Here's a link to "Handsome Furs" doing "All We Want Baby Is Everything." It's a side project for the lead singer of the band "Wolf Parade" and his wife. I dig the song, but hope somebody from New Order's getting paid a royalty!

Here's some pretty blatant "borrowing" from a band that has been gaining some notoriety lately. I just can't decide who they're ripping off more, Joy Division or Jesus And Mary Chain:

Funny, I loved the National's "Abel" a few years ago because it reminded me of J&M Chain & the Pixies a little. Guess it's how much is reminiscent of the other band and how much is just plain ripoff!

The National wear their influences on their sleeve, but make it their own:
