what do you want NO's next album to sound like?

Originally posted by His Holiness, The Pope They should move Hooky from playing the bass to playing the electric tuba, make Stephen play a stage full of timpanis each tuned to a single note, give Barney a day off by using Ian Curtis' unused lyrics and send him off for more of whatever they were smoking on 'Fine Time,' stick Gillian in the corner so she can hold Stevie's timpani mallets, sell Phil Cunningham to Depeche Mode, have guest appearances from such noted personalities as Robert Smith and *gasp* Vince Clarke, and work each song into some sort of Kraftwerk cover. Solid gold hit, baby. And throw in some Movement-style production.

Say hello to quadruple platinum baby

No no no no!

Here's what they do: Get Barney on a "model diet" (celery and water, with a saltine if you're lucky), force Hooky to grow out his mullet (or fashion a wig to the specifications of the "Low-life" era version), leave Steve out on the roof with the drums, and get a babysitter for Gillian's kid so she can get out of the house.

Then, recruit P.Diddy, J.Lo, and Jay-Z to come aboard a cruise boat, which will "accidentilly" sink (i.e., fire a torpedo from an old U-boat) in the waters off Easter Island. Hi-jack Justin Timberlake's limo and drive it off the Golden Gate Bridge ('cause, you know, he likes to hang out at the bath houses, so I've heard, in San Francisco). And staple Celine Dion's mouth shut.

When all these events have come to pass, get Steve off the roof, Barney on life support, Gillian in some retro duds, and Hooky off the whiskey, and force them onstage at the MTV Music Video Awards, where they will astound everyone by proving that

1. They're not dead

and 2. They still put out records (every now and then)

When the pieces fall into place, leave Fred Durst stranded in the Library of Congress and have Carson Daly bound and gagged and forced, Clockwork Orange-style, to watch his own "Last Call" show.

How this helps New Order , but it sure sounds cool, right?

hey, this babysitter idea is great!

hey what part of LA are you from?

I used to live in Westwood when I went to UCLA, then around in the Valley, now in West Covina, and I'm originally from San Diego. So all over SoCal. And no New Order fans anywhere, though I've made plenty of converts.

And as far as what i want the next New Order album to sound like, i guess i'm sort of itching for a full-out guitar album. I didn't really like the fact that Get Ready was so guitar-heavy at first, but now I like it that way.
