From a CBC radio show archive Jamie Stewart says, "An Ian Curtis wish list is a list of things that you have convinced yourself that you want to have happen, but you know that are never going to happen.

So an Ian Curtis wish list is things that would fall into that category… like being crazy into this person.”
Jamie Stewart also talks about the drunk make-out story that horse_tamer mentioned, which is a funny story in a high school way.
You can find an audio recording of the interview online by going to the Brave New Waves website.

So yeah… if you’re curious, try and find the interview.
