A decision based on New Order?

I kept away from online forums until this lovely site. I also decided to meet a fellow nooler.

i only started buying hifi equipment, so that i could get the most out of my new order records.

Every year I make a point of going to the Bury beer festival because it is always held in the Derby Hall which was one of the last JD gigs and the one where Ian could barely perform and it ended in a riot.

most of my holiday plans every year revolve around where they're playing

Another decision - April 8th do i go see

The Indie 30's (great cover band in Bolton area doing Pistols, Jam, etc.) or Re:order?

I made my decision within 5 minutes. I'll be watching... begins with R...

This one is actually JD-related. I was in England and was supposed to stay long-term, but I was deciding whether to go back to the States early (long story), and "Something Must Break" was really speaking to me. I ended up going back early, and in retrospect, having realised that I'd made a huge mistake, the line "Looked in the mirror, saw I was wrong/ If I could get back to where I belong, where I belong" kept running through my head. I should have made a JD-based decision here...but I didn't.

Also, I used to have long hair and had been thinking about getting it cut short. I was watching a NO video and someone in it had short hair, and I thought, You know, a change would really be nice! It wasn't the main reason I ended up cutting it short, but it was a factor!

DITTO!!!! got my big sis the Substance back in '87 for Xmas...I was 15....I stole it a few months later and she has replaced it a few times since then

so as the baby brother she introduced me to New Order and Madonna (for good or ill-I dunno)

Moving to Manchester was largely influenced by New Order & Joy Division, sounds a bit lame but I wanted to live in a place that had such great music attached.

Not lame at all, they're a major part of why I want to move there myself. Being from the US, though, it's easier said than done, heh.
