I mentioned previously that YSF featured in the 2019 film adaptation of The Goldfinch.
I guess this is old news, but tihs week I discovered the track in another film; 2008's Bronson starring Tom Hardy. Around 35 minutes into the film, as Hardy/Bronson is preparing to leave jail* we get a sort of montage featurng the instrumental sections of YSF edited together for about a minute and a half. It even made the Soundtrack album.
*most of the film involves Hardy/Bronson either going into jail, coming out of jail, or getting up to things in and out of jail.

Yes i saw that film some years ago and remember YSF featuring. From what i recall, i'm not sure i was fully convinced the music fitted or was apt for the scene. Nice try but...dunno, maybe the song is too hardwired to my brain to associate it with a film scene about a hardened criminal. Of course, to anyone previously unaware of the song it may have worked brilliantly with the scene.
in the rebooted show 'quantum leap', there was an episode with blue monday playing.

Lol- it didn't have today's song in its database. Everyone loses!
Yet another indicator of just how iconic Blue Monday has become: NYPost.com
I have a friend that's not really that into music (so we can never be that close). I made her a mix CD of New Order just to try to convey my obsession to her (she grew up on Linkin Park and Smashing Pumpkins, etc). I asked her what she thought and her response was "I'm addicted to the drums on Blue Monday". This says to me that track possesses the power to affect people that aren't even music fans.
Spotted this on YouTube:
Interview with Sheila Rock, music photographer, in which she name checks the band and tells a story.
Warning: the interviewee doesn't really draw breath and, to put it politely, is 'in the zone' when it comes to occupying the conversation.
So, start watching at 23:52 to get to the good stuff.
There might be a bit more about New Order earlier in the interview - the interviewer pointedly refers to the band as if something negative might've been said about them before. However, after watching the first five minutes of the interview I was put off listening to the whole thing and scrubbed to the relevant bit.
From what I heard, she has photographed some great artists and has led the life. So I'm sure there's more interesting bits in the interview.

I've heard of rock photographer Mick Rock (RIP) but was unaware of Sheila Rock. I guess if you're a photographer with the surname Rock, you're obliged to be a rock photographer!

For me it was more her langorous, long-pause style that stood out. Like someone needed to pep her up with speed or coke or something.
So the interviewers appear to be music journos, David Hepworth and Mark Ellen both formerly of the revamped 1980s "Whistle Test" (no Old Grey). I was looking at the Wikipedia page for Whistle Test and was less than thrilled to read that "the series was cancelled in early 1987 by Janet Street-Porter, who had been appointed head of Youth Programmes at the BBC". Thanks Janet, you gobby cow. I didn't like you much as a presenter, and don't think much of your 'decision' either. What did she replace it with? Anything?

Did you watch to the end? The last thing she says at 28:43 (not NO related) seems to leave both men speechless. Mark Ellen jumps in with "different times" whilst Hepworth seems to be moving his mouth but unable to get any words out! They quickly end the interview after that.
She says she told them to go back to Manchester, but clealry she did manage to get a couple of pictures, and they look quite familiar. So perhaps not a total waste of time.

Sad, obsessive fan that I am, I search for the band on YouTube every few days and sort to show recent uploads. On occasion, I find something interesting, like a foreign interview etc. Sadly though, it’s mostly just badly filmed camera-phone snippets from recent gigs.

I hadn’t noticed that. Eek. :-(
An advert almost as depressing as the Qatar world cup will probably be.
Orchestral version of LWTUA. I don't think it's the "String Quartet tribute to..." from 2003, but I could be wrong.
^ I saw that advert earlier today and thought the music was vaguely an orchestral LWTUA but wasn't certain. What, so the love of football and the World Cup will tear friends and families apart?
Mixmag have decided to re-up an article from 2018 where they turned your "favourite" album artwork into football shirts (-world cup, natch). Kid A, Dubnobasswithmyheadman and PCL all look pretty decent. I really like the back of the PCL effort. Qwest records on the front though? Hmm, a Factory logo was crying out for that spot!
Your film is set in the 1980's? Which circa 1983 New Order track will you turn to for setting the mood? Not the one you expect: Bones and All review
The 20 best singles released on Factory Records

^ God yeah, 30 years since Factory went bust. I remember learning of the news through a very brief mention by Terry Christian on The Word, Channel 4 one Friday evening and thinking is that it? Just a brief mention? Good to see Section 25 ' Looking From A Hilltop' in that list but Marcel King ' Reach For Love' should have been in.And where is Cath Carroll ' Moves Like You' ?

“And at #17 we have a track that beat the likes of Ceremony, Temptation, The Perfect Kiss, Bizarre Love Triangle and plenty others, yes it’s the unforgettable genius of Pineapple Face!”
Why didn’t they just call it “A 20 Single Selection From Factory Records” and be done with it.

Because that isn't click-bait enough.
Agreed that Reach For Love should have been high on the list, at the expense of Northside, The Wendys, or The Railway Children.
20 years since one of the most exciting DJ mix albums of all time dropped. Sound on.

I Told You So on ITV's coverage pre kick off Morrocco v Spain just now. Random choice but it sounded actually quite cool.

That’s pretty cool. Thanks for the link, A.
Weird how the Procession article mentions another coffee company called ‘Ceremony Coffee’.

Oh the guitar-y bit? I think I heard it during the half time break of the Argentina - Croatia game last night.

Yes, that bit and yes, again last night.
Another fan working in the BBC?
It’s like the 80s all over again.
Good stuff (although I’ll give both series a miss).
