You know you're a New Order fan when...
Archived164 replies · 8,209 views
You have heated debates about fook all.
you use a false name and pretend to be an oriental hooker
you can't get on with things you really should be doing because your too busy writing crap on here!
- you tattoo yourself with something New Order related
- you spend thousands following them
- you go on holiday with fellow fans
- you do every DJ's head in with requests for New Order
- you threaten to stab a DJ if he doesn't play New Order
- you plan to have a New Order song played at your funeral
when the line you hear most is
"do you ever listen to anything else? put something better on, put the smiths on"
which soon results in much much more NO even louder,
when you spend months and months hunting down particular gigs for one particular version even though its shit - i.e She's Lost Control in Landan
...prefer Peter Saville to Jimmy Saville.
...call your PES football team FC NewOrder, and stick a bright young thing, Sumner, up front.
when you son or daughter(in my case and only 6 years) starts ranting and raving in the car when you try changing "Love will Tear us Apart" to another track...
Oh and she also know all the words.......
Ok it's J.D but you get the gist

I had that with Jizzstream four years ago from my then four-year-old.
When you leave a party in a pissed angry mood because your friends insist listening to other music than your beloved New Order.
... More than half of the music on your MP3 player is NO and JD.
... You dress like the band members.
... You go to a music store you have to look for NO and JD stuff even if you where just there the other day.
you come home from work,and your 14 year old daughter,who is continually telling you "yer taste in music's rubbish"
has got BLT on
When you fantasise about having sex with Gillian Gilbert*
* not me yet, but I can't rule it out
...when you plan a strict curry diet for your heavily pregnant wife so that your newborn arrives before BAD LIEUTENANT tours!
you dye your hair blonde like barney.
you use a sleavcover for your wedding "ceremony"
you use neworder songs in your wedding "ceremony"
hey now what you doing..

Unbeatable
When your daughter (mine is only 3) knwos the lyrics to Ceremony and asks for New Order on the DVD all the time. Also role playing the NO family, she already has a favourite which is Hooky. She call Barny Grandpa Bernard
The Shadow wrote: or when you instantly book tickets to see BL without hearing the album
Or when you book tickets assuming the album will be shite anyway. :(
When you talk like Barney, wear his clothes and haircut and you go to see them live.
Also:
- Have NO ringtones
- Wear NO T-Shirts and badges
- Make everyone everywhere to listen to NO
- Visit NOOL
- Still read about NO although the band is no more and you practically everything
- Put pictures and covert art on walls
- Collect bootlegs
- Use Factory methods of management

You consider watching Shadowplayers on your next date if you haven't already alienated him or her by watching 24 Hour Party People, Control, the Joy Division documentary and New Order Story within a single month.
You manage to include the full versions of Elgia, Prime 586 and the Peter Saville soundtrack onto those "essential New Order listening" mixed CDRs which your friends will never listen to.
-You bought a black sweater with buttons on the shoulder just like Steve's in TPK video
fuck I wish I had one of those...
you get your mum to knit you a batwing jumper loike the one tony wilson wore.
so extraordainairy.
You do a mix tape for your mum and she starts playing along to the songs on her keyboard (i learnt vanishing point that way).
Your mum asks "why is he is singing about another man?" on 1963.
... You ask someone to buy NO items from eBay ,for your birthday that's coming up, now because they may be gone soon.
(In my case...) When you regret being born way too late.(I was born the same year True Faith came out!) When your pics on your desktop wallpaper are NO related. When you bought the Marion album (This World and Body) at a secondhand shop, thinking 'Phil was in this band!' When your ringtones and phone wallpaper are NO related. When you sing New Order when you go to karaoke. When you start collecting a bunch of New Order remixes---but mainly the ones that retain the vocals (no instrumental remixes please!)

you have an unhealthy liking of windmills
Toolbox wrote: I'm sorry, I don't like it.
Something functional like a windmill should be designed to maximise it's functionality. Any aesthetic qualities should accentuate, or at least complement, the basic requirements of the functional specification. I feel that this windmill compromises its functional value in favour of fancy form and is therefore an ornament.
Additionally, it's beautiful legs give me a hard on and you just can't go around fancying windmills

Closest match I've seen around here is a very butch teller at my bank. Classic Barney hair circa 1985. Not sure she's aware of this.
Your main reason for going on myspace at all these days is to read Peter Hook's blogs, even if they're a little cryptic sometimes.

