Thom Yorke Establishes His Mope-Rock Bona Fides


Thom Yorke, who's spent the last few weeks taking a break from his Radiohead-fronting duties to play a handful of shows with his all-star backing band Atoms For Peace, threw Joy Division's oft-covered "Love Will Tear Us Apart" into his set last night. Somehow the Internet has not broken wide open and swallowed itself as a result of this particular song making its way to YouTube! Is it Flea's fault? [Via]

Jesus. It's pretty much become "Stairway" at this point, hasn't it?

it's as bad as if you shouted "play 'freebird'" at a concert and then the band actually did it

I was at a Built to Spill show years ago when, after many yells from the audience, they indeed did play "Freebird" in its solo-heavy entirety.

It was not bad. It was awesome.

EXCEPTION THAT PROVES THE RULE

maybe the quality of the recording is what's sticking in the internet's craw?
