No Announcement Tomorrow, or any other day

I can't be fucking bothered with all the hassle.

Britney's pregnant!

Why are you keeping it a secret? That is why we visit these message boards; so we can get "inside" and "secret" information before the gen. public ever does?

Does it have to do with New Order???

Yes it does, but you have to read between the lines. Britney met the M1 a couple months ago!

...this is no doubt going to be about his Joy Division cover band playing some more tiny venues at a Pub near you.

More pub talk.

I don't care if you are gay, Tim. Really.

So what big changes is the new pope going to introduce to church music? Or is this not the announcement?

Bernard's pregnant, I knew it.

New Order is playing in the Vatican at the Pope's Release party????

They are going to play everything from the Salvation soundtrack.

Nothing to do with any pub bands!

Anything to do with an Ian Curtis commemorative gig?

Can't wait any longer?

Still waiting for the (confirmation) call. Sirens not withstanding.

Ok no problem, just tell us the rumour then!

Still waiting to see if Jesus does want me for a sunbeam or not.....

So Digital are supporting NO at Hyde Park then?

Or maybe not. Put us out of our misery, Tim :(

Ok...it's tomorrow...what is the big announcement???

Don't leave us hangin'!!!!!!!!!

Can you at least drop us a clue????

Rob

what?what?

It's the Paul McCartney tour dates!

Okay, put us out of our misery now - what is it that couldn't be said yesterday/today??

Oh shit, Sir Paul will be playing in my town

Digital announces tour of Midwestern U.S. shopping malls, featuring Gnu Odor as "Gillian" on selected dates.

Trying to get confirmation from my contact, who has been strangely absent from both e-mail and phone over the last 24 hours. I honestly can't say if I am allowed to reveal the news yet, when I set up the thread in the first place it was because I was of the understanding that I would be able to release it what is now yesterday, but I am still awaiting that release confirmation.

Maybe your contact saw the writing on the wall and legged it.

Back selling vegies at Brixton market.

C'mon...go ahead and tell us..just give your posting an "unofficial and unconfirmed news" title...

All I can say is that there is a Nirvana connection likely to happen for some NOOL regulars in the near future.

This is 2 possibilities...

1. Foo Fighters related
2. New Order in Seattle related

or

3. Courtney Love related...

:D

You forgot Eyes Adrift, Krist Novoselic's band with Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets.

Is Bernard Sumner going to be using a 12-gauge shotgun soon?

Just email me. I won't tell anyone.

Courtney Love is going to buy all of us- that couldn’t get them- tickets to the NY New Order show.

She’s so generous.

What do I have to do to earn her generosity?

New Order Unplugged? Now that would be nice

Something to do with Butch Vig?

Nirvana are reforming with Barney doing the vocals.

Well, he's certainly got the experience...

The Order cover In Bloom

Any UPDATE?

New Order announce small, end-of-year tour of Oz.

DC, CTB, Kirschy, Buffer, Pillar, DogBowl, Shergold and co reach nirvana-like state of conciousness.

Holding my breath so long now (in anticipation) that i've gone blue :(

I know! Ian Curtis and Kurt Cobain are coming back from the dead, and will be doing an international tour performing their greatest hits together. Backing musicians will be John Bonham, Jimi Hendrix, and Dee Dee Ramone.

In the name of Pope Benedict XVI!!!....Please tell us the important announcement!

It has now been two days since the announcement should have occurred!

Unless, we have all been suckered....

FFS Rob - I have already stated elsewhere in this thread that I cannot reveal what was going to be said until I get permission to do so. I had expected this to be granted on Wednesday, hence the heads up, and in retrospect it was probably a bit too soon.

is it that easytree is back ;)

totally f****** lame

What's the problem? Oldmonkey has offered to pass us a tip when he receives permission to do so. It's not his fault that he hasn't received the go ahead. Some of you are acting as if he owes you. WTF?

I'm waiting for the announcement more than anybody else on this board, and if I can wait, so can everybody else. Let's just all have some patience, shall we?

Quickly as you can, snatch the pebble from my hand. When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to know.

Ohhhh...I get it...the connection is... NEVERMIND!

My guess here is a Seattle show...to be announced shortly.

Well said!

Yeah, what would you do if you were in his place? You'd just do the same. We all know how those contacts are... My guess is Courtney Love is gonna sing Ana Matronic's vocals in Jetstream at some American date...

I propose that this thread be hijacked at once.

STAND AND DELIVER!

well, no, most folks would wait til they had the info before posting and wasting the time of over 2000 views... cause you walk into the forum and you see BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW and you see it was posted last week, and so you figure, "cool, let me check out what this big news is!"

and then you read through three full pages to find out there IS NO ANNOUNCEMENT.

An idea for the future: Post news when you get it and can reveal it.... i mean, why couldn't you wait a day???

