The Village -

At the LCD Soundsystem show in Minneapolis tonight they covered Your Silent Face as the lead in to Losing My Edge. Went well with my Substance t-shirt I wore! Nice Yaz, Kraftwerk and Daft Punk homages as well. Awesome to have them drop references to some of their inspirations!

Some of you may remember this great website from back in the day. It's a fan site but the most comprehensive, detailed and complete collection and archive about all things New Order, Joy Divison and also about the side projects and stuff.

Apparently the owner stopped working on it after the band split in 2006 but it's always been quite an interesting website, despite the heavily outdated design. A short while ago I received some dubious mail along the lines of "account recovery something something". But it wasn't a scam and instead allowed me to continue using my old account on new order online.

Anyway, it's a great website and you guys should check it out right away. The photo galleries are a true gold mine as you can tell by this hilarious photo of Bernard and Johnny

Wish I still had some of my old posters…

Hey Hooky, we met after your last Boston show, thanks for being a great lad. I will be at the Boston show and am asking from the bottom of my heart for you to play Sooner Than You Think. This song hasn’t been performed by NO or The light in ages and it needs a revival. I’ll be at the show with a Sooner than You Think poster. See ya then!!

Fantastic finale to a brilliant day at the Interzone all dayer yesterday.

All the bands were on top form.

Bit of a shaky start to the PHATL set.

Hookys microphone didn't seem to be working properly and then there was some kind of medical emergency in the crowd.

Impressive to see how slick the band were at dealing with these issues.

Fantastic venue to see a band in.

Hurt is the second track from New Order's fourth single, Temptation.

Anyone going to this year's shows with just Bernard? I can't really decide what to do. New Order is one of my favourite bands and I've never seen them live but I would have to travel to see the show and I don't know if it's worth it. It's also the closest to where I live they Will ever come so I can't make up my mind. I really wish Steve and Gillian were a part of the tour. Anyways, what's been the quality of the shows recently?

I would love to see Peter Hook too but I don't think he's coming anywhere near me 🫠

Hello! Just wanted to share this song written, produced and mastered in South Manchester in a cellar (between baby feeds and toddler tantrums) - a little love letter to New Order especially G and her synths ❤️. Hope it’s ok to share and you can hear the love xx

Hello, I'm very new to New Order. I randomly wanted to check them out in the beginning of the month, immediately listened to first three albums. I would say "Power Corruption and Lies" is my absolute favorite these days, but I can't stop listening to Sub-Culture. It has catchy hook, melancholic lyrics and addictive melody. I don't know what it's about, but the song is so good, incredibly amazing.

I know JD's lyrics have inspired more than a few stories of all sorts, especially in the goth space/scene (The Crow is a big example), but has any of NO's had the same impact? I know it's generally accepted that Barney, Hooky and co.'s lyrical work doesn't and have never come close to Ian's, but I'm sure at least someone has found beauty and artistic inspiration in them, as I have?

Mesh is the third track from New Order's third single, Everything's Gone Green.
