Microsoft Zune To Release Joy Division Player

NewOrderOnline.com — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:19:18 GMT

Microsoft is readying a Joy Division edition of its Zune MP3 player to coincide with the June 10 release of an eponymous DVD about the band.

The Joy Division Zune will feature an adaptation of the cover art from the band's 1979 debut, Unknown Pleasures, which artist Peter Saville created using a graph of one hundred pulses from pulsar CP 1919 (apparently the first radio pulsar ever discovered).

So far, no images are available of the Joy Division Zune, so to remind you what the pattern looks like, here's a picture showing how it looks on the underside of a pair of New Balance running shoes.

A Microsoft spokeswoman confirmed via e-mail: "Zune is working with [original Joy Division album cover art designer] Peter Saville on a design for a limited edition device in conjunction with 'Joy Division The Documentary,' and will be announcing further details regarding that design in the near future."

Note: This is not the real look, it's a mock-up the guys at Engadget.com did, sort of wishful thinking.

Miracle Cure: Bernard Sumner collaborates with Blank & Jones

NewOrderOnline.com — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:45:25 GMT

Noting that when the time comes the discreet and legendary German electro-wizards blank+jones release a new single organised in collaboration with Manchester post-punk visionary Bernard Sumner.

The collaboration between blank+jones and Bernard Sumner, of Joy Division, New Order and Electronic, is called Miracle Cure, and it is the first song to be taken from this years very special blank+jones album of beats, treats and collaborations, “The Logic of Pleasure”.
Bernard Sumner is high on the list, if not the highest, of those musicians, writers and singers that have influenced blank+jones fascination with mood, intoxication, romance and rhythm.
The combination of the sure, vibrant blank+jones and the enigmatic, iconic and tender voiced Bernard Sumner is naturally a dream, as Sumner’s fragile yet bouyant melancholia slips beautifully into, and out of, blank and jones’ very own electronic sense of the epic.
The collaboration is the sensational result of electronic communication involving email and MP3 set up during 2007. Sumner wrote and sung his part after completing work with New Order on the soundtrack for Anton Corbijn’s award winning film about Joy Division, Control.
Miracle Cure will appear as the song it is and also as a brilliantly arranged series of energising/lounging uptown, down town and across town mixes from the blank+jones studio, and also from Manchester born Berlin based hypno-trance pioneer Mark Reeder, the currently on fire electro-obsessive Canadian Glenn Morrison, the prolific trancefrenzied German master Martin Roth, the Anglo-German electro-adventurers Onetwo and Scandinavian chilltronica club kings Lulu Rouge.
It says something about the reputation and ability of blank+jones that the discriminating Sumner, a genius of melody, wished to work with blank+jones, and that the collaboration has produced a song that can live with the best of Sumner’s ingenious, smart and infectious pop songs.
More news soon about the ninth blank+jones album “The Logic of Pleasure” and the record’s various enterprising collaborations, including Miracle Cure with Bernard Sumner.

Artwork, all text and bio written/designed by Paul Morley.

The world premiere of the song will be with Pete Tong on BBC Radio One's WMC miami special on March 28th.

Release dates for Miracle Cure Single:

May 30 - Worldwide
June 2 - UK

Release dates for The Logic of Pleasure:

Pumpkins Add Dates, Corgan Sings for Hook's Freebass

NewOrderOnline.com — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:16:45 GMT

Wherefore art thou, Billy Corgan? It's been some six weeks since you and your Smashing Pumpkins last graced our news pages, but here you are again, with plentiful items of interest for your devotees.

First there is the matter of Freebass, the Peter Hook/Andy Rourke/Mani all-bass supergroup. Freebass, as you know, have been recording with a number of different vocalists, including ex-Stone Rose Ian Brown and the Charlatans' Tim Burgess. A BBC 6 Music report yesterday quotes Hook as saying, "We persuaded Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins [to work with us]." Mr. Corgan will, presumably, assist in the vocal capacity, as will Haven frontman Gary Briggs, UK singer Rowetta, and celebrity dope-dealer Howard Marks ("doing a rap," according to Hook). Oh boy!

NewOrderOnlie's 2008 Fund Raiser

NewOrderOnline.com — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 21:53:54 GMT

Hello everybody,

It's that time of the year again, as you might be aware right now, November-December-January-February are low usage months for NOOL, which means those months can not count on Google ads revenues to pay the hosting bills since we didn't meet the minimal requirements for payments.

Hence why each year, we are looking for people willing to help put some money into the NOOL server fund and help pay the bills for those 4 difficult months... usually things will get better around April, but we never know, with lack of New Order information and releases, we might have to scale down the website eventually.

The bills are around 100$ USD per month for NOOL, so you know.

How can you help?

Well, obviously MONEY... so you can help 2 ways.

Direct Donation via PayPal - amount is up to you.

Buy Community 2 - it's worth it.

Thank you once again for your help, I usually put the name of the donators if they want online on the "About Us" page, but that is up to you...

Director of Joy Division biopic ‘Control’ - Anton Corbijn - meet fans at HMV Oxford Street.

NewOrderOnline.com — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 09:41:07 GMT

WHAT: Signing session

WHERE: HMV London, 150 Oxford Street W1

WHEN: Monday 11th February at 6.00 pm

Director of 2007’s biopic ‘Control’ - Anton Corbijn – celebrates the
release of the film on DVD and the book, ‘In Control’, with a signing
session at HMV’s flagship store on Oxford Street in London’s West End
on Monday 11th February.

Anton will be at the store from 6.00 pm to meet fans and sign copies of
the DVD and the book which are released the same day.

'Control', which has been nominated for three BAFTA Awards - including
‘Best British Film’- details the life of the troubled young musician,
Ian Curtis, who forged a new kind of music out of the punk rock scene
of 1970s Britain, and the band Joy Division, which he headed from 1977
to 1980. It also deals with his rocky marriage and extramarital
affairs, as well as his increasingly frequent seizures, which were
thought to contribute to the circumstances leading to his suicide on
the eve of Joy Division's first U.S. tour.

NewOrderOnline.com — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 08:58:07 GMT

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is set to head a supergroup next month in Manchester.

According to The Sun’s Bizarre column, the singer will team up with legend Ian Brown, and Freebass - the band featuring The Smiths' Andy Rourke, New Order’s Peter Hook and Mani from Primal Scream - at Manchester Versus Cancer charity concert.

The event will take place on February 23 at the MEN Arena.

The Freebass collective has been a side project for the three bass masters for several years.

The band have reportedly been recording an album together, calling in vocal favours from singer Tim Burgess and Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie.