Not a hard thing to do. A bit like being able to last in bed longer than 2 minutes.... patience is a virtue...

(but hey, it sure helps get the post count up to post non-existing news!)

:)

i'm buying tix for the Chemicals show here in Seattle just in case.

chemicals are always worth it anyway! what do you think of their latest effort???

Just give me one more post (one more post) 'Cause it will be quite good (it will be quite good) It will appeal to most (appeal to most) Though wait of course I should.....

But when you hear the news (hear the news) You'll cream your pants with glee (cream your pants with glee) Something you can't refuse (can't refuse) And it's all for free.....

sorry, that Japanese Babelfish is really shit!

Sir John Mills is dead (97).

Dear, dear Johnny.

In honour of the man's life, OldMonkey will now reveal his nugget to us all.

Over to you, Monkey!

His nugget of information, I mean.

oldmonkey, you are cracking me up!!! nicely handled and nice tune....

(and, eh, maybe you could slip us the news in japanese, that way you could post it here without getting in any trouble?)

:)

The news is NOT that New Order are playing Seattle, because they aren't. Repeat they are NOT PLAYING SEATTLE.

It had nothing to do with anywhere they might or might not be playing.

Aren't New Order in LA that night?!

indeed they are. i had to look at the date of the Chems show again. i knew there was a reason i didn't buy tix before. luckily i didn't go through with the tickets cuz i've just found out its an All Ages show. YIKES!

Something to do with the Experience Music Project in Seattle. A feature exhibit. A New Order Artifact Showcase. The Saville Show.

nothing at the EMP is free. it's soon to become one of Seattle's greatest failures. but hey, did you see our cool new Library?

I'll trade you the Rock Hall for the EMP, and throw in Browns Stadium gratis.

oldmonkey...you have certainly received my attention. I keep returning to this thread to see if you have revealed the secret.

How about another hint?

OK, now I'm devastated; it was beginning to look like I might get to see New Order in this lifetime after all. Ah well, at least I can exhale now.

I kind of enjoyed the anticipation ... like trying to guess what's in a wrapped Christmas present.

Even if it was just socks and underwear, I had fun.

Does the change in the title of this thread mean the announcement isn't going to happen at all or that we should all shut up and you'll tell us when you're ready to tell us?

Well, I'm staying shut up just in case

The most boring thread in history

Apart from if Digital are announcing a gig @ Belper Nailers ;)

Thank God! I can breathe much easier now, knowing that there is no announcement tomorrow. No need to have my hopes dashed.

Blue, it may not be as simple as you think. It is now past midnight in the UK, which means that today is Monday. No announcement tommorrow therefore means that the news will not be being announced on TUESDAY on this side of the Atlantic. Over where you are, tomorrow is still Monday, so you will not be getting the news earlier than we won't.

Perhaps we should give Monkey a call for clarification. Anyone got his number?

I feel quite relieved, however, knowing that we all won't be receiving such breathtaking news tomorrow, together.

I think the hint is that it doesn't concern you and I but just the individual members of Digital (bravo!) and possibly the members of the moderators forum ... us, and the general hoi polloi, shouldn't be concerned with such matters of enormity.

Oh my God, what is he up to now? :(

I turn my back for one minute.........

Please forgive him. He knows not what he does.

What is he up to? Nothing. Jarvo's assumption was not correct.

(we waited 8 years for an album - we can wait a few days for this)

But no I haven't, at no stage have I ever said that it was New Order related. The original post was, somewhat tongue in cheek, that there I would be making "a major announcement tomorrow", and several people have decided for themselves that this was a new New Order gig (like it would be me announcing this.....).

On the Moderator's Forum, when pressed by one of the Moderators, I gave a reply of sorts that not only omitted a lot of crucial detail that was still to be clarified, like the extent of involvement, but also led everyone up the wrong path. That was for those eyes only, and at least I know who to trust now!

The bottom line is that no, Digital won't be playing Seattle, and nor will New Order. Never at any stage did I say either we were or they were!

As soon as I get confirmation of what will be happening (and no, all you american assholes who keep e-mailing me and nagging to be told the answer, you know who you are, it does not concern New Order), it will be posted.

In retrospect: a) it should have been posted in the off-topic section b) it should never have been posted c) I should never bother posting anything. The aggro I have had from one prick in particular just ain't worth the hassle.

as much as oldmonkey can get on my nerves, it is posts like this that make me HAVE to like him...

it takes class to openly admit goofs straightup like that...

nice handled sir. and congrats with your band...

(now i am just pissed off cause I can't use this thread anymore to justify despising oldmonkey... p.s no i am not the 'prick' oldmonkey notes above, tho i could have been!)

damn... I will have to find someone else now to upset me... perhaps back to al j.... )
