Hey Mike,he could join you, you Barney lookalike!!!

Oooooohhh! For one tasty heart-stoppingly thrilling moment there I saw the first three words of this thread..... PAUL MORLEY DROPS....

And I was hoping it would read as, not a tribute to the Cocteau Twins, but, more crucially....

Paul Morley Drops Dead.

From verbal diarrhoea overdose......

Oh, it was soooooooo close to pure heaven just then.

Too bad it ain't so! :(

Looking forward to Hooky singing The Perfect Kiss.

And The Village !

No idea what authority it's on though.

SAD SAD SAD

I put the article into Google Translate (Italian to English). Obviously, not a perfect translation, but you can understand what the article generally means.

He had announced several months ago, and now goes by the promise action. Peter Hook, as he himself had also reported directly to Rockol last November 8 , after having made ​​up his mind fully reproduce the wonderful idea of "Unknown Pleasures" by Joy Division, now flies to the next step of course: "Closer." At the end of 2010 Hooky, talking about his new group, the Light, he told us: "This time we come down to a single 'Transmission'. In the next tour, next year, will the songs of 'Closer' and those of 'Still'. And then those of 'Movement', the first album by New Order. " There we are. The Light, in view of a probable new tour, will perform for the first time in full the dark "Closer", the deadly "second hand" seems to prefigure the sad death of Ian Curtis, on 18 May at Manchester's Factory. A significant part of collection will be donated to two charities. The Light of the debut EP entitled "1102 / 2011" and will be published next May 2. Absolute gem, the disc contains "Pictures in My Mind", unpublished piece of Joy Division.

i used to think that hooky should release a chord/tab book of joy division bass lines. then i realized how fucking simple they are.

Another Italian website, it claims Hooky's 'thinking of replaying Movement in 2012' http://www.eurojump.com/content/peter-hook-porta-ancora-tour-il-ricordo-dei-joy-division... Don't hold me responsible for any of these, I'm as much in the dark as anyone else, I'm just passing on web''info'' for those who don't speak Italian! Incidentally - if the Light do redo the NO LPs after JD's, let's hope they integrate the contemporaneous singles too. For if JD were an LP band, NO were far more a singles band, don't you think? Let's take Movement as a classic example - the least accomplished NO album yet flanked by Ceremony and Temptation, their most enduring singles in the live set!

Maybe Barney should also start a tribute band. If he works his way backwards then maybe he'd meet Hooky in the middle.

Everytime I meet Barney he seems to give me daggers. This could be why.

If you consider Hooky has done UP and CLOSER, and Barney starts now with WTFSC, the middle album would be TECHNIQUE! Hell yes!

Actually, the more I think about it, it might not be a bad option at all, not like anyone else's going to play the songs off Movement ever again, and they deserve airing, they were so much bettrer live than on the album, and one member is better than no member anyway. So ok why not.

McCluskey remembered playing a London gig supporting ACR and Joy Division when his bass got nicked and he recently discovered that the culprit was Hooky!. No-one in the room was surprised.

Blimey O'Riley! That gig took place at the Acklam Hall in Westbourne Park (west London). That bass was a bit unusual; it was a left-hander which Andy played upside down! I never knew that Hooky nicked it. I wonder if Hooky ever played it live. Andy bought the Fender Jazz bass which he still uses to replace the nicked one.

I'm pretty sure that OMD played Almost live quite recently. They definitely played it on 4.12.81 as it's on the live Drury Lane DVD. I wouldn't mind seeing Hooky play Movement, then P, C and L and then the glorious Low-Life...

Hooky's Right Hand wrote: I was lucky enough (seriously) to be at a Paul Morley hosted 'Tribute to Tony Wilson' Thursday Night at Purcell Room on London's South Bank as part of Ray Davies' Meltdown festival. Anyway in passing Morley made a comment about chatting to Hooky recently about what he was going to do next and how it would piss off Barney and Steve. Morley being Morley then said he had been sworn to silence and then merely mentioned FAC 50/Movement.

Draw as many erroneous conclusions as you want.

BTW OMD ended the evening with a short set which for me at least was fun as last time I saw them was at the Festival of the 10th summer when some young whipper snapper managed to get on the stage with them and started attacking them with a tin tray - happpy days...

i've been thinking about it & i don't see what it could possibly be

I'm looking forward to hearing that BS's head has exploded when he gets round to doing Electronic's first LP!

Are you joking? In 2023, he'll be touring "The Other Two & You"?

Fuck off. I'd rather go watch Hooky lie back on stage while he underwent an industrial-strength enema.

Patience. He'll get around to Republic in good time.

You know... While I despise Republic with all my heart and all my soul and all my mind, The Light doing it live isn't quite as off-the-wall as it might sound. Nearly half the tracks were played live during the 93 please-we-do-exist tour (Regret - a staple - plus RIAD, World, Everyone Everywhere and even Special), and even if Hooky ain't playing bass in the final mix (a) he probably was at the demo stage, and (b) he'd be singing half the time anyway. Plus as I've said before, we punters can rip the poo out of a project, but ultimately we'd rather spend a night in the company of the Light than sit at home in our underwear watching 'EastEnders'. I'd be up for it!!!

Republic would be great. Lots of bass on the live versions of all those songs - Regret being the stand-out in terms of improvement. Great bass on that one.

Anyway, the real reason for this post is to let all you Moreley fans know that the great man has contributed to the Late Night Tales MGMT cd. An exclusive spoken word track, no less, entitled Lost for Words Part. 2. Worth buying for the title alone.

If you don't know what Late Night Tales is, then give it a Google - some cracking rekkids on their catalogue.

Maybe the world ending in 2012 doesn't seem so bad now.
