I know there probably already IS one (I can't make the search engine work on this machine), but seeing as it's Halloween and Swans made pretty much some of the scariest, Halloweeniest music I can think of, I thought they should get another chance in front of the ol' firing squad. For my money, search the "black" version of "Love Will Tear Us Apart," which comes so close to equalling the original (to me) that I sometimes wonder which one I'd like more if I had heard the Swans cover first. Destroy the first EP, which sounds like bad no-wave (the worst kind of no-wave). And what the fuck is up with that saxophone?
