Atoms For Peace [Thom Yorke/Flea] Cover Joy Division

[pitchfork.com] At an Atoms for Peace concert last night at Oakland's Fox Theatre, Thom Yorke and his crew broke out a cover of one of the most covered songs ever: Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Thom seemed pretty happy with it, as you can see for yourself in the YouTube clip of the performance below.

We already knew Thom had a solid Ian Curtis in him-- remember when Radiohead covered "Ceremony" in the run up to In Rainbows? Good stuff. Yorke's band hits Coachella this weekend.
