Peter Hook

Joy Division changed the face of music. Godfathers of alternative rock, they reinvented music in the post-punk era, creating a new sound—dark, hypnotic, and intense—that would influence U2, Morrissey, R.E.M., Radiohead, and numerous others. The story is now legendary: in 1980, on the heels of their groundbreaking debut, Unknown Pleasures, and on the eve of their first U.S. tour, the band was rent asunder by the tragic death of their enigmatic lead singer, Ian Curtis. Yet in the mere three years they were together, Joy Division produced two landmark albums and a handful of singles—including the iconic anthem "Love Will Tear Us Apart"—that continue to have a powerful resonance. Now, for the first time, their story is told by one of their own. In Unknown Pleasures, founding member and bass player Peter Hook recounts how four young men from Manchester and Salisbury, with makeshift instruments and a broken-down van, rose from the punk scene to create a haunting, atmospheric music that would define a generation. Peter talks with eye-opening candor and reflection about the suicide of Ian Curtis; the band's friendships and fallouts; the evolution of their sound and image; and the larger-than-life characters who formed a vital part of the Joy Division legend, including Factory Records founder Tony Wilson and producer Martin Hannett. Told with surprising humor and vivid detail, Unknown Pleasures is the book Joy Division fans have awaited for decades.

Inside New Order

Substance

Tras el suicidio de Ian Curtis en 1980, los componentes de Joy Division se reagruparon para formar New Order, bajo el auspicio de su mánager, el carismático Rob Gretton. Durante las giras norteamericanas que cimentarían el éxito del grupo en EE.UU., descubrieron fascinados la emergente escena de clubs neoyorquina, con los míticos Danceteria y Paradise Garage a la cabeza. El excéntrico y ambicioso Tony Wilson, máximo responsable de Factory, el sello discográfico de Manchester que labró su éxito gracias, sobre todo, a Joy Division y New Order, decidió emprender con Gretton, arrastrando, de paso, a New Order, una ambiciosa reforma del International Marine Center para reconvertirlo en el que debía ser el club más elegante y sofisticado del mundo, a imagen y semejanza de los que habían visto en Nueva York. Para ello, contrataron al visionario arquitecto Ben Kelly, que transformó el espacio en una catedral de acero y cristal a la que llamaron The Haçienda, y que incluso recibió un número de referencia: FAC 51. Peter Hook, cuyas líneas de bajo en Joy Division y New Order son un referente de la música popular, narra con humor y un ritmo endiablado su experiencia no solo como bajista de dos de los grupos fundamentales del rock británico sino también como copropietario a la fuerza de uno de los clubs más influyentes de todos los tiempos. Hooky, que vivía humildemente con veinte libras a la semana, no pudo imaginarse nunca que gran parte de sus abultados ingresos tras éxitos como "Blue Monday", "Bizarre Love Triangle" o "True Faith" se esfumarían en ese "agujero en el suelo conocido como The Haçienda", tal y como lo describió el productor Martin Hannett, que abrió sus puertas el 21 de mayo de 1982 para cambiar para siempre el rumbo de la escena de clubs del Reino Unido. Y si bien al principio funcionó más como una sala de conciertos --allí dieron bolos antológicos grupos como los Smiths, Happy Mondays o Stone Roses--, a partir de 1984, DJs como Mike Pickering y sus noches Nude tomaron el testigo y empezaron a pinchar una ecléctica mezcla de funk, primigenia música electrónica e indie que revolucionaron la escena musical y plantaron las semillas del fenómeno que se conoció como Madchester. Para que la revolución acabara de estallar, ya solo quedó el advenimiento del Segundo Verano del Amor, de inspiración ibicenca, que dio lugar en 1988 al apogeo de la cultura rave y al acid house. Esta es la hilarante y desquiciada historia de The Haçienda, contada por un narrador de excepción como Peter Hook, que vio cómo la mala gestión, la violencia del crimen organizado de Manchester (rebautizada "Gunchester"), una administración pública beligerante y errores de amateur de todo tipo acabaron con la vida de un club legendario cuyo legado aún hoy pervive.

Hook does so memorably’ Guardian ‘As mammoth and downright idiotic as the band deserves … something hilariously daft happens on nearly all of Substance’s 750 pages’ Classic Pop

Substance: Inside New Order

It's every new teacher's first concern and it's an area about which even the most experienced teachers are never complacent - how to control their classes. This new edition of the Teachers Pocketbooks top-selling title is a practical, authoritative guide to creating calm classes and focused, co-operative students. The book starts from the premise that teachers cannot control the behaviour of children; instead they must seek to influence it. Teachers are most effective in managing behaviour when they focus on antecedents and consequences. This means building relationships and using preventative strategies followed by consistent use of logical consequences. The book covers different styles of behaviour management; getting the basics right; eight core principles and a ten-step discipline plan. A section entitled developing the toolkit offers a broad range of strategies for teachers to use. All are explained in practical, classroom terms with examples of phrases to use for maximum effectiveness. Underpinning the repertoire of techniques is a strong framework: the 4Rs rights, responsibilities, rules and routines. Liberal use of cartoons, diagrams, mnemonics and other visual devices reinforce the message and fast-track understanding. "An invaluable guide for all adults who work with children. This book will change the way you think and act in the classroom and should be compulsory reading." Tim Plumb, Head Teacher, Woolwich Polytechnic School "A fantastic read.
