I was just listening to:

Mike Stern with Richard Bona, who together make beautiful fusion/jazz-tunes. Stern's (guitar) playing is just so smooth and natural and together with Bona's funky bass grooves overlayed with his virtuoso falsetto voice their tunes make me want to disturb this neighborhood's peace anytime. Luckily for my neighbors I can restrain myself somehow sometimes.

For now, I'll just settle with some easy-listening background music. I have to prepare myself for a new load of students next week, who I hope will not outsmart their teacher. They probably will, so I'll just have to study harder than they. I might be going for some Miles Davis to aid me in doing just that.

That Moby track is a Joy Division cover:

Many bands mentioned in this thread - Editors, Interpol and so on - just pale imitators. Joy Division are one of the true all time greats. When Ian Curtis sang "I feel it closing in day in day out", you really believed him.

that Joy Division track was great... put it on my wish list.

I hope I don't make anyone puke now. I've been into a bit of Indie lately. Such as:
Zero 7 – In the waiting line
or same song in hi-def if you can get yahoo music:
Zero 7 – In the waiting line

Broken Social Scene – Cause=Time
Passion Pit – To kingdom come
Rilo Kiley – Dreamworld
Phoenix – Lasso
The Eels – My timing is off... off the Hombre Lobo cover

I'm not a huge fan of Joy Division, don't mind them either, but obviously they did some great stuff that inspired other great artists. Here's three of my favorite Joy Division covers.

Galaxie 500 - Ceremony
Low - Transmission
Therapy? - Isolation

I suppose, technically, Ceremony isn't a Joy Division song, but rather a New Order track. But...well.

Ceremony is a Joy Division song. There's a version of it on "Still". However, they didn't have the chance to record it before Ian Curtis' suicide, hence it was the first New Order single. For those that like JD I highly recommend New Order's first album "Movement" - it's quite clear that they are still Joy Division there. I like New Order, but this is before they really went ballistic on the electronic sound.
