Search and Destroy : New Order

Player in the League - godlike b-side to Crystal or one of the Get Ready singles that was inexplicably left off of the album.

Get Ready - It may be heresy, but I find this to be their strongest album track-for-track, better than Low-Life, Brotherhood, or Technique. I hate hate hate Smashing Pumpkins, but the awesomeness of New Order somehow even makes Billy Corgan's vocal cameo seem cool.

Regret - duh.

And I quite like the Sub-Culture 12" mix.

Destroy:

Shellshock & State of the Nation - These two tracks seemed like throwaways compared to what came before and after them.

bahahaha!

I just can't believe he said Stairway to Heaven was a beautiful piece of music. I mean that takes the same kind of guts to say that as it does to come out with some of lyrics he does dunnit? That's Barney!

I actually had a similar "aha!" moment with Hendrix about a year ago. Some live version of "Machine Gun".

1) Transmission.
2) She's Lost Control
3) Shadowplay
4) Love Will Tear Us Apart
5) Atmosphere
6) Warsaw

Shadowplay! Warsaw!

I finally got the P.F.D. 1985 Tokyo video for my very own and of course it's flipping my lid. Barney's hair never looked better, I mean he is rocking an impeccable hairstyle, there. The songs are classic, the band is classic, Gillian is classic, Peter Hook needs to explain why he wore such extremely boring sweatpants, though. I mean what??? Where is the leather, man? Where's your IMAGE, right? LOL

Hightlights so far:

Barney actually daring to play bass guitar alongside Hooky on "Confusion"

Barney kicking mic stand in front of the bass drum in rock-and-roll Who style in the middle of "Sunrise".

You know what? I am SICK AND TIRED OF BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE.

I am sick and tired of it. If I ask a DJ to play New Order, ANY New Order, and they choose that song??????????????...ARRRRRRRRGH. Let alone the mother fucker at work who only knows ONE New Order song and it's that...I just want to smack him.

Fucking bore me with Blue Monday for the 7 billionth time ANYDAY instead of that damn BLT shit. You know? Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato?

I am SICK AND TIRED OF AMERICANS WHO ONLY KNOW "EVERY TIME I SEE YOU FALLING" AND DUDE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG OR THE BAND! THAT'S ALL THEY KNOW IS "EVERY TIME I SEE YOU FALLING"

AND IT SUXXXXXSSSSSSSSSSS ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Really, Blue Monday has been overdone to death, I know, but if someone plays me fucking Bizarre Love Triangle again...

That sounds terrible. I hope I never get tired of it - it's one of my favourite songs of all time. Shame Crystal doesn't get played more out.

One thing not mentioned on this thread that I'd search for...

Peter Saville Show Soundtrack

New Order's other main excursion into the soundtrack (aside from the full length Elegia).

Peter Saville is HAWT.

Only sleeve he didn't design y'know.

He looks like Bryan Ferry to me.

(My current ringtone is Blue Monday, Bimble!)

Heheh. Well that's better than Ozzy's Crazy Train which my coworker drives me nuts with on his ringtone AND in his loud headphones all the time (I mean it's a good song, I know, but...).

I actually have the Peter Saville show soundtrack, burned it to CD-R awhile back. Don't remember thinking much of it, but perhaps I'll pull it out here in a sec when I finish ripping records for my blog.

I am SICK AND TIRED OF AMERICANS WHO ONLY KNOW "EVERY TIME I SEE YOU FALLING" AND DUDE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG OR THE BAND!

But Bim, that means New Order's project worked.

I know...everyone has seen how hilarious this video is...of Barney & Co. dressing up like a late 80's hair metal band. And even I have already seen it, years ago, but I'd forgotten all about it when I saw it played in a club tonight and I want to remind everyone who agrees with me that hair metal sucks ass that this is probably the best video New Order have ever done:

Also, Bon Jovi can suck my dick, okay?

great video.

Um, I love this video, and I like a lot of hair metal. shrug.

If I ask a DJ to play New Order, ANY New Order, and they choose that song?

"Perfect Kiss" is my go-to New Order song, when New Order is requested. (I am american).

We're playing for England/we're playing this song/arrive derci it's one on one/

I've got the Rocking Carol flexi. I am so much more goth than you, it's not funny.
Did you hear me? I have the New Order Rocking Carol flexi on my hard drive. That means
I am a hell of a lot more goth than you.

rocking carol is shit and you know it.

out loud, to self, before clicking on thread: "bimble woke this up"

also, I saw New Order on the Power Corruption & Lies tour at a place called Billy Barty's Roller Fantasy, they closed w/Ceremony & I now have a pristine copy of the show, so I am more goth than Bimble by half

I've been playing 'World in Motion' again and again lately !!

I have this. 'Cries and Whispers' is pretty great. Barney's comment before 'ICB', too: "If you like this, you must like Ronald Reagan. If you like this, you'll like fucking anything."

& you're more goth than Bimble by half.

I agree with Cookie, Youn and Gareth: let's lose 'Blue Monday'!!

Loads of people upthread mention 'Age of Consent', then Ally (I think) turns up and says 'why does no one ever mention "Age of Consent"?' ... myself, I've never heard it.

Search a lot including

Temptation
Bizarre Love Triangle
1963
World in Motion
True Faith
Regret
All The Way -- now this is one underrated New Order track
Love Less

- yes, I am stating the obvious.

Maybe lose Thieves Like Us, Shellshock, State of the Nation

oh, THIS is 'age of consent'?

Lose 'Thieves Like Us'? Together with 'Lonesome Tonight' you could make a case for it being the best thing they ever did. (You'd be wrong, but not far off.)

More underrated goodness:

Hurt
Sooner Than You Think
Way of Life

Following the Movement poll, I've been obsessed by Chosen Time

I saw New Order in 1984 when they played Perfect Kiss for the first time ever and they also played Decades as an encore. So there.

you guys are all SO goth!

I've got a cock
It looks like the M1
It's long and thin
It's got a white line down it

It curls about
It curls about
There's crashes on it
And service stations too

For Brits, have just noticed that Spotify has the deluxe versions of all the LPs online now. Am going to go and binge!

Can you explain that last comment?

Spotify - anyone heard of it?

x-post what HI DERE said, but also:

Spotify: http://www.spotify.com/en/

Allows you to play back albums in full over the internet, legally. They have added all New Order's 80s albums very recently, previously they only had Technique and Low Life.

So is it like lastfm?

They have music online also

Kind of, except last.fm has much more limited album playback capabilities. It's more internet radio, whereas Spotify bills itself as a medium through which to play back whole albums, as well as offering radio functionality.

so its like Deezer?

x-post Lots more discussion on that thread linked to above though, don't want to derail this one!

I am playing it now, would you believe - 'Ceremony'

destroy

everything's gone green

oh, THIS is 'everything's gone green'?

these titles always escaped me.

Destroy Ceremony? You're crazy.

OK, keep it

I've moved on to GO SAILOR !!!

out loud, to self, before clicking on thread: "bimble woke this up"

I assume/think this for 100 percent of post-punk threads woken up in the AM hours of the night (US time).

And 90 percent of the time, it's true.

pinefox, do you even like new order, wtf
