New Order on cover of Mojo

He's not in the band now so he's not on the cover...mind you, the Mojo magazine has a Hooky interview in there though.

Picked up the Mag in McJ Books on Prince Street in SoHo NYC today. Great photos and story, plus a really great story about Bowie and Iggy in Berlin.

I'd already read the scanned version but picked up the physical magazine anyways....a nice keepsake.

The cover of Leave Me Alone is one of NME's tracks you must hear this week on their website

It would be, they are published by the same people.

I'm flying to Ireland in 9 days so think I'll pick this up on my way for the airport, hotel etc.

And the snippet of the Lonesome Tonight cover I heard sounds amazing too so the CD will get a spin when I get home. It even makes up for the unusualness of LT, Blue Monday etc being on a PCR tribute album (yes yes I know they're on the Factory remaster but still)

actually more gutted that i missed the previous month's issue of MOJO whic had a big feature on This Mortal Coil:(

Picked up the issue in San Francisco, California today. The shop is Juicy News and it's at the corner of Fillmore (as in The ...) and Jackson. They had a large stack and each had the CD.

I was flipping through some of the Pitchfork Top 10 Albums of 2011 and picked up this line from Destroyer's "Kaputt":

You are pestle and mortarYour first love's New Order (Blue Eyes)

On further exploration there's definitely some NO influence in his output. Big fan I'd suspect.

:\pimp3:

one of the songs on destroyer has new order guitars all over it almost verbatim from ceremony

Tom Chapman (who played bass onstage with Bad Lieutenant.

Cheers cobber. Thanks for making the effort. Good article. Interesting observation about the True Faith lyrics. Made me listen immediately.

If you skip tracks 2&3 it's a good CD.

I've just moved to Kingston Ontario. Anyone know of a good local newsagency that sells music mags like this? Haven't come across one yet. Found the local indie record store but nothing of that kind there. No New Order section either :(

So after reading the article.

• We can still expect a new Other two record
• hook says the Lost sirens sounds very lush which is a good thing
• We can definately expect a new record by New order from the remaining NO members

I came away from reading it thinking that...

• there's an unfinished Other Two album
• there's an unfinished Bad Lieutenant album
• there's an unfinished Barney solo album
• Lost Sirens will get released
• New Order Now new material hasn't begun

I'll take the first four please

Gillian was getting more involved in the bl sessions as well according to the bass player, so Stephen,Gillian and Bernard working on something that could turn into a no release with some tweaking. Key thing is that Bernard seems to be writing a lot.

Although considering four of Bad Lieutenant's live line-up are now in New Order and all that I'm guessing the answer is an obvious "yes". Jake Evans is getting on with his solo album anyway.

Rumours of a second Bad Lieutenant album have been going around for the past couple of years now. Depending on who contributed what (Evans) I suppose Bernard will either rework the material as a solo LP (with guests) or try to make it suitable for New Order Ltd to record*.

* - I realise that last notion is horrific to some fans

The thing that most struck me from the whole feature was that Hooky's tone was the most conciliatory in anything I've seen attributed to him for a long time. I think that takes a fair degree of humility, and suggests a period of calmer reflection than perhaps he's allowed himself (or been allowed) in some of the other quotes / interviews. Whether it leads to anything or not we could all speculate on, but I just thought it was encouraging that the olive branch seemed to be there. Or maybe I'm misreading it. Anyway, the Other Three come across as fairly relaxed, as they did at the Troxy gig, which is all good.

What I took from the interview was this:

Barney likes to be in control Hooky likes to be in control

New Order without Hooky means Barney can call all the shots. None of the others are going to be strong enough to disagree with Barney. I also take the view that Barney believes he has better musicians in the band now, maybe Barney never rated Hooky as a bass player?

It's not 100% new order and I won't view the band as new order as they used to be, and if there is new material I imagine it won't sound classic new order either, maybe some of the songs Barney was writing for his solo album and the BL album will indeed find their way into a new New Order album......... As to what it will sound like, am guessing BL meets Electronic meets The Other Two.......... So Republic then!

Why do you think Bernard never rated Hooky as a bass player?

There's a time difference between Rome and GB. We're three weeks behind. Anyway I finally got to hear the CD today and I blinkin' love it. Age of Consent, 586 and Blue Monday stand out, but I enjoy the whole thing. And like herpes, I can't get it out of my system.

"I'd never detract from Peter Hook's bass guitar," Sumner says. "What he played was fantastic. But he was impossible for us to work with. He decided to leave the band. We didn't throw him out. We couldn't just ditch 30 years of heritage. So Tom Chapman learned the (bass) parts."

Really good read that. Backs up what I got from the mojo article. Some fans won't like his directness re: hooky but I like it, this Barney means business, this new order means business and I truly believe they are "here to stay"....... See what I did there? ;)
