Round and round single I bought for 5 quid from a second hand record shop
woolworths tag dates it to the 18th of April 1989,my dad would’ve only been 3 at the time 😭 but what a lucky find I found it in the 7” uncategorised N section of missing records in Glasgow!Also got a Morrissey cd and happy Mondays ’Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches’ cd
Coming as a massive Joy Division fan I have never been able to truly get into New Order but this album is the first one that has spoke to me. It has the emotion I was looking for and this bittersweet feeling. Really appreciate it.

Can't imagine it's a nice thing to be called given the woman's reaction.
New wave / synthpop collection
I've been collecting CDs since 2022, and this is what I have so far. My favorite band is Depeche Mode! I hope you like it
(btw, I won the radiohead CD in a giveaway)

I discovered “True Faith” through a true Crime Documentary
I discovered New Order and “True Faith” through the documentary about the Serial Killer Luka Magnotta, and I just wanted to say how much I love the song itself. It’s crazy how something sooo dark can be related with such an emotional and beautiful track. I’ve been listening to some of their songs since then and I really like their vibe, though “True Faith” always brings that case to my mind.

From Mojo Magazine - July 2026
I’m not trying to take the piss, plenty of people here know that I truly love Joy Division and New Order. But sometimes, I just imagine Ian Curtis dancing to "Fine Time" at a 1989-style warehouse party. We all know he loved Kraftwerk and loved to dance, and his former bandmates have said the band’s sound would have evolved into New Order even if Ian had stayed. With his legendary dance moves and his well-above-average height, Ian would’ve been a total sensation at any electronic music party. In that sense, he’d probably be a bit like a mix of Leeroy from The Prodigy and Bez from Happy Mondays. I hope his soul is doing well and dancing happily, bro.
archival effort
hi. i’ve been collecting a wealth of jdno-related media (magazines, posters, slides, you name it) for around four years. a lot of it is rare and now posted in high quality. recently i’ve started posting it on tumblr under the blog name ninth-configuration: https://www.tumblr.com/ninth-configuration
i do not mind reposts. they’re not my articles or photos. but i would appreciate a link back to the blog if you post them somewhere so that more people can see them.
there is a good amount i haven’t posted yet, and things i still need to take care of (articles/posters that are too big for my scanner) but hopefully what’s on there now is of some interest! i try to post at least once a week.
eventually i plan to make a website that will be more accessible to people who don’t use tumblr, but i’d rather not use x, instagram would kill the quality, you get it.
