This might be old news to some but there's a pretty good cover of 'Age of Consent' by the Never Ending White Lights project. Vocals by Nick Hexum of 311. (A big NO fan)
Check it out at www.neverendingwhitelights.com
It's some where on that website.
Enjoy!
What do you think NO fans?
there's a good version of the song by the arcade fire in the multimedia section on this site in case anyone has missed it

It has been updated with vocals by Swifty

Swifty Age Of Consent 
Ooooh, now that is a good one! :P
I'm almost embarassed to say that I like the ending best, even though it was a joke.
listening to it right now. not bad. 311 kind of blows... had a few good songs... but this song can get through anything... brilliant fucking song it is yes. hrm.
blinding sun-- very nice. works really well. very nice guitar work. i can tell you really worked at this, and the results are well worth your time. the warmth of the bass/synth line from the original is the best thing about it, and you managed to recreate it. lovely! you should be very proud of this.

y thanks, we tried hard to try capturing the energy of New Order's live performances of this song. Yes, the bass/synth line is the beam on which the whole song flows, we didn't use any synths but had bass and supercharged guitars playing frantically throughout the song attempting to recreate that...
I personally like how Swifty turns it into a country song in the outro, turns the whole thing on it's head!

I have, and what a great version it is, especially the acoustic bit at the end, pity about the lyrics though... Oops :)
Thanks BufferLow, but what do you mean "pity about the lyrics"?
That I got a couple of words wrong? -sorry, it's probably my least fave NO song. 
Or am I just a ****y singer? lol

I mean Barney is a crap lyricst compared to Ian (nothing to do with you). Go to the "Barney"s Dubious Lyrical Talent" thread.

I quite like the lyrics in Age Of Consent...

The last few minutes are outstanding. it's sounds kinda like the Jesus and Mary Chain doing AOC. Actually, I wouldn't mind hearing the whole song done that way.

How about I go totally brutal and do it acapella?
It seems the people responsible for AOC (first message of this thread) are interested to submit it for Community 2...
