There won't be no April's Fool this year due to legal measures by Warner Music... Sorry, folks!
Oh boy, we could to the usual "preview a track from the 2006 album"... but then again, I spent too much time putting this server up.
And I need to go to work before it gets too late ;)
Go on Nick I look forward to reading it in my local paper (the 'irish daily' Star - they print lots of stories they obviously get from here)
'concerts in jepordy due to. . . ' basist's severed arm? new guitarist being afraid to fly? Bernard joining a religeous cult ? Drummer arrested for crashing his tank into police station in Macclesfield?
loads of possabilities
"New Order banned from the US because on US terrorist list"...
Ask Cat Stevens, he knows how it is ;)
here's a ready made:
From the Manchester Evening Standard (if such exists?)
New Order drummer arrested
Stephen Morris, the drummer in well known Manchester band New Order, has been arrested this morning in Macclesfield after a bizzare tank incident.Shortly before 8am this morning Morris was seen driving through the front wall of Macclesfield Police station in one of his armoured tanks. Mr Morris was arrested by the shaken Police. Two Officers sustained minor injuries while Mr Morris was said to be 'unhurt'.While the constabulary are remaining tight-lipped about the incident, locals have stated that there has been a long-running vendeta between Mr Morris & one particular Officer.If, as expected the drummer is sentenced, the planned summer tour dates could be in jepordy.The band's management were unavailable for comment.
What do you think?

Somebody on Retroforward's forums said I had the most obnoxious avatar, so a change was done.
Check the front page now!
That is actually not such a good idea. If somebody doesn't have a sense of humor, they might sue you.
Good Stuff 
A little on the obvious side though. I believed the RHCP story last year - that was a classic.

It wasn't that false though, instead of John Frusciante, Phil Cunningham joined the band!!

An update:
Stephen Morris was quoted in regard to the incident.
"I was on the piss, and I went to get some fags from the drive-thru mini-mart, but I get all turned around cuz the tank's night vision is shite! Anyways, it was Barney's (New Order's Bernard Sumner) fault anyhow! He gave me shite directions!"
Thanks for the positives
it wasn't bad for a 5 minute top-of-the-head thing.
I'll have to work on something more subtle for next year
