oh god, would you guys actualy listen to xiu xiu before you even attempt to understand this performance. idiots.

[sohailio11]

if jamie stewart was an anchorman, i would watch the news more often

[lightningpaw2]

A thousand times better than the original. All you haters' ears are broken.

[imontrial]

@blicket2k You're an idiot. Joy Division is a HUGE influence of Jamie Stewart's. I'm sure they've "paid tribute".

[superdupergoody]

@blicket2k hey kid why dont you just chill..maybe they play the song because they like it and sure they change it but how the hell is it not a tribute? thats beyond me man..of course he's paying tribute to a goddamn awesome band like new order! not to like them because of one of their covers is just stupid. you're stupid. their cover of under pressure is equally respectful and interesting...its not just a straight rip, it's xiu-ified

[taila1976]

god. hate his voice. this guy is trying hard to be original

[Scttrbrain7]

My favorite song... I'm so glad I didn't hear this version first, or else I would never have learned to love it, this is just plain crap.

[blicket2k]

i used to like xiu xiu. after hearing them use and butcher this song in every one of their renditions with out paying so much a single iota of tribute is disrespectful and shameful. so now they suck. so unoriginal..and their name is a also a rip

[SimMaster]

why doesnt it start with bass : (

[WeRobBanks]

Bocaburgler, they've had this song in their repertoire since their first EP which came out just after their first album.

[Toadsmiles]

horrible voice? used to love xiu xiu?

they've had that singing for all of their albums...

[bocaburgler]

I use to love xiu xiu, but man, they really butchered this song to hell. horrible voice
