Things I don't get, part 1

This is the perfect example of the Elders raison d'etre (that's French): last night, New Order were on Jools Holland. They played the title track from their new album (Waiting for the Sirens Call), and it sounded pretty good: as good as you could possibly hope for really, even if the rest of the album is a bit rubbish.

But here's a thing: at the end, they did the Joy Division song 'Transmission'.
Despite the fact that the singer of that particular song has been dead for nearly a quarter of a century, and despite some bloke who looks like one of the League Of Gentlemen sneaking into the band without anyone noticing, it sounded fantastic.
That wasn't the 'thing' I mentioned. This is: how come, when every new indie band in a secondhand jumper is wanking on about their Joy Division obsession - how come the band that used to actually be Joy Division are recording rubbish mid-life crisis rock when they can quite clearly still cut it when they can be arsed?

Eh? Eh?

And while we're at it, who the fuck is that drummer in Oasis? When did he happen?
