Kraftwerk or Joy Division?

No, not another poll, just a small anecdote that happened to me this last Saturday.

I was at one of the trendiest, coolest pubs in Barcelona, one of these places where everyone seems to have a group, be putting the final touch to his second novel or be acting in an Almodovar film. Sometimes all three. It happens to be also the place with the best music selection in Barcelona, with New Order played quite often.

I was patiently waiting to attract the waiter's attention at the bar when the original version of "The Models" started and the-all-clad-in-black, young lad by my side said cooly to his friends: "How I love this song by Joy Division!"

Errm...and KRAFTWERK's Atmosphere's awesome, too ;)

:lol: Just goes to show you how daft the Spanish are compadre:D

It's like when LWTUA comes on the video juke box at our local, and you try telling people it's not New Order, then when you explain about Ian - it's "aah, that bunch of miserable cunts" :lol: Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle!

"New Order? Didn't they sing 'How Soon Is Now'?" (equivalent expression) :D

You know, the worst episode I know of like that, which has happened more than once that I can recall, is when people have confused New Order with New Edition. The horror !
