Flunk's Blue Monday

I'm sorry if you guys already know of this cover. But has anyone heard "Flunks" version of Blue Monday? I just downloaded it and its a cover of New Order's alright. She uses and acoustic guitar the entire song, and it has some soft synth that come in, and then it goes on adding more. Its a softer version, that really dancy. I enjoyed it though, its definently different.

Edited the title.

Must be better than the version New Order insist on boring us with

Going by your description, I'm pretty sure it's not Bjork, but a Scandinavian band called 'Flunk' or something similar, but I could be wrong....someone was talking about it a year or so ago here, but I've not heard it in full myself. CTB

You can watch their Blue Monday video here

Berk's best stuff was with the Sugarcubes. I can see why she got rid of them - that bloke shouting over the records had to go. She's not really fulfilled her potential since then, although some nice little tunes. Laying an egg at the Brits and twatting that photographer are post-Cubes highlights.

Frente is Australian, I think. Frente never did a cover of BM. Yes, it was Flunk who did a cover of BM.

Def NOT the ICE Maiden, she wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, too busy promotin her fella's new film & soundtrack

You're right as ever, Maja Johnny, Frente's BLT came out about 10 years ago ( and was shite, IMHO); the Flunk BM cover is much more recent than that...I think within the last 18 months or so CTB

They did a cover of True faith too.

Ah, your right it is indeed Flunk. My apologies, it said and sounded like Bjork. How funny, thanks for clearing that up.

Flunk does a very chilled-out version of Blue Monday. But you are deffo right, she does sound like Björk!

...Jari Hulkkonen did two mixes of that tune...

still dont beat The Times version

Yeah CTB i remember Frentes version of BLT was 10 years ago.I was in Israel for a year around that time and the radio stations were quite fond of playing it.That was as near as it got to hearing New Order on the radio though.Theyve never been that popular in The Holy Land.Probably because of the (alegged) Nazi implications with the names of Joy Division and New Order.They`ve never played a gig in Israel

I love Frente's version of BLT, beautiful in my opinion. Although Frente were a crap band.

Frente's 15 minutes of fame and any nod back to NO is a good one.
