Today is the 20th anniversary of the Manchester Passion, a live BBC production in Albert Square of the last hours of Jesus. The Passion told through Mancunian pop songs.
"Love Will Tear Us Apart” was sung at the Last Supper, beginning at 9:50.

Happy 70th birthday to Bernard Sumner. Easily one of the four best singers in the original line-up of New Order 🎉

The Australian country rock version… possibly my favourite LWTUA cover of all.
Disappointingly, the backing band are all men and don't look like they've been anywhere near a prison.

It was tonight. An utterly joyful evening. A few more dates on their tour still to come, I believe x
Been a tough week one way and another so Shack at Shepherds Bush is just what I need. Fully expect grown men crying.

In a cruel and unsettling world sometimes all we have is surprising pop trivia 😂
Saturday’s boring fact of the day.
Madonna is the young dancer and backing singer at the front in this video of the 1979 disco classic, she toured with Patrick Hernandez for 6 months.
I need to get out more.

I didn’t know that, and I love that song. Thanks for the public service 🙏
Mind you it was only a couple of months ago I found out that Young at Heart is a cover of a Bananarama album track, 40 years after it came out.
Love Will Tear Us Apart Again heard from two rooms away and approximately transcribed.
🤣
Bought a copy at the Publishing Scotland book fair thing at the weekend. Looking forward to diving in! 🙏
To have played in one great band may be regarded as good fortune. To have played in two looks like genius.
RIP Mani ✊xx
Thanks so much for bringing DG back into the light Jude. I devoured his 70s and 80s albums after seeing him at the Band on the Wall in Manchester while a student there. What a voice! Had no idea this had all happened to him. Have just donated to the campaign 🙏
(And here's the Transatlantic Sessions performance I mention, which includes a young Rufus Wainwright, his mother and aunt, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and Emmylou Harris.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_Bo...
Simultaneously the gentlest and fiercest voice in folk music. A sad and eye-opening story but good to know DG is still around 🙏

The electronic loop-pedal version recorded in a ceramics shop in Amsterdam by a violinist and international frisbee-player from Vancouver… and one of the very best.

She literally loves you
Ruin a song by adding the word ‘literally’ to the title. I’ll start.
Love will literally tear us apart.
