Tip For Indie Rock Success – Cover Joy Division


During some weekend web surfing, I ran across a great post on My Old Kentucky Blog. On a recent entry, Dodge reminded us of the Rules Of Indie Rock Success:

Rule #1: Put a hot girl on keyboard or bass.
Rule #2: Cover Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart”

This being said, it comes as no big surprise that far too many bands have covered Joy Division’s classic “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” Dodge has pieced together what may very well be the definitive collection of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” MP3s, including renditions by Squarepusher, U2 & The Arcade Fire, Bis, Calexico, The Cure and plenty of others. With over twenty-five different covers of this tune, chances are there are a few that you may have not heard before. Click over to check out this impressive list and download those Monday blues away.
