Search and Destroy : New Order

88 Boadrum was the park down by Dumbo.

There was that park where smorgasburg is, but this says its 14th and Kent.

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.

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.

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.

dr joseph you can email me via the site and I'll straighten that out for you

Gillian just retweeted this and I almost shot coffee out of my nose: https://twitter.com/JD_Central/status/361744392983281664

Seeing them Wed. :D

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.

the Brooklyn show last Wednesday was great. super fun.

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.

He's just a fatter Mani

Barney's a trooper, tell you h'whut.

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!

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...

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.

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'..

Has everyone seen this surprisingly revealing Making of Blue Monday?

The bit about the sequencer being off-beat is mind blowing.

halfway through it as we speak

currently listening to their Bestival CD

is Sumner the undisputed king of writing songs he can't actually sing?

Oh he's up there. But that's why we love him. (In studio form.)

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”.

Oh, sorry - Ned already revived Joy Division thread.

To start off my first post, I got into Joy Division and New Order too late
and 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

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.

I'd love to get these again myself !

I've still got them all, not as the original flacs though - converted to mp3s. I could upload them somewhere maybe.

Mp3s are cool with me, nate. But no rush. Thanks!

rob gretton is turning over in his grave you thieves

He should have overseen a proper reissue campaign when he was alive.

I'm not sure they were ever available as FLACs?

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

Was that included? Recycle focused on the Factory years specifically I thought.

Oh so that's why I added Regret to my version of the "box" from a different source. Never mind. I felt like Regret belonged there despite not fitting the strict brief.

I think they were AAC files. Mine are at least.

I seem to remember it being part of their mission statement to not do it in lossless, so that the official folks would have some incentive to release proper re-dos.

It remains one of the best fan-made things the internet has ever given me (see also 1981 box set, Prince 12" collection, and The Beatles Redux)

Also the Smiths series. And this:

1981 box set was epic. I leant mine to someone who never gave it back but I still have the files.

I love the 1981 set because it is full of acts I like but rarely the song I would pick from each act.

say what you will about the legitimacy of the hookless lineup, but I saw them again last night and I think they play better live these days than they ever have, in no small part because gillian and morris are so good together. also barney can finally carry a tune.

does he still dance like a drunk uncle at a wedding?

No, and he stopped going "whoo" in
The songs too

all problems fixed imo

"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)."

heh, that's awesome. I love this phase of New Order live, they seem really happy!
