Will it actually be a New Order cover or a Frente cover?

Or a cover of the EVEN AS WE SPEAK version?

I still have the 7-inch vinyl of that Sydney Indie band release.

I've never heard that version.

And I hope I never do.

Black Eyed Peas

Nice try but unless that's you getting out of a silver Ford Focus outside about to break in and make me click on the link I won't be listening to it

The "aw yeaa" vocals are truely hideous. It's almost as annoying as the time Puff Daddy hijacked Bowie's Lets Dance. Or The Police's Every Breath You Take. Or anything else really.

A perfectly acceptable cover version; seven out of ten. Ironically this will be easier to forget than Black Eyed Peas with Jay Z.

Oh Scarlett, how we ( or just me? ) loved you in Lost In Translation and Girl With A Pearl Earring (on BBC1 right now 23/09/16, 23.40 as i type this funnily enough) but yeah this version of BLT is ok but i'l always remember you from Lost In Translation and the JAMC track and Air's Alone In Kyoto.

I'm not sure what the Blackburn Youth of 86-87 would find to speak kindly of some rich 21st Century Hollywoods star's 2016 version of BLT though...
