They're at the Coachella this weekend... one of the reasons I wish I could drive the 3 miles and go see them.
Fighting the sweating crowd... not so much.

First time I've heard this tune, and maybe even the band. More musical education a la Bill and RP. Nice song. 2005? It has quite the 80s feel. Reminds me of a slew of bands.  I like it. Mellow, danceable, upbeat, kind of happy but wistful too. One of my kind of tunes.

I find that there's something essentially sweet in the musical arc of New Order. We who live have all grown older. Some kicking and screaming and some with grace. While those who fell, like Ian Curtis, never lived to see their children become smarter and smugger.

Embrace it, the alternative is more grim.

They've gone from fast-living rockers (if they ever were) to menopausal men, and their songs are now preachy rather than edgy. I know, they're a great dance/techno band and the lyrics are often not worth bothering with, but I can't help but listen to them and think: you smug f*ckin' bar steward. Is this just me?

Oh, and the singer is seriously sh1te live - I've seen footage of a couple of open air gigs they've done (Glastonbury once, I think) and yer man's voice was weak and out of tune.

I've now ditched my recent CDs of them and instead enjoy sounds from their zenith, when they had edge and attitude and were innovative.
 



Sounds like you're working through some real personal sh*t with these guys, Fred. No one's gonna criticise you for liking most, but not all of their music. They were truly great once, and they're not anymore. Somehow we'll all have to find the strength to soldier on.

Yes, but unfortunately it appears they have broken up for good....

The photo on the cover really does my heart good. Can just ignore the lyrics and listen to the sound of singing and great instrumentation and pretend I am visiting in Hong Kong with my mother again instead of being here in my current life. Thank you so much. This is like a heartsplint. Love the guitar!
