I hadn't read it before. To be honest, a lot of what was said regarding Hooky wasn't news to me, and I'm pleased that (again) she didn't use this interview to be particularly critical of him. She just used it as a platform to defend her contribution (and bloody right too!). What I took away from the article most was what a remarkable human being she is. She put in the long hours and helped define the band both musically and (as Johnny Marr so rightly stated recently) their image. Then, in later life, she's had to put up with criticism from a fellow bandmate (not to mention a few fans). All this, whilst having to fight Cancer, having a child with a significant illness / disability (), and having to leave behind something in her life that was (presumably) massively important to her. She's a class act. For sure. () No easy feat. Take it from me. :-) Edited by user 02 December 2020 08:33:43(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Though the scenes where the woman is surrounded by ghostly sheeted figures reminds of a nightmare I had as a kid, ghostly figures in sheets surrounding my bed. Woah. The "official explanation..." The music video follows a young couple trapped in a state of purgatory, the woman informing her former lover that she has met someone else. The synths begin to swell he lays in a bed looking off in despair, the woman sitting a desk anxious to get out. She shoots him with an arrow, the video depicting his sense of heartbreak at their ending relationship. A disc slips out of his chest as the track continues its enthusiastic synths, the two soon dancing in colorful hues. Sort of got lost with the last sentence.

I quite liked some of the imagery, especially the ‘emotions’ written on the floor, like gaping chasms. It kind of reminded me of the ‘Restless’ video. Both of them are the same sort of ‘playful bollocks’, as I like to call things like this. Fun, but frivolous.

It's the single edit, but with a thunderclap overlaid at the start with the music slightly lower and reverberated during the sound effect. Probably done during the production of the video for (who knows) "dramatic" effect. Not a different edit or mix of the song, just a common trick some video directors add at the start or end of videos.

EDIT: Looks like tomorrows package of mixes will be subtitled [Remixes pt1] suggesting more mixes to follow. I've heard about 5 mins of the Maceo Plex (!) remix. It certainly kicks more ass than the original. Although Bernard's vocal is perhaps a bit too high and bright in the mix - at least until the vox drop out for quite long periods. I thought it was Neil Tennant for a moment! Alas Maceo can't resist a nod to Blue Monday (the Kraftwerk bit). This has been done by other NO remixers in the past. Maybe NO need to issue an edict to remixers: No more nods to BM. Maceo has enough ideas of his own, he doesn't need to do this. But overall it's still worth a listen. Oh also the "Be A Rebel" line is backwards. How very Dave Clarke! Edited by user 15 December 2020 14:18:33(UTC) \| Reason: Maceo plex comments added.

I think we're getting: Bernard's outlaw mix. Not the most exciting. Paul Woolford Mix. Starts ok and then gets better. Manages to remind me of both PSB and Dead Or Alive (percussion/claps). Maceo Plex mix As described in my post above.

As mentioned, one samples Blue Monday, the other has a bit of Bizarre Love Triangle 12" intro in there. Always takes me out of the mix/track when bits of other songs crop up. The Bernard Outlaw win is virtually identital to the digital Renegade mix, just with the piano riff from the original single mix added to the chorus and the odd whizzy sound effect. More of an alternate take than a different mix, so bit of a pointless release. So now I make it we have six different versions of Bernard's Remix! Hoping for better mixes in part two!

Wanking contest. I came first hands down by a long shot, beating off some stiff competition. I think I jerked off to Gillian once, but in those days I'd grab anything with my free hand. Not the best session, partly cos she has the charisma of a mongoose, mainly cos I was scared the pause function would go off just before me and I'd splatter Hooky's beard. I haven't listened to Mucous Complete for a while. The last thing I heard was of course Be A Rebel and the last thing I bought was probably MILF. Great to hear them finally digging out some gems instead of the usual formula. Can't be arsed with all the other live CDs, but as I said before, you don't have to buy anything, what with YouTube and crud like International. Last wankend I saw One of Hooky's live albums and honestly, what's the point? The Light are a great night out but why shell out for carbon copies with shit vocals? Interesting too that the Jiz Coldman collaboration namechecks JD and not NO, whose music was, according to Hooky, far stronger. Have fun.

It feels like a classic New Order 12". And I'm not fussed by the little snare-skip or reverse orchestra hit lifted from Bizarre Love Triangle...because at least it's not Blue Monday. I'm actually surprised they've never done a Bizarre Love Triangle ['year] 12", but they'd be hard pressed to improve on Richard X's mix from 2005.
