Sad news of a slightly different sort coming out of the Joy Division fold: The BBC reports that the gravestone marking the grave of Ian Curtis, the late frontman for the legendary mope-rockers, has been stolen.

According to the BBC, at some point between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, thieves removed the stone from its perch at the Macclesfield Cemetery in Curtis' hometown of Macclesfield, England. Authorities currently have no leads as to the whereabouts of the stone, which bears the inscriptions "Ian Curtis 18 - 5 - 80" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

In other Ian Curtis grave-robbing news, a limited edition Unknown Pleasures-themed Zune was recently released.

It is very good, but if you have the option, get the Joy Division documentary (called wait for it "Joy Division"): its better-er.

You will have all the hair stand up on the back of your neck with the opening bars of Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart.

I might have to give my vinyl bootleg of the Warsaw album a spin over the weekend.

auld lang syne and all that.
