This time, University Challenge Second Round, Liverpool vs Southampton

Music round, three tracks from a now-defunct record label.

The Southampton captain eventually guessed Factory records after hearing the first verse of True Faith. Here's the link for British viewers:

They didn't get the subsequent ones right for Def Jam or 4AD. For shame! I knew both of those (and I guessed SyCo correctly too). Not often I can say that about University Challenge questions. It's on 14 mins for anyone else inclined to watch.

Of all the JD/NO related shirts I've owned over the years, I've always tried to avoid this one due to how popular it's become. Not that I dislike the fact that more people are sporting JD's legacy out in public, but the fact that it's gotten to where other bands and marketing companies have been created parodies of it bothers me a bit. Plus the image on the original LP wasn't nearly as huge. The smaller size in relation to the rest of the LP cover made for very stark and minimal piece of art. 99% of the shirts I see people wearing have it totally super-sized.

Someone at "Team New Order" is now better at new order spotting than us forumites.

Driving down the road listening to cd mix of WFTSC, and LS, and dracula' s castle finishing as a truck with license plate 'crafty' passes me as Krafty begins. And later at the gym a guy took his shirt off a few minutes after I had just heard Avalanche. On his back was the word ' faith'.

Mark Reeders' B Movie: Lust & Sound In Berlin has had a couple of brief mentions on the forum previously. However it seems the film has only just had it's UK premiere. A bit weird considering you can already buy it on Amazon. And there's an expensive book too. I may have to spring £13 for the DVD.

Instrumental piece from "Restless" being played under continuity links on BBC1 recently. I guess the New Order fan in the BBC (whoever he or she is) is still very much an influence on the selection of these little musical interludes.

In kind of a reverse spotting - I was playing Music Complete at my cafe and a new employee asked me if this was New Order. He knew it was Bernard but didn't recognize the song. I told him about the album, etc. Turns out he is from Manchester and has been in the States for 6 years. Now we chat about music any time he comes in to work.
