Yuna Come As You Are

Hopefully Fran will like me again….
if I post about Broken Social Scene covering Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” While the original is an unreal new wave anthem, this track is a beautifully slow, building track that has a bit more weight.
Stream it on Pitchfork and we’ll post the mp3 when we can!
In the meantime, here’s the original video:
And included is Nouvelle Vague’s Bossa Nova cover from 2005
SO Antony from Antony & The Johnsons did a cover of Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love”; apparently it’s from a few years ago, but I just found it (thanks perez, so embarassing but whatever, he’s down with some good shit) and I LOVE IT! I don’t know if it’s a testament to the quality of Beyonce’s songwriting ability, or Antony’s beautiful voice that makes almost any song sound 10x better, but I think this is a really great cover. It’s got all the same melodies as Beyonce’s version, but the orchestra and Antony’s style of singing give it a haunting quality that I never would have guessed the song was capable of. I can’t lie, though. I really wanted Jay-Z to pop in and do his part, but that might have been a little too nuts.
