Hello all,
My name is Eleanor and I'm from New York City. Though it may seem more "elementary" then what a lot of people who post on this site know, I thought you all might be interested in this project that my friend Tya and I are working on. Any contributions, ideas, suggestions or questions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Our names are Eleanor and Tya and we are in our early
twenties and late teens, and reside in New York City
and Columbus, Ohio, respectively. We am assembling a
fanzine about Joy Division, New Order and directly
related artists from the late seventies to mid
eighties. The idea for this project came about
because of a growing obsession of ours with these
bands. We want to explore the the political and
artistic influence they have had on our art and our
lives and celebrate what they have created. We are
also interested in articles which compare media,
critical and personal responses to their music in the
1980’s versus the present. We are looking to create a
forum to build connections between fans and to discuss
our theories and ideas about these bands with other
fans. Currently we are looking for essays about these
bands and their songs, current interviews with
underground artists who cite these bands as an
influence and inspiration, a stories or essays about
how these bands have affected you, stories about
seeing or interacting with these bands, as well as
profiles of people who make and maintain fan web sites
and document the history of these bands. We are also
interested in information about other artists who have
worked with Joy Division and New Order, such as Martin
Hannett who produced Joy Divisions albums and had his
own project, the Invisible Girls, and Peter Saville,
who has designed every album cover for both Joy
Division and New Order and is an incredibly
influential graphic designer. Any other thoughtful
piece of writing or information which would be
interesting and relevant to a New Order and Joy
Division fanzine is welcome as well.
The fanzine will also include a limited edition
videocassette. Contributions for this component of
the project could be a film made to or about a New
Order or Joy Division song, a short film or part of a
film inspired by New Order or Joy Division,
documentary pieces that relate to the time period or
any other piece of art which might be best expressed
on videocassette format. Film pieces must be
submitted in VHS format and be the best quality
possible.
Twenty Years Too Late is a one shot zine and will
have an approximate print run of 500. It will be sold
by zine distributors in the US and Internationally and
sold at zine, music and comic stores in the US. It
will be made in the do-it-yourself spirit and be hand
bound with a letterpress printed cover. It will be
printed on a photocopier or by an offset printer,
depending on costs. The video will have a limited run
of 200. This project will be exclusively not for
profit and will be advertising free, though
contributors are welcome to include their contact
information and their current artistic projects. A
copy of the zine and the video will be given to each
contributor. Deadline for contributors for both the
fanzine and the video is May 1, 2002. The zine is due
out in July of 2002.

Damn, you stole my idea!.....
Well, if you're taking essays from fans, I could write a few nice pieces...You may wanna seek out Ideal For Living (the book by Mark Johnson), that's a pretty good resource for JD/NO material.
Your idea?
In 1993, there was a New Order fanzine named NOISE - for New Order Information Service - made by Andrea Lum and to which I contributed frequently and it was later abandonned. Andrea graciously gave me the permission to re-start NOISE, and this time, as an electronic fanzine & newsletter.
Now, if you were wondering WHY there was a check mark for "Newsletter" in your account editor, this is why!
We just never found the time nor the energy to put this project on tracks. If anyone's willing to do it and manage it entirely, let us know (AND YOU BETTER BE SERIOUS ABOUT IT -- We don't want e-mails from wankers who will offer their help and then from whom we'll never hear ever again like it happened for SO MANY PEOPLE, it would take years to name them -- the last of them being Dj Lex).

Hi , my name is.....shit, help me out here please!
But i would like to recieve some pictures of you two young girls. You sound so sweet.
By the way, i used to by a JD/NO mag. in the eighties but it wasn't called NOISE. Forgot the name but it came in A5 format (i.o.w. half a A4)
There's been some good fanzines over the years.
Standard, from Holland, was probably the best but then the guy who produced it (Max?) got into the Sisters of Mercy and the fanzine lost the plot somewhat.
Then there was Last Orders by some lad in Maidenhead called Bobby.
Longest running though has to be Paradise, by some lad called David from Macclesfield (I think?).
*BOLLOCKS* I've just been getting a 'network is busy' when trying to send this - not had that in ages. . .
It just took me about half an hour to fucking get back in here !!"time out" all the time!!! And thanks Allen i think the mag i mentioned was Standard. It was pretty good i thought. So tickly twins, where are you??nudge nudge

That Bobby Bhamra geezer had loads of tapes off me back in the good 'ol days - seems he fell out with his co-editor Jon Chambers and Last Orders bit the dust. A pity, as I enjoyed writing gig reviews for that, and it increased my tape trade no end !
