Love Will Tear Us Apart (Will Bring Us Together, Again)

I thought I was going to be really original. The other day I noticed 3 versions of Love Will Tear Us Apart on my iTunes and I thought to myself, wouldn't it be such a good idea to do a collective Love Will Tear Us Apart post? So I go on Hype Machine to find covers I don't have and alas, I find that I wasn't the first one to do this. Suffice to say I am considerably behind.
Nevertheless. I will continue to post this Love Will Tear Us Apart (Will Bring Us Together, Again). Because it is fun.
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

Jose Gonzalez - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Nouvelle Vague - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Fall Out Boy - Love Will Tear Us Apart
The Cure - Love Will Tear Us Apart

And just for the sake of it:
Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - Love Will
(This isn't actually a cover. But it talks about the original song. And it's a great tune.)
Calexico's version of LWTUA is on the Sweetheart 2005 compilation put out by Starbucks/Hear Music. It also features Joseph Arthur's lush version of The Smith's "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" along with a bunch of other great covers.
first time on your blog; likin' it.
albert kuvezin does an excellent lwtua.
This is great, thank you!
I've seen the song list of the starbucks Love Songs cd and I'd really like to hear it, but I can't seem to find a copy for sale or a download of it... anyone care to share? Much thanks!
malcom mclaren (new york dolls, sex pistols manager or whatever you'd like to call him) released a remix album a few years back, and he mashed up Love Will Tear Us Apart with Love Will Keep Us Together, and called it Love Will Tear Us Together.
i can't find it anywhere.
