Radiohead play covers
Radiohead cover Joy Division and New Order's Ceremony. Personally I think the New Order is better than Joy Division's and it is one of my favourite songs of all time, so I'm always gonna be a harsh judge, Radiohead manage not to massacre it though, which is good. It's actually really enjoyable. But that's the genius of the original song. November 9th 2007.
Radiohead cover The Headmaster Ritual. November 9th 2007. Again, they do a sterling job. Maybe they should do a covers album?
Brought Ya New Order
A great live performance of Age of Consent by New Order. Given that Age of Consent is probably my favourite song of all time, ever, I was always going to like this, but the rolled up sleeves and great spliff-vision 80s camerawork and crappy coloured filters just make it. Recorded at the London Brixton Academy, 4th April 1987.
Again, what with Age of Consent being quite possibly the best crafted song ever, I usually feel that cover artists are apostates when it comes to New Order. But, also being a massive fan of the ukelele, or as I like to call it, awwwcuteminiguitar, I had to listen to this guy's uke rendition of Age of Consent. And it ain't half bad. He doesn't get the opening riff down at all, but it is charming still. I sort of want to marry him in fact. New Order live on.
