Date: January 18th, 2026 11:09 AM Author: I am Jeffrey Pretti ((zurich is stained)) 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: charismatic idea he suggested 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: charismatic idea he suggested 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. |

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: I am Jeffrey Pretti ((zurich is stained)) 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 18th, 2026 7:02 PM Author: I am Jeffrey Pretti ((zurich is stained)) awesome, let me know what you think. imo all three are great, but the new order book is just beyond. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823110&forum_id=2#49599518) |

Date: January 18th, 2026 11:13 AM Author: I am Jeffrey Pretti ((zurich is stained)) confusion is a 180 song, btw. i said above that temptation was the first "real" new order song, but confusion was a very important one too. they wrote it in new york after hanging out at danceteria and listening to a lot of early hip hop and working with this weird white man arthur baker who worked with rappers and stuff.

New order refused to do top of the pops unless they could play live. The show finally relented due to how big Blue Monday got. And it sounded like shit, which makes it 190 |
