Will there be any more New Order records? "I doubt it very much".

The tight bastard:(
listened on the web. pretty decent interview i guess. wished for more info about the new project. thought Maconie's way of asking about the "status" of new order was good. Sad really to hear those great songs and know they won't get aired live again, but hey, I thought that in 1994 when I was really getting into the band at the ripe old age of 16 and look what happened. Not that I expect a great reversal like we had in 1998 -- no Gretton to get that done, and something tells me Andy is not about to make it happen.
Anyways, nice to hear Barney. Nice to hear the re-mastered tracks on crappy internet feed.
I'm off to watch the season premiere of Chuck tonight. Cheers all!!

Indeed, but we're Engerlish, so it'd be Bad Lef-tenant, no?
"I doubt it very much"
Ah well, no great surprise there, though I totally buy into the magic of The Secret, wishes coming true through positive thinking and all that... :D
It's like your parents getting divorced when you're grown- even though you want them back together, you just want them to be happy and take advantage of double birthdays and Christmas parties. Hopefully they'll both play sometime this summer, that'd be good enough for me!
BTW- an official hello to everyone; been lurking around but finally got over my crippling shyness.:)
Seems Gillian doesn't share Steve's love of tanks 
Quite amused by their kids ringing in to see if the cat needs feeding!

Apparently so, according to that website... :)
Be quick, they'll sell like hot cakes!

Reminiscent of Hookys girlfriend pretending to be Marlene of Moston and ringing a Picadilly phone in to see if they wanted backing singers (1986)

Welcome.
How tall are you?

Indeedamundo. But if we are playing really silly buggers about it...
There is no doubting that 'Bad Neil Tennant' has a sore ring to it...
But that would give false hope to Electronic diehards,not to mention,plain crazy to all but the most fervent cottaging industrialists...

Not very, I'm afraid. It's all in the right place though. And for the record, I didn't steal Barney's picture from the Low Life Disc.
Listening to Barney now. iPlayer is loads better now that you can rewind and fast forward, innit.
I approve these changes 
Guys, get to the point. What really did Barnee, Steve and der Hook say about the new project and about New Order's possible further releases.
BS said it was very unlikely that we'll ever hear anything new from NO. He said him and his friend (a bottle of white wine) were working on lyrics for his new stuff. He wasn't sure whether it would come out at Bad Loo-tennant (which I will always associate with Neil Tennant in a lavvy thanks to BRF), Barney Sumner or another band name that I can't remember.

The Unknown... :)
But damn good summary that - that'll save anybody else from having to listen to it! :)
Barney actually sounded very nervous?
Steve (and Gillian) talked mostly about where records were recorded and when (i.e. LowLife began in Japan, etc), bringing in stories involving Rob Gretton, etc. They weren't asked anything about what they're currently doing, apart from a response about The Other Two (never say never, although he could have been joking)!
He sounded most ill-at-ease after listening to a track, he seemed genuinely surprised at how good it sounded and talked about how he never listens to albums once they've been released.
It occurred to me that it must be shit to be Barney Sumner. No matter how good the lyrics, the guitars, the drums of the programming, the New Order sound will always be primarily defined by the sound of Hooky's bass.
The best work he could possibly produce without Hooky will never stand up to anything New Order did. It was true of Electronic and it will be true of Bad Neiltennant.
I wonder whether he feels this loss when him and his mate are writing words for new stuff, or whether he's daft enough to think that his share of the sum of those parts can be divided into anything that means much to anyone.

Tish and pish.
Can't say I'll ever agree but it's all personal taste ditto for Hooky; a selection of tracks from Revenge and Monaco will always piss over certain New Order tracks.
It's all subjective... no need to get so absolute about it all
