You make my Dad look cool - How does it feel?

New Order

"I feel so extraordinary.. Somethings got a hold on me..." New Order you beauties. I do have a small/LARGE amount of jealousy for you though, the amount of times I've stuck out my bottom lip and said "But IIIII wanted to be in the 80's" is too many times. Blue Monday is of course my favourite, if I HAD to get up on the kareoke this would be one of the songs I'd say Oh Go on then too, not like i've sung it into a bottle of wine dancing round my room or anything - just sayin'....if I'm asked I'll get up, I am prepared.

To sound all robotic on you "New Order combine new wave and electronic dance, they are one of the most critically acclaimed and highly influential band of the 1980s". They make my Dad look cool when he gets up to dance to them.

If you're not sure who I'm rattling on about yet then you might not know the band but will definitely know the opening drum beat? Remember it? Yep thought so.

By the late 80's they were hugely influenced by the sounds of Ibiza and the acid house tunes, (just like my life then?) making their way into the Mediterranean. Their original guitar-bass-drum music was updated and revamped in you like to fit the "Scene" - good thinking Batman and is now in keeping with the sort of stuff us Young Ones like now!

So if you're going to listen to their album, then do what I do... get on your hi-tops and headscarfs, a cheap bottle of Rose and convince yourself you're "With the band"............ has entertained me on many a single night in with no place to go (Rare obviously, got to say that to keep up my rep..jokes jokes. my huge rep is safe)
