Here's a brilliant, ramshackle version of New Order's [b]Loveless[/b], as performed live by Tullycraft for a California radio station.

Some purists may hate this, but I really admire the DIY ethic of this cover.

How about Japan's version of The Velvet Undergrounds " All Tomorrows Parties"? One of my favourites still.

Also, (being Canadian) --- The Diodes cover of The Cyrkles " Red Rubber Ball"

Here's a cover from Robert Forster of the Go Betweens:

That's not a very good cover, so I'll redeem Robert with a better cover, this time from Grant Hart (of Nova Mob, Husker Du fame):

Hey, Whomod-

Don't know if you ever found that version of "Eve Of Destruction" by Red Rockers in the year+ since you posted about it, but if you never tracked it down, here it is:

Red Rockers - Eve Of Destruction (3:27)

I'd love to hear that cover of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust done by Bauhaus.
Anyone have it that they could share? I'd heard it a few times on Sirius and I love it. Thanks :)

This group certainly pushes the boundries of being called "new wave", but this song is from that era.

Breakfast Club- Expressway To Your Heart.
