Date: January 18th, 2026 11:09 AM Author: territorial federal university temptation is possibly the first "real" new order song. everything up to them sounded like joy division, down to peter/barney aping ian's vocals. (i love that stuff, but the band hadn't come into its own yet.)
temptation is an amazing song. it's kind of insane to think that the band that came up with blue monday just a few years ago was writing basically three-chord moody punk rock music. |

Date: January 17th, 2026 5:29 PM Author: territorial federal university it's because they're 180 as fuck and influenced every band worth a shit in the 80s. and joy division also shaped post-punk.
music tastes are subjective, but i'm comfortable saying you probably have bad taste if you think new order sucks. |

Date: January 17th, 2026 6:20 PM Author: territorial federal university my cutoff for NO is technique. some of the stuff on republic is cool but they just lost something around then imo.
if you haven't read Peter Hook's books, i HIGHLY recommend. he is absolutely fucking hilarious and a really good writer. he has that mancunian dry wit, which i think is 180. he's also catty as shit and talks all kinds of shit about barney.
his joy division book is great, i've read that twice. same with the hacienda book. i've read his new order book 3-4 times. it's hard to put down. i'll pick it back up every couple years and read it again. it's great.
it's hard to overstate how influential these guys were to music. huge pussy hounds and cokeheads/drunks too, which is hilarious. you'd think they were gay or sat around reading poetry all the time. |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:02 AM Author: Disgusting home 180 180 just ordered his hacienda and inside new order book ty
was too young to make it to hacienda but would often go to the dry bar that NO owned for some friends shows and Summer would be about.
Their imprint on Manchester is insane I'd say more influential than Oasis (HAC/the first bar in the northern quarter).

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:07 AM Author: territorial federal university 180, you're a manc? i had a car service once in ft myers, florida. my driver was a brit and i could immediately tell he had a northern accent and it sounded like manchester to me. he confirmed and i started autistically talking to him about new order, the smiths, the fall, etc.
i can definitely see that JD/NO shaped manchester. i mean, look at the house music thing. they basically started that after they went to ibiza and spent like $2m to record two songs (but discovered dance music). |

peter hook writes about this in the NO book, but his last few shows with NO, he wrote on his bass amp (over the course of several shows)
ONE DAY
TWO BOYS
FROM SALFORD
BECAME FRIENDS AND STARTED A BAND
WHAT HAPPENED
or something like that, and he says nobody noticed.
it's a real shame that they had the fallout they did, although imo all bands have a shelf life and they'd outlived theirs by quite a bit (kinda like the stones). but it's really unfortunate to see these two guys who captured lightning in a bottle two separate times and had a massive influence on music be unable to be in the same room with each other.
i've also seen NO a couple times, both without hooky, and it just doesn't seem like it's the same at all. the push-pull between him and barney (retaining the rock element vs going all electric) is really one of the things that made their music so great |

agree post hooky it was never the saem - Crystal on the Get Ready album was beyond sublime though.
looking forward to reading both books - nice one. |

Date: January 28th, 2026 8:24 PM Author: spaceporns big night on the town ((zurich is stained)) 190. you may have read this here before, but i will poast it in case you didn't. in nov 2016, i went to see peter hook and the light. they were playing both substance records in dc.
i was standing at the back of the venue drunk off my ass, and toward the end of the set, this chick (kinda cute) kept looking at me, and she came over and said ARE YOU HERE FOR JOY DIVISION OR NEW ORDER? at the time i was a masisve JD fan and casual NO fan (this has since changed, i love NO way more now), and i said "eh...joy division? i like em both tho" and she kept kinda chatting me up.
when the show ended she said "hey wait a sec until people leave" and i was like ok whatever. then the lights came on and she asked me if i wanted to meet hooky because she worked for a store called Politics and Prose and was a publicist of some kind. i said sure why not. she was with 2-3 other people and she brought us into the dressing room. after about 10 mins, he walked in, no shirt on, took one look at us and said "right. fuck no," and walked out lmao.
then we left to a restaurnt across the street and it was obvious she was flirting with me. i was kinda weirded out and said i was going to piss but got in an uber and disappeared.
and it turns out this chick lives a mile from me and our kids were in preschool together. we noticed each other a week or two later and were like ehhh and never spoke of it. i actually just saw her husband saturday at our kids' basketball game. |

thank god i didn't bc that would have been awkward as fuck lol.
when we were still in the venue, she said to one of her guy friends "I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M SO DRAWN TO THIS GUY. WHAT IS IT HEHE?" and he said "well, he's very handsome, you clearly want to kiss him." and i was like :| |

I really, really liked the Get Ready album they put out in 2001 and the Here To Stay single they put out in 2002.
My controversial opinion for this thread is that Primitive Notion is a T5 song of theirs. |
