A friend of mine shared this video with me a few days ago. I love how Joy Division still manages to show up from time to time with various face lifts and reincarnations. They are probably the most influential band of their time, along with the latter Joy Division manifestation, New Order. So it just goes to show that when your band can still create buzz after thirty-plus years, you're gonna have a stop motion lego band or two overdubbed to your classic tv appearances. This is only enjoyable for the lego Stephen Morris, his drumming is almost spot on.
And, while I'm on the subject, I remember seeing this video a while back, and I think it may have been the only time the word "nonplussed" was ever appropriate in it's usage, and the only time I've ever used the word for that matter. This is probably the best cover of any Joy Division song, and the only time I've ever appreciated the use of the steel drum.
