As some of you may know, I "work" in the television industry. Today, I'm producing a promo for a great show called "Later...with Jools Holland" which airs on the music channel Rave HD, which is available on Dish Network through their Voom Pak (which, I believe, is watched by about 3 people). In addition to live, in-studio performances by 5 or 6 guests per week, "Later" also features interviews with some of the bands. I just watched an interview with New Order in which Jools asked if the band had any advice for young bands just starting out.
(Some background before the punchline for the musically impaired: New Order is comprised of Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris who used to be in the band Joy Division until their lead singer, Ian Curtis, hung himself. And now back to our regularly scheduled post...)
Bass player Peter Hook's advice? "Keep your eye on your lead singer."
