Broken Social Scene cover Joy Division

I just saw today that Broken Social Scene has done a cover of one of my favorite Joy Division song’s, Love Will Tear Us Apart. The track will be available on the soundtrack for The Time Traveler’s Wife, which I actually want to see even though it looks like a complete chick flick…

All in all the cover is pretty good. I definitely prefer the original, but the BSS version of it is a nice change of pace. It has the signature BSS sound, but is missing the energy (and Ian Curtis) of the original which really takes away from what I love about that song.

I found a page that has the track available for download…not sure how long it will be on there so if you want a copy, get it soon….
