Search and Destroy : New Order

^^ Saw that video for the first time this weekend, don't know much about N.O at all, that was a non-album track?

Yeah, like many of the singles. This one done for a movie soundtrack though.

The video makes more sense (and is even funnier) if you watch contemporary Warrant and Poison videos.

Plus, bonus Rob Gretton cameo.

Bon Jovi was probably the best/worst role model for that video.

Specifically "Living On A Prayer"

Meantime I've just read the bizarre news that John Barnes has been asked to rerecord his "World in Motion" rap for what I presume is some sort of rerelease for next year or something. Uh.

!

I'm trying to get more information on this as I type.

Apparently mentioned on Radcliffe and Maconie's show. Perhaps nothing but a miserable lie. Or...?

holy lolz

GAH

Get in the mood with his version of it from last year!

Apparently will feature lyrics promoting Mars bars!

"We're singing for Mars Bars..."

"after 90 minutes of sheer hell, you're gonna be thirsty"

Meantime, while we all wait on the next Recycle entry, an interesting little bonus...

Blue Monday 1988 is online.

Did anybody receive those replacement discs from Rhino yet? I got an email more than a month ago swearing they would be sent 'within 10 business days,' but nothing has arrived.

Still waiting here.

Fine Time is up.

I was just about the say that. Sounds fantastic (Hooky's heavy breathing coming through clear). You're a star.

Round & Round is up.

Run 2 is up.

On a roll! Thanks as ever.

So they're reunioning!

I missed that bit of news.

so did the rest of the world. you might consider posting a source.

Sorry, the news story was from 2006, even though it was right next to that "re-recording WorldInMot" story on that tourdates site.

Then again, if they're re-recording that song, presumably some sort of "reunion" would have to happen.

Is there something upthread in that "click here to read them all" bit?

From what I understood, the band aren't rerecording, they're just getting some new SOCCER DOODS in to record new vocals.

it bears repeating: best thing on Internet currently

^^^ this. I mean holy crap wow these sound SO good.

hee hee, I had never heard the Blue Monday 88 remixes. They're terrible! In a sort of fun way.

Yes, but !Where Is It!!??!

World In Motion is up.

Hey, congrats for getting through all of this -- and THANK YOU for your efforts.

I stopped downloading about half way though so I could listen to them all in a row - something I intend to do at least twice this weekend. Thanks so much for this!

Amazing work - and JD next!

New Order celebrating this momentous occasion.

you know that video of them doing Temptation at the bbc in 1984, i fucking love everything about that video

those shorts!

Saw Bad Lieutenant opening for Pet Shop Boys last night. Oh dear. I came in a few songs into their set, but they were doing Bizarre Love Triangle. When they started doing Chemical Brothers' 'Out of Control', it really began to properly feel like Barney was in his own cover band. Then it segued into 'Temptation', which is as unfuckwithable as ever. Still, ending on 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' was a step too far removed from the original to work. Would have preferred if he had just played their own stuff (which I've never heard), but so it goes. Lots of dad-dancing and yelping as per usual.

I can imagine Neil and Chris smirking from stage left.

So they didn't do any Electronic songs with Neil and Chris? I was hoping they would. So far they've only done Tighten Up, which I love, but they're playing it many bpms too fast and it just sounds weird.

HI DAD NICE DANCING

Bernard needs to get Johnny Marr back, keep Steve on drums, add LOL Tolhurst or whichever Cure Bassist and maybe Fletch (added LOL) on keyboards and have the ultimate 80s supergroup.

Lol never played bass, though; he'd either need to get Michael Dempsey or, Phil Thornally if he wanted a former Cure bassist.

Also I'm sure Fletch isn't leaving Depeche Mode but Alan Wilder might be convinced to show up if they throw a couple of Recoil tracks onto the playlist.

Man does he look like Shatner nowadays. That said, the song in that YT clip ain't half bad.

he's doing covers of early electronic album tracks with his new band?? wtf.

I finally received the replacement discs in the mail today from Rhino for the fucked-up New Order remasters! I did not listen to them yet.
