Any idea which car? I quite like seeing ads withe bands music used in them.

Sorry, just read this. No I don't. What did Eddie Cockrun do at the orgy? Come on everybody. What did Paul McCartney do at the orgy? Come on people. What did One Direction do at the orgy? Fuck all. They're shit. What's the point in finding a cure for Alzheimer's? By the time you finish explaining, dick'll've forgotten anyway.

Just heard 'Digital' playing on the TV in the other room.

Looks like it was featured on 'Holby City'. Although I got there a bit late to identify the context of why they were playing it, it looked like a member of the medical team was listening to it on her iPod etc.

Well I guess this is nostalgia. If you think summer 1990 is worthy as a landmark moment in music and culture then it's...30 years since then. Imagine if you were a teenager in 1985 reading an article about 30 years ago. 1955 would seem very quaint. Maybe 1990 does to today's teenagers... Anyway a mention for World In Motion, the Hacienda, the Mondays, No Alla Violenza T Shirts, and some memories from NO's Gillian G. Along with Primal Scream, Heller & Farley, Paul Oakenfold, The Beloved and more.

Read this earlier today. A good little article.

1990 was a great year for me. It seemed that that period of my life was soundtracked by New Order, especially that World Cup Summer.

This was also the period when I first started to go to Manchester. Great memories of visiting Affleck's Palace to buy records, posters and t-shirts, hanging out in the Dry bar and the Haçienda (sadly only once for the latter).

Oh, and not forgetting 'The Record Peddler' on Swan Street for all my Factory needs (I still regularly dream about that shop, weirdly).

Manchester seemed like the coolest place on Earth in 1990. Which, of course, it was.

Well, this is a bit odd and a trifle annoying.

New Order have decided to officially remaster the video to 'True Faith'. However, it now appears that the drums aren't in sync with the slapping.

Surely it's not meant to be like that, is it?

Here's the clip that they've used to promote it:

And this is what that clip links through to:

Hopefully they fix it.

Watche the new HD upgrade of TF vid the other day.Yep, i too thought the face slapping was a little out of sync with the beat.Bit annoying.but i did find quite good how some of the images were a lot sharper with things like the sign language woman's face, particularly her eyes.I also found they've done the same treatment to WIM which i think neg1 posted somewhere some time back.And also upgrade treatment to BLT.Cab't see much difference in picture quality but did note they've changed the music slightly on the intro.On the original vid it starts with the drumbeat to the 12" Pettibone before quickly going into the regular 7" Pettibone.In the new video upgrade its starts off the first second or two like the original music vid but then changes much quicker into the bass sequencer intro from the Pettibone 7".The opening beat of the Pettibone 12" used on the original vid has been edited out.

Yeah, wish they'd not done that. This was the video that launched my fandom. I saw it on MTV one afternoon, went and bought the cassette of Brotherhood the next day.

I notice they've also removed Rob Gretton's cameo at the end.

I honestly don't know why they bothered with these. Yes, they look nicer but surely the point of remastering them is to just update the quality, but keep the videos basically intact. With these two videos they've altered video and audio elements with BLT and altered the timing with True Faith.

I haven't fully checked the World In Motion one, but there does appear to be some audio variations straight after the first chorus (maybe that's just a remastering element though).

Unsurprisingly, Blue Monday on BBC doc Manctopia the other night.Programme about all the million pound + apartments now in Manchester city centre in high rise skyscrapers.£8,000 a month rent, anyone? Single mum with 2 kids evicted from her rented house as the rent was put up. What a horrible nasty place it seems now, eurghh ugh.Yuk.Think i'd have preferred the dark satanic mills and smoke.Still, happy ending for the single mum with 2 kids who found another place to live in the end that she was happy with so it wasn't all doom and gloom and bastard property developers.

Kind of New Order spotting.Heard about this book Mayflies by Andrew O'Hagan which is story about a group of teenage friends travelling from Glasgow to Manchester in summer 1986 to attend the Festival Of The 10th Summer which of course NO played at (did they headline or was it The Smiths? Can't recall now but possibly NO headlined).Sounded right up my street as i'm exact same generation 80s.Ordered a copy.

