Covers Theory #1

MP3 New Order / Ceremony (Joy Division cover, 1980) [beginner]

MP3 Luna / Fourth of July (live Galaxie 500 cover, 2001) [advanced]

Band #1 writes and performs Song A, dies. Band #2 rises from the ashes, covers Song A or (Song A). Who song is it? Is Song A' a cover?

MP3 Galaxie 500 / Ceremony (JD-NO cover, 1989) [just right]

Is Galaxie 500 covering Joy Division, or is he/she/it covering New Order covering Joy division? If Luna performed "Ceremony" would the universe implode or explode?

Slo-Mo Transmission

If Ian Curtis moved as if he were on opium rather than speed he would daaaaance... daaaaance... daaaance... to the ray- dee- oh...

MP3 Low / Transmission (Joy Division cover)

For the notebooks: on April 18, 1996, while playing a gig in Austin, TX, Low's vocalist Alan Sparhawk relents to audience requests, announcing, "Alright, alright we'll do 'Transmission' but don't ever ask us to do it again [OR I WILL SLOWLY REMOVE ALL THE BLOOD FROM YOUR VEINS LEAVING YOU IMMOBILE AND GREY LIKE ME]." Unquote.

Happy listening!
