My favourite song is "Ceremony" (more precisely, the original 7" version that New Order recorded as a trio) but I'm affected by pretty much any version I hear. So this tribute disc is pretty much made for me.

The group Yes But No are noteworthy for being, I think, 12 years old.

So sorry to see you got ripped off. Everyone knows the limited 13 track edition is the best version although the 13th track is only a minutes worth of silence.

Yes but I prefer the remix where if you listen carefully you can hear the sound of Peter Hook whispering "when is it dinnertime?"

Aw, you're mean. Sure he's a bit of a fatso now, but he's done well to protect and promote Joy Division's legacy.

Aw, you're mean. Sure he's a bit of a fatso now, but he's done well to abuse and pilfer from Joy Division's legacy. Which saves him so much time and effort having to write and record any new material of worth.
Whose mean? ;)

:sad: I admit that I have a blind spot and am more forgiving in this incidence, but I want to believe he's being less mercenary than fatherly towards Ian's and Joy Division's memory. I might also be prejudiced by the fact that, from what I can tell, the New Order fanbase has pretty much excommunicated him, which seems a bit unfair. But I might be a naive child here.

I don't care much for the fanbase attitude to be honest. Peter can do what he likes and I don't really have a take on how much he cares for the legacy. It's all nonsense to me that people somehow think you can harm a legacy just by playing old material with a fresher approach be it by an original band member or a cover artist. Hooky speaks kindly of that Paul Young version which most don't care for but it takes nothing away from the brilliance of the original.

He is so much kinder than I ever could be to that Paul Young cover. Again, I may be uncharacteristically romantic about it, but when I hear Hook and the Light do Joy Division, it sounds like a genuine love for it all. Especially in a way that I never really heard when New Order did JD songs. If I'm reading way too much into it, so be it.
Thanks! I've read both his JD and NO books and enjoyed the rather self-effacing style. This bit jumped out at me: "Ian wasn't a victim of success. He was victim of circumstance." That's the thing that really does gnaw at me. The self-destruction wasn't that rock star over-indulgence cliche, but a poor fucker who was shown his dreams and then was betrayed by his body. I don't understand the ghoulish romanticization of his suicide that some generate. He made his choice, the one he thought made sense, but it's unfair that he was in the situation to make that choice, leaving behind so many people who loved him. There but for the grace of God …
