Thank you, thank you, thank you for the New Order Baywatch video. I’ve never seen it and it’s fantastic. That album is pretty dire excepting “Regret” which is in my all time top 5 of theirs.

LOL. I think he regrets all that low slung bass stuff now, he has serious spine and shoulder problems.

I've read them all, Barney's is the same.

Apparently Gillian is currently writing hers.

First thing I thought of too. Just inseparable, and I'm not much for nostalgia but it is a shame that young people don't have these Top of the Pops moments.

No idea how it happened, but every New Order anecdote seems to begin 'Tony and Rob had invested our money in <insert doomed business opportunity> so we had to do it'.

I shittalked Brendan Canty's drumming on the old forum a good while back.

Such a stupid take.

I remember that moment. Lots of silent concern and people wondering if you were ok. “Did you hear about bigc?”
