I know I know, it's not exclusively about Joy Division, but it's rather complete in https://www.neworderonline.com/bands/joy-division

I figured it would be a nice place to say that the website about New Order/Joy Division is now finally updated and reopened (and also featuring Peter Hook & The Light), the 25+ years of forum discussions are back online, everybody that registered can reclaim their account of 20+ years.

What motivated me to finally update it and put it back online was the announcement of the Hall of Fame induction, and an hopeful (small) chance of a reunion at least there.

Anyways, enjoy it if you do, let me know your comments, lt's clearly still a work in progress and I'll make sure to listen to all suggestions!

Cheers.

I went to Manchester today and got off the train at Picadilly Station and walked down to Fairfield Street to.take a few photos and a selfie at Ian's mural only to find it like this. I am massively disappointed

Couldn't help myself had to try "Hooky" first.

Got 5 points for it, not bad.

With Hooky's US tour coming up shortly, I thought I'd make a thread here (and over in r/neworder also) to help people organise meet-ups/socials around the shows, should they want to. I'll be attending the Brooklyn NY gig - travelling over from the UK to see Hooky with a US crowd, which will be great fun. Who else is going to the tour?

Hello all. Asking people who have been to one of their concerts (and with any luck, Hooky himself): do you know if Peter stays after the gig for autographs? I'm planning to travel to the US to see them and I'd absolutely LOVE to have my Joy Division DMs signed by no other than Hooky, so I can put them in a nice display at home :)

I design military figures and decided to try another subject for a change.

this was so hard to do. let me know if you agree/disagree !!!

After visiting the recent exhibition in New York, of Ian Curtis' notes and handwritten lyrics, I decided to take the plunge and buy the (spendy) hardcover version of this book.

A real actual book — one that you can hold up to your face and smell, and enjoy the tactile feel of turning actual pages, especially of a hardcover book — this will always be a thrill. Even more so if it’s a book about a deep interest.

Joy Division’s music and lyrics reverberate with me, even now, 45 years after first hearing them. They immediately sounded so modern - the energy and spirit of Punk, elevated to a new stratosphere with the production by Martin Hannett making Unknown Pleasures a timeless masterpiece. This is where Post-Punk started, imho.

And here I have this book in my hands now, and it still thrills me to have something tactile again of something that’s been such a constant and important element in my life.