Synopsis: "Everyone has a Tully Dawson: the friend who defines your life.In the summer of 1986, in a small Scottish town, James and Tully ignite a brilliant friendship based on music, films and the rebel spirit. With school over and the locked world of their fathers before them, they rush towards the climax of their youth: a magical weekend in Manchester, the epicentre of everything that inspires them in working-class Britain. There, against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded, a vow is made: to go at life differently. Thirty years on, half a life away, the phone rings. Tully has news.Mayflies is a memorial to youth's euphorias and to everyday tragedy. A tender goodbye to an old union, it discovers the joy and the costs of love"

Received the book and ripped through it in a couple of days.Pretty good read and if the ending doesn't get you, you've got no soul.The chapter when the gang attend the Festival Of The 10th Summer details some of the festival and quite a bit about The Smiths' appearance and i was thinking, hmm.. what's he going to write about New Order's set?...then the chapter ends! The next chapter starts with them outside a chip shop talking about what they'd witnessed and experienced in the G-Mex that afternoon and evening and the only line about NO is about how "New Order ruled the cosmos" .Ah well, at least NO were the best band that night for them. A few other JD/NO mentions elsewhere in the book also.

A good read.Kind of Stand By Me for those of the 80s generation.

Line Of Best Fit interview with Doves about their new album, the band mention Rob Gretton offering the use of Cheetham Hill studio (i guess in late 90s) after NO got sick of using it.Interestingly, Doves say they found a cassette of Thieves Like Us in a back room of the studio and it had a few different lyrics by Barney on it.Also mention of a song they found with Hooky singing on which i presume wasn't Dreams Never End or Doubts Even Here.

"Recording and releasing the Cedar EP in 1998Jez: New Order got sick of using their studio in a place called Cheetham Hill, it was rough and they weren’t interested in going there anymore. So Rob said, ‘Why don’t you have it for a bit? and we were ‘Cool, we’ll have our own place.’Jimi: Plus, we were all bang into New Order, so we were pretty thrilled that we got the chance to work in their space.Jez: One of the first things we did was go to the backroom where all of their old stuff was and we rifled through it. We came across a cassette of “Thieves Like Us” with Bernard dropping different lyrics in.Jimi: There were loads of floppy discs, I think we came across a tape of Hooky singing on a track. Finding Emulators and seeing some of their old equipment in the garage was amazing.Andy: Stephen Morris’s Joy Division drumkit was there.Jez: That place was a godsend. Even though it was rough and it didn’t have any windows, that was a good thing round there, because you could just lock the door and get into a bunker-style mentality. It wasn’t like it was a shithole, it was relatively pleasant. It had carpet, a separate control room, a working toilet.Jimi: It had a little kitchenette and skylights. I remember the scallies used to try and get in via the skylights.Jez: They did, there were scallies on the roof.Andy: Didn’t they block the skylights?Jez: They had to block the skylights off because they tried to smash through them!"

There was also a TF94 vid that just linked snippets together. The silly part was the start cos there were too many beats so the slapping started late.

I highly recommend HBO's I'll Be Gone In The Dark, a limited docu-series about the Golden State Killer. It was all down to the work of Patton Oswalt's late wife Michelle McNamara, who was a true crime writer.

In the first episode they play a big chunk of Ceremony, from a time when Patton was on the radio in Los Angeles. He comes out of the track announcing "That was Ceremony by New Order" before going on to interview his wife.

Not too many duffers in that list. From Pixies to Chaka Khan 👍. A number of those tunes/artists feature on a triple CD I picked up in Sainsbury's for a fiver today: "The Edge Of The 80s".(Sony/UMC)*. Yeah I realise I could just hit the Spotify playlist embedded in that article but I still like to buy physical stuff and stick it on the stereo every so often. (No JD/NO on my comp tho).

*The September 2020 comp, not the 2008 one of the same name which has both JD and NO on it

Ok, not really NO/JD spotting, but am I the only one who thought of JD regularly whilst watching The Mandalorian? Surely the answer to the question at 5.38 is: Atrocity Exhibition.

☝️Why doesn't this embed? I used to be the king of this! Click https://youtu.be/WlxuSILjRl0 [Edit: Fixed].

(BTW if, like me you don't subscribe to Disney+ but want to watch The Mandalorian, you can do so on any Android device. Feel free to ask me if you need more details)
