The other way round!!

Originally posted by Muffy In view of the utterly shit news that Simple Minds are to cover Love Will Tear Us Apart, just who do we, the assembled throng, think worthy of a license to cover Joy Division/New Order? And what track would they be licensed to do?:

So what song, if any, by any other group would the Assembled Throng like to hear played by NO?

I think maybe something like Always Crashing In the Same Car, by Bowie; Heroin or Sweet Jane, by the VU; The Passenger by iggy; Burning Down the House, by Talking Heads; or (just perhaps) Roadrunner by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers

Ah, my 84th post, I'm so happy!

Since it sounds very New Order already, what about Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence ?

That's a good one as well! I always thought Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze sounded similar to Barney, why not Tempted?

or Barbarism begins at home

Am I just paranoid, or are some making ironic postings about one message months ago, that mentioned that some of "60mph" had some T.Rex-feeling in it.

O.K. - I'll take it back - the words in that message was written after hearing it once. I was wrong and I'm not a reviewer or anything.

"60 mph" is perfect N.O. and is not like anything else. O.K.?

or even "It's Grim Up North" by the JAMMs.

I think you're getting paranoid indeed, Frode. Can't see any relation here...

Fine! (Good, for a second I thought I was being hacked by someone here.)

Or a bit New Order-obsessive on the net. hehe

Even made a thread called "Manchester United - Buy" ( of course not here, btw someone know, I suppose), to support N.O and music from the Manchester area. Quite excessive, but as Yello says: "You can't say no to another excess!" :-)

Make the headline the most accepted subject, to support the less accepted. :-) Don't know if it was a success, though - think some was getting a bit annoyed.

A summary: Something you do, when you can't trust people enough to make conversations, I'll guess. Some postings were communicative and some were meaningless, I'll guess.

Something like making a headline like "Midnight Oil" to support a band called "The Triffids" or "The Go-Betweens"
