I think the song is great. A whole album of stuff like this would be amazing!

I agree, I thought that Sumner was a strange choice to promote such gear. Don't think a lot of youngsters out there will be interested in the old guy, or even know who he is (my own kids excluded of course). Anyway, it's provided us with a cracking tune so that's ok.

I don't think a lot of you guys realize just how popular New Order and Joy Division are with a lot of indie kids/art school kids/people in general in their late teens and twenties. They are both well liked and talked about a lot, and any club I go to always plays New Order.

You are right whenever I go to Webster Hall in NYC and in the basement they have an Indie/Electronic floor and whenever they play BLT or Blue Monday the people go crazy and they are young college kids in their 20's, their music still makes people go crazy.

There are some posters up advertising this on Newton Street, Manchester. Barney and a couple of twits plastered onto the wall opposite the Post Office. They are half ripped off - not sure if this is intentional or not.

Yup! That is Friday night TRASH at Webster Hall and they play tons of New Order. I go every Friday (friends of my DJ it).
