Bit of chilling out today.
Yeah. Kinda two songs for one, and a cracking version by Wilco.

The live version on youtube in NYC in 1981 is also amazing. They hadn’t come up with the bulk of the lyrics yet, but the unique at the time danceable synths & rhythm machine sounds had been composed. Covered in detail in Hookie’s last autobio.
I was still at school, somehow (NME?) my mates and I cottoned to New Order at that time, instantly falling in love with the band and Joy Division.
See any gigs of theirs in the 80’s?
Town and country mid 80s. Always seemed to miss their gigs when they came up but had a preference for what was laid down and all the mixes and versions rather than live experience with them. Other bands however I love live completely different experience to listening to a track on headphones.
Wish I had added in the blu-ray option for the new album though
Apologies for two songs in one day
