Kamar

What time is that in GMT (or CET)?

mike just told me what it was, i had no idea when he said it :P

forgot to mention that you can chat during the show at www.retroforwardradio.com find the link that leads you to the chatroom.

a few noolers and RFR dj's show up every monday to this chat.

You will have to learn the famous Mancunian sense of humour guys ;)

Haha you had me worried there with that Cure remark Kamar

Itunes session... Will that be the new age substitute to the Peel sessions?

Did I hear correctly? Age of consent, Lonesome Tonight and Everythings gone green to be dusted off?

interview spoiler ahead if your waiting for nool to put up the un-edited version

for those that missed it...

Dawn does backing vocals on WFTSC and someone like you for euorpean leg, age of consent, lonseome tonight, egg hooky's been playing hurt, worried he might have arthiritis in his bass playing picking finger stone roses re-uniting his mom was the first to notice the cure sounding like Peter, and thats one of the reasons he gets annoyed with the cure he recieved nool trbute cds and liked it, likes wacky stuff, suggested a best of and rest of... wants to book re:order at his 50th bday party doesnt know who taught barney how to dance, wonders what he's doing, but he's ok with it, ok with whoops, doesnt like the whistling someone stole 6 of his cds in san fran. recorded an itunes session in cali.

and to whoever was in the chatroom and said this sucks (the interview.) fuck off. you try sitting there across from one of your hero's and try to conduct an interview trying not to ask questions that were asked a million times before. im the first to admit that im not a pro at this stuff, and it could have been better, but the point was to get info. that a lot of noolers asked about or didnt know about.

just wanted to thank the following:)

Rebbecca for setting up day/time with Peter Mike and Nic for helping come up with questions Bentley for editing nool for the support Peter Hook for his time

Thanks again :)

As I said, you will have to learn Mancunian humour.....

Hey Kamar, I wasn't able to tune in last night so I look forward to listening when it gets posted. Some people just never have anything good to say. It's the same as people complaining about this and that to do with the concerts. I'm yet to experience a society that keeps everyone happy. On this note, a concert is going to last a specific/non specific amount of time. A band will play "x" amount of songs. Why not be happy and enjoy what you hear??? They cannot play everything just to encompass each individuals tastes. Why do we carry on as if they should? Individuality and expression of opinions is great - but lets try and be somewhat realistic???

i want to know what you mean by that. what did we miss here? ;)

The Roses reunion has to be a joke. There's as much chance of that as there is of Ian singing in tune live...

Kamar - Lee was saying it sucks because he couldn't connect to the stream, I don't think he was slamming the interview.

oops, im sorry. didnt know he was talking about that. i apologize for assuming. its bad to assume cause it stands for making an ass of u amd me or something like that. sorry again, lee.

Thanks Kamar for the interview...Itunes has been revealed, They recorded some songs at Apple studio the day after Kimmel TV show. They also did an interview, Well we should get many things through Itunes hopefully soon. Hooky hands has been bothering him for also all the various show, I was talking to him about it and how obvious he looked bother about it. Beginning of the show in SFO he was looking so pissed and very distant.

when he was talking about it, he was staring at his hand and kinda fidgeting with it. I hope its nothing serious. I really didnt know what to say, so i suggested glucosamen chondriten :/ I hope its ok. It just shows how great he is on stage, he's having problems with his hand, and yet steals the show with his bass playing skills.

tim's putting it into text? thats awesome! Thanks! i cant believe someone has the patience for that ;)

Very good job with the interview! YOu did ask very non-cliche questions and did an interview that a "true fan" of the group would do. My only criticism would be that Hooky talked way too much of his DJing experiences, but that is because I would have loved to have heard more about New Order.

Next time you interview him, you should ask him about his side-projects, "Monaco" and "Revenge"...

Great interview! I didn't understand a few parts.

What did Hooky say about Barney going to the hospital after the Chicago show? What did he get poisoned with? I didn't understand...if someone could explain, that would be great.

I liked how Hooky hinted at returning for another possible tour when they promote their next album. That gives us "neworder geeks" hope for the future!

Well done, mate!

I think you need to understand Quebecoise humour as well ;)

Seeing as I can't hear 95% of what Kamar was saying, even through Cool Edit, I will have to have a good play with it before I will be able to transcribe it, and that won't be tonight!

I will say this much - this is an excellent interview, one of the best I've heard in a very long time. Hooky is clearly enjoying himself, he's relaxed and happy to be there. Some good questions as well, precisely the sort of things that people on here have been asking. I've done a few interviews with bands myself, and I know how easy it is to get a bit tongue-tied and star-struck, and how easy it is to forget to ask the questions you intended to and suchlike, which is why I am so impressed with this one. Great work Kamar !

it was pernod overdose/poisoning

fucking canadians and mancunians and their goddamn humo"u"r that most of us do not understand.

• For the European tour they will add to the set list Age Of Consent, Lonesome Tonight and Everything´s Gone Green

There was also one other song that he couldn't remember the title of.

Spotnick wrote: So facts collected by Almanso:

• the CDs de Community Received and they seemed good to him. in general it likes the most funny versions and suggested to us to make a Rest Of with the covers that are non on it

He added that he'd enjoyed ATR's Homage CD (featuring Jim Reilly, Liv, Major, me and various other NOOL people {Martian!!}), and that he liked the Portuguese and Swedish NO cover CDs. He also said that there was a band called Re: Order who sounded like the way New Order sounded from 1983-86 "a bit shaky, a bit shit" - he joked that he would hire them for his 50th birthday, along with a string quartet called Litmus who have covered the band.
