Jeff Richardson's information on the New Order is correct. I believe that the fanzine "Trouser Press" published a fairly lengthly article on Joy Division and New Order about six months ago. Speaking of Trouser Press, to those of you who are interested in all manifestations of rock, with an emphasis on new wave, I highly recommend this magazine, published monthly in New York. It is nominally a new wave magazine, but the editors have fairly wide-ranging taste and carry lots of good articles on (respectable) old-wavers. Of particular note are their "autodiscographies", which consist of an artist reviewing his/her/their recorded work in a historical context, with all sorts of juicy information about who did what when and why. Within the last couple of years Ian Hunter, Blondie, Genesis, Pete Shelley, and the Stranglers have all been featured in this manner. Trouser Press seems to be widely available - but I am quite willing to supply subscription information to anyone who is interested. With regard to the New Order inquiry, back issues are available through the magazine. Finally, speaking of Ian Hunter, are there any other Hunter/Mott the Hoople fanatics out there, with any good anecdotes to tell (by mail)? Allthough the quality of his work has sliped the last couple of years, I am convinced that he probably can still walk on water when he wants to.

Trouser press is pretty good, but they have not been very color-blind in
their taste in music (well, they are getting better). The writing is
not the best, either, but the writers are probably the most
well-informed in America as far as `new music' goes.
