"Oddest" place you saw a mention of JD or NO

you're friggin mad

Baylor University, Waco, Texas USA. This is a Christian school. While walking across campus, 1986, I noticed that every fooking square was covered with "bible study" and "prayer meeting" times and locations. No suprise. Then I see "leave me alone" followed by "ultraviolence" and the rest of the tracks from PC&Ls. Someone at that school was into NO. I just smiled and then we smoked a left handed cigarette by the bear, their mascot.

Hello magazine (el Tone interview last year).

The oddest place to have seen them was surely Reading University 1987. It was the student annual Rag Ball, part of the audience were in ball gowns/tuxedos, part were in baggy shorts and good haircuts.

Beverly Hills 9034455755889orwhatever

On one of the first episodes (I'm talking 1990 or 1991 here!) one of the guys is wearing a NO shirt. Can't tell wich one, mind! Duh, I know... but it made me watch the damn thing for weeks, until I realized how lame it was!

I remember that as well, it was a kid that was supposed to be "into music", he went on to become the school DJ before my friends stopped watching it. It was an awful moment, my mates were teasing me for months, "you said it was a great alternative band and look it's on Beverly Hills"...disgusting. I could never understand why NO were connected to the teenage film/ series culture in the US.

that would be david silver, played by the extraordinarily talented brian austin green. his character became a methhead when he realized he could not study and maintain his nighttime college radio show at the same time. fortunately he recovered and married the lollipop-head donna (tori spelling) in the last season.

not that i watched the show for 8 years or anything.

weirdest place i've ever seen a new order reference was last year in the 'young adult' (i.e. teen) section of burdine's department store. they played the BLT video, and followed it up with 'she bangs the drums.' very, very NOT teen america circa 2002.

At a soundcheck for an OMD/Thompson Twins concert in San Bernardino (wow there's bernard in there :) The singer/bassplayer for OMD started playing and singing transmission during the soundcheck....I almost fell over!

Oddest place..well on a cover of their early singles!:D

Just watching Seinfeld, when his "woman friend" asks him "what movie are you gonna watch", and he answers "means to an end". Then he asks back, and she answers "Blame it on the Rain" (Milli Vanilli?).

The strangest place I've seen JD and NO be mentioned is in my own posts, which rarely happens

True dat, as the kids like to say :D

I had a dream last night in which the face of a parasitic twin on the back of someone's head was singing 'Sooner Than You Think' and could see the present after death due to having drank two drops of blood, although the parasitic twin shared the same esophagus as the host person. Now if that weren't the weirdest damn place I've seen New Order pop up, I just don't know.

well ive spotted jd in particular quite a few times whilst playing online games,unreal tournament and c n g generals in particular but ive spotted others too. theres a guy on there calls himself "JoY dIvIsIoN"unreal tournament, and another "JD warsaw" c&c generals,"shes lost control"unreal tournament and "new order" counter strike. not odd maybe but that when they chose the names they did theyd have never guessed that people would be nicking em for their online tags. i think its quite cool myself

University of Iowa main library study room on the periodicals level. Circa 1982 someone wrote the lyrics to LWTUA on the wall of a study carol. This was how I first heard of JD/NO.

then the summer of 1983 when my friends returned my ghetto blaster (boom box) with a tape still inside. On the tape was a recording of The Beach recorded off KUNI radio program "Progression." DJ Bob Dorr of Bobby's Blue Band was gratious enough to mention the title and artist of the track after the song. My first aureal experience of NO.
