away from the keyboard but so loving these grooves
and YES! NEW ORDER! (reminds, me, i STILL gotta watch that recording of their 1981 show at the Ukrainian Home on Second Avenue -- i was at that show, but had no idea until recently that it had been recorded)

I saw NO at the Felt Forum w/ACR on that tour and you are right. Crowd so hostile to ACR that I think Peter Hook later admonished the audience.

Birthdays are OK, I guess. Beats the alternative.
Older is better.

As Beavis and Butthead said while watching the "Just a Friend" video and Biz is wearing the powdered wig: "I think it's the dude on the dollar."
