But who would play the cowbell...."I NEED more cowbell"..."I've got a fever and the only prescription...is more cowbell"
How about...
Haunted when the minutes drag by Love and Rockets
Driving away from home by Its Immaterial (Ok...its not famous but its a great song)
The End by the Doors
hey i've got a good one
One of Our Submarines by Thomas Dolby
just listening to this right now
Maybe "Panic" or "Bigmouth Strikes Again." Morrissey would certainly have a hissy fit after hearing Barney sing his lyrics.
Originally posted by Aleph Covers are shite cop outs, New Order should be above them (aside from Turn the Heater On and Vietnam; the former was when the band was low on ideas, the later was for charity).
Covers
You forgot "Sister Ray"
"Everything in its right place" Radiohead.
"Thorn in my side" The Eurhythmics.
"How soon is now" The Smiths.
"You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive. It's worth a shot. As long as they don't attempt anything by Metallica. I don't think I'd view either band the same again.

Matthew Good himself needs to be kicked in the nuts, I've met the guy and he's such a two faced odious little man. Ass kisser one moment, triumph the insult comic dog the next.
However "Everything is automatic" is great would be a really good song for new order to cover, good thinking! 
(i liked my suggestion better, or maybe "I might be wrong" by radiohead..whatever)
true, he is quite twofaced...
i met him too... although, he usually has good reasons for being an asshole...
at some festival last year, the organizers were accusing him of some sort of crap about being late and stuff... and it pissed off alot of people...
hes also very opinionated, and overly critical... much like myself... ive actually killed alot of friendships because of my overly criticalness...
well, he's canada's rock n'roll asshole. every country should have their own...i think people think canadians are too nice, which isn't a bad thing. but at least he says something intelligent. abrasive? sure. his songs? not a big fan, but he's got some alright stuff.
as for a new order cover....i would actually like to hear them do anarchy in the UK. i know they've done it, but it would be nice to hear them record a nice version of it instead of a bootleg mp3 that gets passed around. ill probably think up of a better song later. or the model by kraftwerk.

that is a good idea!
how about "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" William Shatner style or...... cover Orgy's version of "Blue Monday"? maybe they can pretend it is Joy Division covering "Blue Monday"....
or "Trampled Under Foot" or "Misty Mountain Hop" by Led Zeppelin... i'm dead serious.
Say some really British stuff:
Maybe some rockabilly? Or say blues? I remember one review on Depeche's Violator back in 1990 and the reviewer expressed the following way: 'It's like New Order playing Muddy Waters'.
And I don't think they have to cover any of the groups inspired by JD/NO (Cure/Cult & adherents).
Id like to see them cover some Clash songs; Guns of Brixton Ghetto Defendant White Riot Or B.A.D.s Sudden Impact
Originally posted by LOng Tall Texan Say some really British stuff: 1. Death of the Clown (The Kinks, 1966)2. Venus in Furs (The Velvet Underground, 1967)3. Indeed, it would be cool to hear something of Kraftwerk coming from Sumner's lips and Hook's bass, but pretty sure it's quite unlikely.
Could you let me know where I could hear some tracks by the British Velvets and the British Kraftwek ? The fella in HMV thought I was on medication when I enquired, he was rather rude in fact. Please help , I'd like to wipe the smile of his face, a catologue number or two should do it. Thanks in advance.
It's that lovverly lilting Welshness of Cale as he spits out the "shiny shiny", isnet ?
Made me chuckle on The Fall website the other day, some 15 year old US kid had written to MES demanding that they change their name to "The Fall UK" as he has formed a band in the States called "The Fall". Maybe we should form a band called "London Pixies" or "Public Enemy Recife" ?
While this was a post of rare wit and insight, it wasn't that crash-hot that it had to appear twice !
Shiny shiny , isnet ?
What an image that throws up mate, good call Tim
As for the cheeky young fella from the US, oh to have been in the same room as MES when that was mentioned , now that is some reality TV worth watchin dont ya think ?
