If it's 10 bucks like it's listed on Amazon, then I'll surely purchase it when it comes out.

These are not very LARGE books and the details i read about this the other month suggested a price of only £6 here in ENGLAND so 10 bucks sounds about right.Might be tempted then myself....oh go on then i WILL get it!:D

yeah, only 128 pages...

256 then

The author Chris Ott is quite a good scribe and long-time fan of the band. He writes reviews for pitchforkmedia.com although I personally find that site to be more than a little elitist in its analysis.

I have a feeling he may even drop into these forums occasionally. He was the one who wrote quite a scathing piece on the New Order side-projects and how non-plussed he is that diehard fans (ie us) are so supportive of them.

Still, could be a good read.

:\pimp3:

the book was already released a week or two ago on amazon! i got my copy last week. haven't read it yet, though.

It's by a guy from Pitchfork? Uh-oh!

just checked amazon.com. i was curious as to why i got my copy so soon. anyway, the copyright date says july 2004 on the first page for some reason, but it IS available...even used copies are already in stock!

It's £5.05 on Amazon (UK)

Ordered this and the Kevin Cummins book last week from HMV. Release date was given as 1/5/04. Not received them yet though.

The Joy Division book is already out in the US. Ive got it. its short, but really good, lots of information.

You can't help but feel disappointed - yet another NO/JD related product is released with an artwork faux pa. Whoever approved the artwork without noticing that the numbers are positiong the wrong way up needs boiling in tea tree oil. No doubt its the same fox that besmirched 3,500 re-issued Low-Life CD's with default courier font.

... who's in charge? - Don Johnson?

They also added track numbers, didn't they, H?

I don't think the extent of the damage was that extreme, but I could be malfunctioningx.

I was almost on the verge of returning my new NO Sessions CD that I purchased just last week after spending a good half-hour searching for 'Transmission Dancing on the Radio'. 'Only', repeat, 'only' after I had taken off the price tag to reveal 'SACD bonus malarky' did it dawn on me that they had exercised their right to introduce a cunning method of cross-platforming DVD with CD, disenabling the last track from 99.9% of all known CD players.

And to think, only a few years back man was able to chase wild cats with broom handles and knock them down in their prime for firewood.

It must have really gotten you riled up, H, to make you talk about hitting cats with broom handles.

Shit happens.

But you would agree, wouldn't you, H, that RTS sounds pretty good?

never.

It's the culmination of the CD!

I think the Americanism is thus;

'it blows chunks'.

But let's not stir up the hornets nest, which I believe is a phrase originating from Eastern Europe.

"Blows chunks"? Now what does that mean exactly? Chunks of what? Blows in what sense?

Hey - your the American.

I just watch the films.

At a guess, I would imagine it suggests blowing pineapple chunks onto a carefully arranged plate of gammon from a lightweight missile projector.

What's gammon?

Extract from Helen Browning's Totally Organic repository for Eastbrook Farm:

Organic Pork, Bacon, Gammon & Ham

Our Saddleback pigs stroll the Wiltshire Downs looking for fun, adding flavour and texture with every step. The result is pork that tastes, cooks and smells the way it ought to.

You’ll never breakfast alone when others find out you’re cooking Eastbrook’s bacon. We cut the loins to the classic back and streaky shape, dry cure it for at least ten days, and produce a bacon bursting with flavour – and no white ooze.

Why not try one of our favourite recipes: Pork Tenderloin Jamaican Jerk Pork.

No mention of the JD book though - we'll have to assume she's a fan.

So am I to understand that gammon is a cut of pork? Something other than bacon, ham, or loin? Perhaps the pigs listen to JD and NO as they stroll the hills, adding flavor and texture with every step?
