I haven't been writing here lately, both because I've been too busy and because I'm self-conscious about writing repeatedly about what I like best. But today, with a light rain falling on the paper walls of the future, I don't care. A while back I mentioned my excitement at the new record by Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew. I've come to realize that, of all the bands of their Pitchfork-inflected era, Broken Social Scene and Bloc Party are the ones I come back to with the most bliss. And that makes them, in my world, the heirs of my all-time favorite groups. Having recently seen the sublime film ??Control?? about the life of Joy Division front man Ian Curtis twice, I've been in a Joy Division-New Order mood, revisiting their music in a big way. How perfect, then, that I'm getting to hear a gorgeous cover of New Order's "Age of Consent" performed by Kevin Drew. I'm pretty sure that anyone who likes New Order will be swayed by this one. Enjoy.
