So I don't have that strong feelings about them selling out, it's sad though that the selling out is only going to finance their legal troubles! "Unknown Pleasures" condoms, though... I think you may have a future in marketing!! ;) Been going through your posts, I don't know anything about the origins of the feud, but it seems like a situation in which everyone loses - all the band members and their fans. That sucks. Huh, I honestly was never much of a Joy Division/New Order fan - I just always liked that cover.

The fact that Ian Curtis' edge of oblivion lyrics and music could inspire athletic wear of all things is quite surreal to me. What's next, an "Unknown Pleasures" brand of condoms? With the current troubles facing New Order (infighting between Peter Hook and the rest of the band) you are likely to hear more New Order material liscensed out commercially to pay for their legal bills... *sigh* If you are interested by the way I have done a few posts recently on these topics. Thanks for your posting - I didn't realise untl now that the shoes never made it past a prototype. Strangely enough, there would have been a niche market for them - I used to wear the t-shirt constantly, so the geek factor is definitely there!
