Four Songs at the NME Awards tonight? — Forum Archive

17 Feb 2005, 04:44

So, which songs?!

Wouldn't have thought they'd go for any seven minute monsters like Temptation or Blue Monday. Probably keep it quite short and sweet, particularly as it's a sit-down affair so the lads might feel like they're performing at a wedding or summat, and want to get on/off stage as quick as poss. I dread to think what an NME knees-up would be like anyways, I have visions of whole hordes of Nathan Barleys from Chris Morris's new C4 comedy.

LWTUA25 and Krafty are surely a shoe-in. Would hope they'd do some new stuff, but bet they ain't rehearsed at all so I'm gonna go for. . .

LWTUA Krafty Regret Transmission

Can't argue with those, unless they have worked out how to play Working Overtime or something like that. You never know, Rodge the Dodge may have finished sequencing something like Here To Stay!

17 Feb 2005, 05:35

I'll go fer LWTUA25, Ceremony, Regret and Krafty.

17 Feb 2005, 05:50

Krafty is the upcoming single. So they will play it for sure. :shades:

Like they played Here To Stay at the 2002 gigs...... New Order have never worked like that!

17 Feb 2005, 05:55

Nathan Barley is fantastic.

Fancy a game of "cock, muff, bumhole"? :laugh:

17 Feb 2005, 06:36

In order....

Krafty WFTSC Crystal LWTUA

17 Feb 2005, 06:38

PS what's the "25" suffix that's all of a sudden appearing next to LWTUA all about?

17 Feb 2005, 07:12

Edith Bowman's just said they will definitely be playing a couple of Joy Division classics. Looks like Al was right with his original post :nod:

17 Feb 2005, 07:17

A good guess, worked out or insider knowledge? Good job theres nothing riding on it, this is smelling distinctly like the 'first song' sweep that we've fallen for so many times. :shades:

17 Feb 2005, 08:14

It's not just Sussex, its broadcast over the rest of the UK as well.

17 Feb 2005, 08:25

I take it that we North Americans won't have the pleasure of watching this broadcast :cry:

Er, just taking the piss. It's the 25th anniversary, it's in the Brits top tracks from the last 25 years, etc.

17 Feb 2005, 08:46

Apparently being shown at 12:15 tonight on Channel 4, with regular piccies/updates on NME.COM

(According to the advert in the middle of the News section of NME.COM:

"WHO IS THIS YEAR'S GODLIKE GENIUS?"

:bow2: )

Fookin hell Spike, i thought you cracked the old spelling lark!

Dont think the NME awards will be on tv over there, but you should be able to download some of it somewhere. Maybe even the NME website?

17 Feb 2005, 09:12

Anyone taping the event and converting it to .avi or .mpg?

17 Feb 2005, 10:06

I am Sir, a DIGITAL MIKE production

17 Feb 2005, 10:42

Love the avatar Mike.

Bad news for you though....

Blue Monday is gonna be one of the songs played :lol: Just had a phonecall from DoN. So it looks like....LWTUA, Transmish, BM & Krafty, I'm beginning to think they might not play Krafty and settle with Regret, hope I'm wrong (if it's aired)

17 Feb 2005, 10:57

Yeah, according to radio 1 news, Blue Monday will be one of the tracks played.

Apparently they'd heard them soundchecking it.

17 Feb 2005, 11:40

Soundchecking thats a laugh, they just press play don't they - BOLLOCKS

My choice would be;

HURT CHOSEN TIME AGE OF CONSENT KRAFTY - with Auto cue

Cheers Shugster

17 Feb 2005, 11:45

Theres a photo of New Order in the interview area of the awards over on Radio 1 website.Would post it on here but don`t know how.

17 Feb 2005, 11:45

'Soundcheck'!?

I wouldn't mind the full NoD from DoN on just exactly what happens during this so called checking of the sounds.

Is the Wanted poster still up from the last tour? - I heard the bounty was up to 5 grand on the engineers teeth alone.

:hat:

And Bully's special prize.....yer bus fare home. Had you got 4/4 you would have won a speedboat :nuts:

:D

18 Feb 2005, 01:45

At least we've learned that "krafty" obviously made it into the live-set and does not suffer from the "HereToStay"-syndrome...

18 Feb 2005, 04:33

yeah. its a shame isn't it?

18 Feb 2005, 09:59

Live, or "live" (TOTP Here to Stay)? :nonono:

If it was the real deal, how did Krafty sound?? And please say they've reverted back to the economical 4m23s TOTP version of Blue Monday :nod:
