Another new track off the album was played this morning on the radio and it sounds another stonker. It is @ 39 mins in

Also if anyone is interested in the absolute mayhem that seems to exist around New Order then Hooky has upped another entry to his blog. It is quite damning on the others really and for the first time in the whole saga, I do feel a little sorry for him.

Thanks for that, it's an excellent read.

 

It's such a shame it has gotten to where it has. As I mentioned before New Order without Hooky is not New Order in my book. Unfortunately they're now of an age that time won't be able to heal the rift so I fear we will never see them performing as NO together, sadly.

I read a really interesting piece about New Order reforming in The Guardian, funnily enough on the bus on the way to Bestival to see them. It basically said 'the mistake Peter Hook made was thinking the band couldn't survive without him. But this was a band that survived its lead singer hanging himself.'

 

What basically happened was that Hooky decided to announce that the band was splitting live on the radio without consulting the others (this is from Bernard's book). The band was then pretty much dead in the water. But what then happened (from the Guardian article) was that Gillian's dad died, coinciding with it being a time when her (and Stephen's) kids had grown up, so she decided to come back in.

 

So my summary is: Hooky decides to stitch everyone up by walking - but is left with egg on his face when Gillian comes back. Basically, he thought they needed him more than he needed them; but that was subsequently blown out of the water leaving him looking stupid. It's like a relationship where one half dumps the other, and is then bitter when the other half turns around and says 'go on, f@ck off then'.

Well the album seems to be out in the open now and by all accounts it is very good. Of the 5 songs I have heard, 4 of them are top while restless is a bit meh.

 

Here are another 2 if people are interested

 

Unlearn This Hatred is 02:40:00 in on the Lauren Laverne show

Superheated featuring Brandon Flowers. Bubblegum electro pop and this should have been the 1st single in my eyes. Really radio friendly.
