"Regret" is one of those songs I never think of posting, because I assume everyone has it already. Upon consideration, however, there's no real overlap between the New Order heads on my lj-friends and the, er, wild-eyed GB enthusiasts, and this is for the benefit of the latter. It's a mark of how much I like the series that I'd give it this song, rather than vice-versa.

So here's to the Get Backers with an S:

New Order - Regret
New Order - Regret (New Order Mix)
Get Up Kids - Regret
Color Filter - Regret

(Yeah, when I post a song I like it comes with all the mixes and cover versions. XD The mix is more danceable than the original, along the lines of what you'd expect from New Order, i.e. something like "Bizarre Love Triangle". The first cover is fuzzy-indie-rock-ish, with variable tempo and half the notes swapped out. ^^; The second is actually off a Japanese tribute album, and awash with ethereal Shibuya-kei electronica.)

If I could be in a band I'd play the bass. I blame this on John (oi, joliefolie, apparently he's going to tour with Duran Duran), but especially on Hooky.

Ah, whottheheck. XD I like New Order better when they're more guitar-y and less programmed, to tell the truth, like a happier version of Joy Division. (Which is odd, because I'm very electronica-oriented.) It's not inconceivable to me that one could like a cover version better, depending on the song - I mean on a lot of the earlier ones Barney Sumner couldn't really sing, so. But it really is a question of taste, YMMV, de gustibus and so forth. ^^;
