At last night's Oakland gig, Thom Yorke and his new band the Atoms for Peace, treated the crowd to a second encore consisting of the Joy Division classic, Love Will Tear Us Apart- everyone's favourite alternative love song. The cover is commendable for it's no-messin' approach, adding little to the original, perhaps the best approach to tackling the nigh-on-perfect-already Joy Division. Yorke's vocals are also of interest, seemingly plummeting new depths in their Curtis-mimicking, a far cry from his usual falsetto.
It's this kind of thing that just makes me kick myself even harder over this missed opportunity.
First read about this over at Stereogum.
