Lupe Fiasco Takes on Joy Division

"The true inspiration for Japanese Cartoon is the band Joy Division," Fiasco told Complex.com. "You ever watch footage of Joy Division singing? Ian Curtis is like a straight nerd. And he [doesn't look] like the rock and roll type. But when he got on stage, he became a completely different animal, like he was having a seizure on stage."

Japanese Cartoon's album, In the Jaws of the Lords of Death, is available as a free download on AllSabotage.com. There's no word yet if the band's next album will be a tribute to New Order. -
