ya know, i haven't seen this many pissed off fans since the Montréal Canadians stopped winning the Stanley Cup.
if isn't releases coming out on various formats, or re-releases of vinyl singles, or postponing of a single, or... all of these are standard obstacles in the music industry. yet people here feel the need to complain about them. so what if warner puts new order on a 'b' or 'c' priority. as long as we get the music somehow and see them on tour sometimes. so what if they get a grammy nomination for a song that doesnt have a commercial release! i dunno, maybe i aint as obsessed with the band as some people here are, for i like the mystery and the long gaps in between albums. ease up and enjoy the music while they are still putting stuff out! and to think some people are blaming Warner for all the gripe... with such a long history and such a prolific act, i am sure new order have some say in how their music is released, 'if' it's released. for all the completists out there... i used to be one. certain things in my life just forced to partake of the paradigm of 'take what i can get'. with a band like new order, maybe it's the way it's supposed to be. maybe that's how they want it. and thats fine with me.
ahem.
