For the last month I've had a song in my head, on and off, and I couldn't think for the life of me what it was. Then, on this lazy Sunday afternoon, it suddenly occurs to me to look up New Order on Spotify, and lo and behold what happens. Turns out the song was True Faith.
It's used a lot in films about the Yuppie side of the 80s, such as American Psycho and Bright Lights, Big City, as well as every 'I Love the 80s' clip show on Yuppies. You know the ones, constantly showing blokes in red suspenders swigging Dom Perignon at the Stock Exchange.
A new book on Factory Records and the exploits of 80s impresario Tony Wilson is out now at HMV, so I'm re-listening to the Mancunian post punkers. Looks to be a good book on an important subject- the last decade in which we were world renowned for our pop.
