Up down turn around, please don’t let me hit the ground, tonight I think I’ll walk alone I’ll find my soul as I go

I love New Order. Who doesn’t? It’s like some kind of mor­tal sin to not love them. Here are a few cov­ers I’ve amassed, I hope you’ll enjoy that famil­iar prickly hair-raising feel­ing when the intro to Temp­ta­tion starts…

There’s quite a mix down there, Iron & Wine makes Love Vig­i­lantes their own by basi­cally singing the song the way he sings all his other songs. Mean­while, a cover of the same song done by The String Quar­tet is a serene instru­men­tal. Juke­box the Ghost’s inter­pre­ta­tion of Temp­ta­tion is super POP. The only band that’s stayed true to the shoegaze vibe is Sen­nen with their Bizarre Love Tri­an­gle cover. Obvi­ously none of them can top the orig­i­nals, but it’s kind of nice to hear dif­fer­ent takes of the same golden tunes.

1. Iron & Wine — Love Vig­i­lantes (New Order Cover)

2. The String Quar­tet — Love Vig­i­lantes Instru­men­tal (New Order Cover)

3. Juke­box the Ghost — Temp­ta­tion (New Order Cover)

4. Sen­nen — Bizarre Love Tri­an­gle (New Order Cover)

Dreaming in Piano

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

I couldn’t really sleep last night, the excite­ment of the evening seemed to move beyond the 2am mark when Alfred and the lot finally jet­ted off. It was like child­hood all over again, there was pizza, a birth­day with friends from ele­men­tary school and video games. Not over­look­ing the adult por­tion of the fes­tiv­i­ties: music, beer, .. you get the pic­ture. It was a pretty sat­is­fy­ing evening. With all that you think I’d just pass out right? No such luck. So I lis­tened to some lullabies.
