British authorities are calling it an “unusual theft,” which we’ll go ahead and agree with: the Joy Divison front man’s memorial stone, inscribed with “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” has been torn apart from his grave and stolen from a Cheshire cemetery. Lame. Details at BBC.

    Like most of the bad things that happen because of Joy Division’s influence, I’m gonna blame She Wants Revenge for this one.
