Bizarre cover versions

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Is that the D Mode song? :eek:
The Depeche Mode song is called "Never let me down again". I don't know if this is the song that The m*****n has made a cover of. Anyway the DM song is one of the best songs ever made!!

It certainly is the DM song claws. Karst posted this link:

It's Husseys voice and the way he sings that ruins it for me. And yeah, it's one of my fave songs. I played it to my friends teenage daughters and they called it heavy, head banging music. Never thought I'd hear DM get classed as head banging!

Me neither. Those daughters must listen to really soft music if they find DM as headbanging :)

They listen to chart (c)rap type stuff :urff: Which imo has no conviction to it musically. It's the smacking snare in NLMDA that makes them want to headbang!

Dr. Avalanche also has one hell of a snare if he wants to. On Floodland in general and on "Dominion/MR" and "Lucretia" particularly.

Me? I'm not sure is it so interesting...
It was a Swedish photographer (ethnically a Norwegian, if I don't mistake) called Cato Lein. He told Anton Corbijn had taught him some professional secrets. Was a very nice person (that Lein, I mean). Showed me his own exhibition - there were photos of Zadie Smith and other respectable peeps :) Cool monochrome pictures, indeed. A little bit Corbijnish but not only.
Why me? I was as a participant in the Stockholm Poetry Festival. By the way, the first thing he asked me while he took the pictures, was: "You like Joy Division, too?" :) (In the booklet of the festival there was told I had presented my second book on the 20th anniversary of Curtin's suicide.)
Entschuldigung, again too much off-topic stories... :oops: :oops: :oops:

Resurrecting a dead thread...

Just heard a terrible version of Love Will Tear Us Apart on 6Music by the bizarrely named Hawksley Workman. Should you feel the need to listen to this, make sure all small children and pets are safetly out of earshot.

Frank trashed Little Frank on James Whale's late night TV show sometime in the late 80's/early 90's (although I'm sure he made another one.)

Coincidentally in a couple of hours it's exactly 14 years since a drunken That Guitarist made a prat of himself on the same show!

I'll add the cover of Comfortably Numb that was in the charts recently. It's bizarre and sh*te.

JAMC - Surfin' USA. Interesting.
Nick Cave - Disco 2000, in a slow waltz-ballad stylee.
Anything from the thoroughly disappointing Rosetta Stone 80s covers album.
The Shroud - Alice. Brilliant, pity about their own material. To think I bought one of their albums :oops:

And I'm not mentioning the Ukrainians doing their Smiths covers again ...
Names are just a souvenir ...

2004, the year of the very, very bad cover?
