A thousand half-loves: For half way through the week- New Order

I got to see one of my favorite bands of all time this week. New Order. So so happy to have seen these guys live. About 80% of the audience was over 40 and it was so much fun dancing and having a good time with such an energetic crowd. This weeks post is inspired by New Order. Here are a few shots from the show.
1. New Order



2. New Order songs in film
   - Pretty in Pink (Thieves Like Us), American Psycho (True Faith), The History Boys (Blue Monday), Marie Antoinette (Ceremony) and Trainspotting (Temptation).


3. Kirsten Dunst, while we are on the subject of Marie Antoinette here are some incredible photos of the actress that I recently came across.

4. Age of Consent by Arcade Fire

I love love love this New Order song and this is such a beautiful cover of it. Please listen, I know you will like it too.


5. Control
An amazing film about Ian Curtis the talented and complicated singer of Joy Division who at 23 committed suicide. Following his death a new band formed consisting of former Joy Division Guitarist (Bernard Sumner), Bassist (Peter Hook) and drummer (Stephen Morris). This band is New Order.
If you have not seen this film I highly recommend it. Check out the trailer for the film here:
