| | | New Order split up - this time for good?
nme reports: New Order split up - this time for good? | News | NME.COM   New Order split up - this time for good? Peter Hook says the band definitely are no more 18 minutes ago New Order have split up according to bassist Peter Hook.
As previously reported the band denied they were splitting earlier this year despite drummer Stephen Morris being quoted as saying: "We should stop for a while".
Speaking about his involvement in Perry Farrell's Satellie Party, Peter Hook told Xfm that the band have broken up.
He said: "I spoke to Perry, and asked me to play bass, as he'd head about New Order splitting up and he asked me to play bass. Well yeah, me and Bernard ( Sumner) aren't working together."
When asked if the split was permanent, he added: " Bernard went off for a break with Electronic but that was different. But it's like the boy who cried wolf this time."

But if it is the end as Bort said it was a good run. They made a difference. |

He fumes, “I'm pissed about the movie right now because Anton Corbijn seems to be getting too much control. I would have preferred that he showed more respect for us. That's what he should do.
“Anton is too passionate about the movie but I think he should have a wider view. At the beginning he would say, 'Come everyone to help,' but now he closed the doors and sent everyone to piss off!
"We're supposed to (do the soundtrack) but the problem is that he's telling us what to do. If we don't tell him how to direct, why is he telling us how to make music? Bernard (Sumner) and Stephen (Morris) seem to be OK about it but it bothers me a lot."  |

| | | I always remember Ian's suicide anniversary because it is also my father's birthday. Convenient.
Did I ever tell the story about the time I bought a second hand 12" of The Perfect Kiss and got home and it had a record by the fucking FAT BOYS in it? I was distressed. I listened to the Fat Boys record.

New Order has split up, bassist Peter Hook claims
But it's news to his bandmates and publicist: 'This is probably just Hooky messing about. Everyone knows what he's like'

Peter Hook, New Order's legendary bassist, has set the hearts of the band's many fans fluttering by claiming the band have split up. The only problem is that he doesn't seem to have told his record label or bandmates.
In a message posted on his MySpace page, Hook claims - almost in passing - to be "relieved" that the news is out, but the alleged break-up was immediately denied by the band's press officer.
In his message entitled "Life Goes On", Hook writes (typos his): "Well here we go again another action packed week. I suppose it was the interview with Clint Boon [on Manchester's XFM] that started it all off. He'd asked me for a few words on perry farrells satellite party single dogstar (which he thought was great) so i went on and lo and behold mentioned the N>O> split so i suppose because it was me sayin it it was out at last. im relieved really hated carryin on as normal with an awful secret so le | |
