10 REASONS TO DIG JOY DIVISION/NEW ORDER COVERS

JD and NO were never my favorites, but I can appreciate them. Here’s some covers.

1. Ceremony (Joy Division Cover)-Xiu Xiu

2. Can’t Take My Eyes Off You / Shadowplay (Joy Division Cover Live 2007)-The Killers. A studio version is available on the Killers’ last release, “Sawdust.”

3. Enjoy The Silence (new order)-Keane

4. Radiohead covers New Order! (Youtube link)

5. Love Vigilantes (New Order Cover)-Voxtrot

6. Love Will Tear Us Apart (JD)-Calexico

7. Hurts Like Teen Spirit-Johnny Cash. One of the greatest mashups ever made, with a twinge of New Order if you look for it.

8. Temptation (New Order cover)-Bobby Bare Jr.

9. Love Will Tear Us Apart (JD)-Albert Kuvezin & Yat-Kha

10. Lullaby (The Cure)-Editors. A band who owes its sound to Joy Division covering a band who owes its sound to New Order. Yeah, I’m kind of a wise ass.
