Love will tear me apart ... again
I've noticed something while listening to Yahoo! LaunchCast at work - specifically, listening to the "Cover Art" station; which is all cover tunes:
I'm amazed at how many covers there are of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". From the mediocre (can't remember) to the horrendous (Paul Young). Come on, we're talking about a song where Ian Curtis sounds like Ben Stein singing at an RNC Karaoke Night. How hard is it to improve upon *that*?
For serious, people ... how about a decent cover of the damn song? Besides the Fall Out Boy cover, mind you.
