Awesome Song Thread!

Thanks for the copyright bit - I didn’t know that.

That version is a studio version. I promise, the version from that double-live album is special.

I love this song.

My favourite New Order, and I love this remix of it.

And for something completely different.

This is a vid of Carolina Chocolate Drops and the Luminescent Orchestrii performing “Knocking” in a NY apartment while practicing for a tour. If you haven’t heard either band, you’ve been missing out! Defined in youtube comments as a “hot bundle of awesome.”

I don’t know whether to love or hate this thread, because it makes me remember a lot of one-hit wonders from the 60s and 70s which maybe should just stay there. Still, the nice thing about pop songs is that they’re from a specific moment in time so they instantly take you back to where you were at that time.
