Last night I saw the "Temptation of Victoria" film/vid for the first time thanks to the "Vintage" tv channel, think I might have voted it in the recent ballot, it's excellent

did anyone care at all about Lost Sirens? Listened once
― akm, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 04:30 (twelve years ago)
Haha yeah me too even though I love Waiting for the Sirens Call. Not sure whether the songs are just weaker or whether I've moved on musically

I thought it was alright, but the fire is definitely out, really.

Is it worth it to see New Order live nowadays? They're playing in Brooklyn at the end of July with Holy Ghost.
Note I have never seen them live, ever, so don't have some awesome past show to compare it to.
― dmr, Tuesday, 2 July 2013 20:56 (twelve years ago)
They'll be great.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 2 July 2013 21:02 (twelve years ago)
Go. It's great fun. I saw them for the first time 2 years ago - without Hooky - and enjoyed it very much.

Who was responsible for the "Brain mix" of "Blue Monday-95"? Discogs isn't helpful.
― with hidden noise, Tuesday, 2 July 2013 22:50 (twelve years ago)
saw them a few months ago (sans hook), they were very good, much better than they were when I saw them with him 8 or 10 years ago.
― akm, Tuesday, 2 July 2013 23:32 (twelve years ago)
What is that place they're playing in Brooklyn?
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 00:22 (twelve years ago)
Brain mix was Hawtin or Andrea Parker.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 00:42 (twelve years ago)
All right thanks for the help, I'll probably get tickets!
Dan I thought it was the place near the water where they did 88 Boadrum and where the Jelly NYC shows moved to after the pool became a pool again. But that was "Williamsburg Waterfront" and this is "Williamsburg Park" so I'm not totally sure. In any case it's an outdoor, no-seats venue in that general area. I think that Bob Mould show was there last fall?
― dmr, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 01:19 (twelve years ago)
88 Boadrum was the park down by Dumbo.
There was that park where smorgasburg is, but this says its 14th and Kent.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 01:25 (twelve years ago)
nah 77 was in Dumbo. there was another one the next year in Williamsburg.
There was that park where smorgasburg is
yeah that was Williamsburg Waterfront I think. had to move it again to get farther away from the Kent Avenue waterfront high-rises I guess.
― dmr, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 03:05 (twelve years ago)
Oh I forgot there was more than one. I remember waiting on line forever and a certain ilxor saying fuck it and jumping the fence.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 03:48 (twelve years ago)
Regarding New Order, one of the great regrets of my life is not having downloaded the splendid Recycle Project series. I am happy to have Confusion at least.

Seeing them Wed. :D
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Monday, 29 July 2013 16:10 (twelve years ago)
Saw them last night for the first time, amazing show. They really worked the crowd up in spite of not moving much. I hadn't checked out setlists from recent shows so I was happily surprised by a lot of it - definitely some unexpected choices. The Hook substitute dude was pretty convincing but overplayed a little bit on some tracks.
― Vinnie, Monday, 29 July 2013 16:53 (twelve years ago)
the Brooklyn show last Wednesday was great. super fun.
― dmr, Monday, 29 July 2013 17:19 (twelve years ago)
poor Hooky, rejected by wee Boaby :-(

He can always join the Wake

For some reason I couldn't imagine Peter Hook fitting in with Primal Scream, both on a musical level and a personal level.

Barney's a trooper, tell you h'whut.
― Austin, Tuesday, 30 July 2013 03:55 (twelve years ago)
Aw, I love Barney so much. I saw the Fall when MES performed with a broken leg, and it was a pretty solid show. He sat behind a desk!
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 30 July 2013 04:04 (twelve years ago)
As I was leaving a hotel one of the doormen said “Break a leg” apparently that’s just what I have done ouch!
Ah, he's still got it...
― Mark G, Tuesday, 30 July 2013 06:02 (twelve years ago)
wow, he seemed totally ok onstage. idk if he moves around more usually or what but i would never have thought he was injured.
i was sort of amazed at how much fun i had and how in this incarnation they are sort of the best possible act for a big summer concert for a nice night.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 1 August 2013 15:54 (twelve years ago)
Yeah.
We saw them this time last year (give-or-take-a-month), and it's not like he goes off poppin' or crowd surfin'..
― Mark G, Thursday, 1 August 2013 15:57 (twelve years ago)
Has everyone seen this surprisingly revealing Making of Blue Monday?

currently listening to their Bestival CD
is Sumner the undisputed king of writing songs he can't actually sing?
― SHAUN (DJP), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 17:05 (twelve years ago)
Oh he's up there. But that's why we love him. (In studio form.)
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 17:20 (twelve years ago)
They just performed Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart at the Carnegie Hall with Iggy Pop on vocals and Philip Glass playing keyboard, apparently.
Also, they have new tracks to be released "as a series of EPs or an album”.
― Alba, Wednesday, 12 March 2014 02:05 (twelve years ago)
Oh, sorry - Ned already revived Joy Division thread.
― Alba, Wednesday, 12 March 2014 02:08 (twelve years ago)
To start off my first post, I got into Joy Division and New Order too lateand apparently missed out on these great Recycle singles remasters
Does anyone have both collections of these and a way to get them over to me
Thanks, Kyle
― kdmc177, Thursday, 29 May 2014 21:49 (twelve years ago)
Welcome Kyle!
we did a huge artist poll of this last year, it was great fun if i may say so myself I feel so extraordinary somePoll's got a hold on me: NEW ORDER artist poll #37 (RESULTS thread) can't help you on the other stuff.
― Bee OK, Friday, 30 May 2014 02:25 (twelve years ago)
I'd love to get these again myself !
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 30 May 2014 12:26 (twelve years ago)
I've still got them all, not as the original flacs though - converted to mp3s. I could upload them somewhere maybe.
― nate woolls, Friday, 30 May 2014 12:39 (twelve years ago)
Mp3s are cool with me, nate. But no rush. Thanks!

He should have overseen a proper reissue campaign when he was alive.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 May 2014 16:31 (twelve years ago)
I'm not sure they were ever available as FLACs?
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Friday, 30 May 2014 16:32 (twelve years ago)
they were mp3s. I have meant for awhile to UL them for a couple of ilxors who missed them for but it ends up being a pretty big archive file...
LOL it seems I missed getting only one: Regret