Was that the Refractured Box? I remember being PISSED because not only was the t-shirt XXL and didn't say Joy Division anywhere on it, but all the songs had gaps in them. I put that abomination up on eBay the same day it arrived in the mail, haha.
it ruins ur day if u leave ur I-pod (with all its NO/JD & Electronic songs on it)at home & u can't listen to ur NO tunes whenever u want.
-you dream about being at a NO gig -you get angry when somebody else says that the best band of the world is another one -you thing the party was bad cause the dj didn’t play any NO song, even if you met the hottest chick ever -you always have a NO cd in your car audio -you too often wear t-shirts and badges -you love to collect bootlegs -you get to the pub and the first thing you do is ask for a NO song instead of your fave beer -your girlfriend is fed up with NO -every time you listen to a NO live song , you can say the venue, city and the date of that gig -you don’t care wasting money getting No stuff -early morning you check nool -NO is the band with more plays in your last.fm profile -your tattoo has something to do with New Order -in your dj session you play at least 3 NO songs -you hope your wife will be a NO fan

When you get so excited at a club event when the DJ plays NO/JD related stuff (more so when the DJ is famous...in my case, it wasn't Hooky though).
When you can think of books/films or whatever that you think would match certain NO songs.

Andy Rourke from The Smiths is always popping up in my city DJing, though it still remains a mystery whether or not he actually lives here. In any case, the few times I've seen him he's mixed in New Order and Joy Division into his sets.

In my case, Mani was the one who dropped those tunes..
-You consider buying the 2009 Rhino New Order remaster 5-pack from The Ideal Copy solely for the promotional poster of the band circa Low-Life they throw in.
-You personally request Bizarre Love Triangle at a dance party only to wind up the lone person on the floor dancing to it.
-You're the only person who recognises Blue Monday/The Beach at said dance party when the DJ uses it as the base for a mix set and then are upset the song wasn't played in its entirety.
-You look at half a dozen modern "electro" or "dance-rock" bands your friends introduce you too and scoff they stole their style from New Order.
-Your first thought upon hearing NIN is going on hiatus is to hope that Trent Reznor now has time to do a full-on collaboration with Gillian and Steve.
-You walk into your roommate's electronics workshop and comment that the random piece of scrap metal he's working on looks like it could have been a model for Brotherhood-era Saville artwork.
-When you see 'New Order' on an invoice or receipt, and you wonder if there a Factory catalog number nearby.
Vince Se wrote: -When you see 'New Order' on an invoice or receipt, and you wonder if there a Factory catalog number nearby.
And likewise anytime you see the words "new order" written in philosophy texts, no matter the context, you immediately think of the band.
Bonus points if you use New Order as a case study in an analytical paper...

I still don't have a car. Who needs a car when you've got 2 feet & New Order? Still, I envy people driving by & they're blasting True Faith outta their cars...
er... 51 happens to a number that has followed me since the days of the hacienda, and so..

You spend about 2000 yen (a little over 20 US dollars) for an imported music magazine just for an article/question thing about Bernard Sumner.

When you get pissed off when the majority of covers of "Atmosphere" you see erroneously say "naked to see" rather than "aching to see". Looking at you, Trent Reznor.
Fucking hell! Look at that cake!
...When you cut-up the Low Life t-shirt you worn to death and put Steve's face on the back of your denim jacket (like I did). Actually only one person ever recognised him!
...Hearing NO and JD lyrics going around in your head from the moment you wake up to the moment you hit the hay.
...Leaving instructions in your will that Atmosphere is to be played at your funeral.
...Buying all the records and then graduating onto buying bits of musical kit that either feature NO/JD sounds or were actually owned by someone who is/was a member.
...Using it most days and wondering what songs the former owner used it on.
...Ending a particularly enjoyable live gig by playing Blue Monday which set the dancefloor alight and resulted in people shouting out "New Ordah! New Ordah!" and even "I want some Joy Division next!".
...Working on synth parts and invariably playing the strings from Love Will Tear Us Apart or Atmosphere at some point instead of writing something!
....Incorporating NO string parts into other people's songs.

I do, it's currently the background for my Zune. I think that sleeve was their best photo shoot.
You know when you're a New Order fan when something related to it changes even a little bit of your life and(or) lifestyle The moment that made me say to myself that I was a big fan was when I bought electronic drums similar to the kit Steve used in the majority of the most recent gigs
