neat little ditty Greg. The bongos give it kind of a coffee house feel. Are they Ric bongos? :D

Thanks guys.
The bongos are electronic, unfortunately. Pre-recorded loops that come with Garageband.

Electric Bongos....sheesh...what's the world coming to? I wonder what Maynard G. Krebs (the G stands for Walter) would say?

All kidding aside Greg, I actually liked your cover

I may be dragged over the coals of nostalgia here, but you're version is vocally WAY BETTER than Joy Division.

I had my doubts at first, but that's a cool version. Bongos, ska-ish rhythm, and some Byrdsian flourishes! :cool:

diggin' it!!!!
I'm a looooong time joy division fan and a ska fan so it's the perfect blend .. however this version made me want to order a double tall vanilla mocha and read "On The Road", not smoke clove cigarettes and put on a pair of Fleuvogs (that would be soooo 25 years ago :lol: :lol: :lol: )
btw
that song managed to sneak its way onto my set list for a gig I have the 19th and I think I'm a gonna use my 360/12 for it :)
