I'm pretty sure they've recorded a cover version of "Better luck next time" from Heaven 17s "Penthouse and Pavements". Dirk
how about a new remake of "State of the Nation 2003/Shame of the Nations" 12" with new Iraqi-flavoured lyrics and Moby adding whiny falsetto backing vocals to the classic original Shame chorus vocals???
***ducks for cover***

Ahh for the Saddam Hussain reference on Flicker, very good Nicos! 
Good to see the band contributing to the Peace effort though

Benny thats inspired!
The articles here btw:

And here's a snippet:
"THE Daily Mirror is joining the charity War Child to produce an album of peace songs to raise funds for children in Iraq.
The record, called Hope, will feature stars including David Bowie, George Michael and New Order.
Many have written songs specially for it. Others will cover classic peace songs.
Yusuf Islam - formerly singer-songwriter Cat Stevens - has recorded his first song in English in 30 years.
Major record label WEA will produce and distribute the album, which will be in the shops next month, without taking a profit."
Sounds good!
l8rs,
Nick ;)
Cover or song written FOR it?
What does this mean? this will actually contain a NEW song?
Doesn't sound like our lazy bunch, I'd be surprised.
Meh. If I liked my bands political, I'd be a U2 fan.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with helping Iraqi children. I just don't like entertainers who feel the need to speak out on either side of any issue. Just shut up and sing/act/whatever.
Originally posted by Spotnick Never tought i'd see George Michael and New Order in the same sentence... :D
Actually, didn't Micheal once say his favourite album was Closer?
....and didn't Barney once talk about going to the 'Heaven' nightclub witn Neil Tennant and George Michael after litening to some stuff.

Well said, I agree!
bands without opinions are boring..
why do they have so much political/religious references in their songs anyways?
if they just liked the names of the words 'joy division' and 'new order', without knowing where they came from or what they meant...it wouldn't be as significant as it is now..
later
