At the LCD Soundsystem show in Minneapolis tonight they covered Your Silent Face as the lead in to Losing My Edge. Went well with my Substance t-shirt I wore! Nice Yaz, Kraftwerk and Daft Punk homages as well. Awesome to have them drop references to some of their inspirations!
Some of you may remember this great website from back in the day. It's a fan site but the most comprehensive, detailed and complete collection and archive about all things New Order, Joy Divison and also about the side projects and stuff.
Apparently the owner stopped working on it after the band split in 2006 but it's always been quite an interesting website, despite the heavily outdated design. A short while ago I received some dubious mail along the lines of "account recovery something something". But it wasn't a scam and instead allowed me to continue using my old account on new order online.
Anyway, it's a great website and you guys should check it out right away. The photo galleries are a true gold mine as you can tell by this hilarious photo of Bernard and Johnny
Been a week and it’s only Monday. Time for a little New Order - Blue Monday. Cheers! I’ve loved this band since 1985.
There’s plenty of good EDM and all the rest, but NO had it down!
Hey Hooky, we met after your last Boston show, thanks for being a great lad. I will be at the Boston show and am asking from the bottom of my heart for you to play Sooner Than You Think. This song hasn’t been performed by NO or The light in ages and it needs a revival. I’ll be at the show with a Sooner than You Think poster. See ya then!!
Age of Consent is the first track on New Order's second album, Power, Corruption and Lies.

Anyone going to this year's shows with just Bernard? I can't really decide what to do. New Order is one of my favourite bands and I've never seen them live but I would have to travel to see the show and I don't know if it's worth it. It's also the closest to where I live they Will ever come so I can't make up my mind. I really wish Steve and Gillian were a part of the tour. Anyways, what's been the quality of the shows recently?
I would love to see Peter Hook too but I don't think he's coming anywhere near me 🫠

Hello all! Just wanted to share a new track with you - I’m Test Card Girl a singer-songwriter based in Manchester and have a new track out to lift the spirits! If you’re a fan of New Order, synths, and … breakups (!) this one’s for you: https://emubands.ffm.to/ifeeltheloveonyou
Thanks so much for listening x
Hello, I'm very new to New Order. I randomly wanted to check them out in the beginning of the month, immediately listened to first three albums. I would say "Power Corruption and Lies" is my absolute favorite these days, but I can't stop listening to Sub-Culture. It has catchy hook, melancholic lyrics and addictive melody. I don't know what it's about, but the song is so good, incredibly amazing.

I’m a huge JD/NO fan, have seen them live and Peter hook multiple times. That being said, I just prefer their more rockish songs way more, songs like love vigilantes, age of consent, regret, etc. I love their regular electronic music just as much, (Subculture, True Faith, All Day long) but I’ve never been able to get into their super dancy club music.
For example all the remixes on this new album, they don’t even sound like the original song. It just sounds like something that would play at a nightclub. And I’ve never been able to listen to technique because it’s just too dancy. Not hating on anyone that like that music, just wondering if I’m alone in this
