Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana foi preenchida de boas propostas musicais, na sua maioria constam da minha lista pessoal das 40 músicas que mais curti em 2011. As duas entradas que merecem um destaque adicional foram a remistura de "Crystal" dos New Order por John Creamer & Stephane K e o tema que

Já parecia um clima de ressaca. Depois de três grandes festivais, o Rock In Rio , o Planeta Terra e o SWU , teria o público paciência, pernas e, principalmente, grana pra mais uma empreitada de porte? Aparentemente, sim; aparentemente, não. Explico. O Ultra Music Festival é uma experiência de música eletrônica (e "alternativa", como prega seu próprio discurso): é um grande festival, mas não exatamente pro mesmo público dos eventos anteriores. Ou, por outra, a intersecção de público seria quase nula, não fosse por Soulwax , New Order e [...]

Por Eric Olsen Gran parte de las personas presentes ese primero de diciembre en Obras, podrían afirmar que el tiempo se detuvo. Y es que los quince segundos que pasaron entre que la iluminación del escenario se apaciguó en un azul oscuro, hasta que New Order finalmente puso pie en escena, fueron literalmente eternos. Sobre un fondo burbujeante, los teclados de Elegia marcaban sombríamente el regreso de la banda al país desde hace cinco años en el Club Ciudad, en un desprolijo pero energético recital bajo el marco [...]

Ever since I stumbled across a copy of Kick by White Rose Movement in a bargain basement somewhere in Soho, like the hipster [insert expletive] I am (I'm even wearing chinos today, although I think the fact they are from Primark makes it OK), I have loved the post-punk electro sound.

Beat London's Summer Camp likes them some make-believe, that much is clear. Their first appearance on the musical radar was in the guise of a Swedish septet with a taste for vintage photographs who'd met at a Summer retreat - hence their name. It didn't take too long for them to be outed as the English duo of Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey, which may have disappointed fans of elaborate back stories but should have done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of those who like enthusiastic boy-girl indie-pop. Not that [...]

Giving a nod to one of their collective influences, Philly goth-punk trio and recent Key Studio Sessions featured band Psychic Teens just released a cover in honor of the 30th anniversary of New Order's debut Movement ; they took an admirable stab at the album's opening track, "Dreams Never End." Grab their version below - the cover is avaiable as a free download through Dec. 3. D.N.E. by Psychic Teens

Tras sus recientes presentaciones fugaces sin Peter Hook, el bajista original, el grupo regresa con un nuevo disco...a medias, ya que se trata de material que no había sido publicado y que resultara de las sesiones de grabación de 'Waiting for the Sirens', su trabajo anterior grabado hace 5 años. De las canciones que se dejaron fuera en esa época, se logró formar este nuevo disco con música inédita que saldrá a la venta el próximo 12 de diciembre. En cuanto a su contenido, el grupo comentó que se trata de "una mezcla de electrónica y guitarras como sólo New [...]

We've hit the jackpot, guys. Yes, there was a time when the internet didn't exist and people actually read music rags that came with mixtapes. Paste use to come with cd's and NME had mixtapes when cassettes ruled the earth. We thank the powers that be that a slew of mixtapes have been made available for download with their accompanying art. There's some true gems to be had and a monumental time suck (in a good way). Please proceed with caution because you won't be able to peruse for only a couple of minutes. Head [...]
Bob Seger : Blue Monday (Fats Domino cover) [ purchase ] New Order : Blue Monday [ purchase ] Mondays really have a bad reputation and that plays out in musical titles. Of the many songs I know about Monday, not a single one is uplifting. There's Stormy Monday, Monday Morning Blues, Manic Monday, Rainy Days and Mondays , and of course I Don't Like Mondays . So I guess it's no surprise [...]

O New Order lançará um EP chamado Lost Sirens , que terá músicas que não entraram no último álbum da banda, o Waiting For The Sirens' Call , de 2005. Segundo o ex-baixista Peter Hook , o EP viria para traçar uma linha na separação da banda e fazer um "encerramento" de sua passagem nela. "Seria bom, ao meu ponto de vista, se livrar dessas faixas da maneira mais agradável possível, que finalmente bote uma linha sob o rompimento do New Order em 2006. Parece que o rompimento não [...]

A tan sólo semanas de su presentación en el estadio Obras , los ingleses de New Order acaban de anunciar que editarán un compilado con las canciones que quedaron fuera de su último disco. La colección, titulada Lost Sirens , verá la luz en diciembre a través de Rhino Records . Lost Sirens cuenta con ocho canciones, entre las cuales podremos encontrar Hellbent , uno de los [...]

New Order is a permanent? stalemate with Peter Hook, but that's not stopping them from releasing newish music. Fans can look for "Lost Sirens," a B-sides album from the remnants of their last album, "Waiting for the Sirens to Call." Rhino will be releasing the eight track next month in time for Christmas. Thanks for the heads up Slicing Up Eyeballs . New Order - Hellbent (Previously Unreleased) by Rhino UK Tracklisting 1. [...]

Frank Yang It's a little bit of bragging when I point out that our blogger posse had Lykke Li close out the second day of our Hot Freaks! party at SXSW 2008 before her star became ascendant. But the fact is that it was almost entirely Gorilla Vs Bear's doing, with most of the rest of us having no idea who Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson was at the time. And not too many did, as only a modest number of people came out to Club DeVille to see play that [...]

This December, New Order will release Lost Sirens , a compilation of outtakes from the group's 2005 recording sessions that led to their last release, Waiting for the Siren's Call . While there's been no official announcement from the band, the set has turned up in various online outlets, namely overseas retailers like RecordShopPX.com and Japanese versions of Amazon.com and HMV , as Slicing Up Eyeballs points out. Judging from the tracklist, available below, seven of the eight tracks are unreleased. The one previously released track is "Hellbent" , [...]

Alguien combinó su gusto por los gatos y el rock, y a través de la cuenta de tumblr "The Kitten Covers" se dio a la tarea de sustituir a famosos iconos del rock y el pop de las portadas de sus respectivos discos, para ilustrarlas con gatos. Sí, gatos... Acá una muestra de las que hay que reconocer, algunos casos se ven bastante creativos, te gusten o no los felinos. The Cure New Order [...]
Pensa que a temporada de festivais no Brasil em 2011 terminou com o SWU? Se enganou! Ainda esse ano, dia 3 de Dezembro, rola o Ultra Music Festival , que já acontece há 12 anos em Miami e agora desembarca no país com nomes como New Order e o Death From Above 1979 , além de MSTRKRFT , 2manydjs , Soulwax , Major Lazer , Duck Sauce , Mixhell e mais um monte de gente boa! O evento está sendo produzido pela XYZ Live [...]

New Order reunited recently to help raise money for friend and video-producer Michael Shamberg, as he fights a debilitating illness. Well, some of New Order reunited. Bassist Peter Hook was sadly absent from the festivities. Not every band's bassist is integral to its sound. Some bass players are, in fact, totally replaceable. However, Peter Hook is not one of them. Almost every New Order song has a distinct bassline and melodic lead composed by Peter Hook. His style is one of the building blocks that we associate with the post-punk sound. It's no secret that in-fighting amidst New [...]
