What's This Song 2!

What's this song in the History Boys trailer?

I was introduced to New Order last year. But now, one year later...

While watching the trailer for the History Boys, I came across a song that sounds very much like New Order -- the second song (after Blue Monday) that comes out. Here's an excerpt of the audio. What is this song? Help me satisfy my music urges!

I think that is "Inbetween Days" by the Cure.

An mp3 of the song resides here.

You're right! Thank you, thinman.

Thanks for the mp3, although it's mono and 60kbps or so -- here's a pretty nice bootleg.

Now that the question's been answered...uh, is that trailer completely unrepresentative of what the movie/play is about? It seems like a total Hallmark movie, and though I haven't seen the play, I was under the impression that it was, you know, GOOD. Or at least not "Dead Poet's Society meets Billy Elliot."

Thanks for the mp3...

Don't thank me. Thank the guy who blogged this—the guy whose ezarchive bandwidth MetaFilter is (perhaps) about to ravage.

Ian A.T.: The trailer is not unrepresentative, but I would say that the movie is a lot more cerebral than the trailer lets on. There is a lot of smart, wordy dialogue. In my opinion, it's excellent.

I saw both the play and the movie--loved them! I would call it more of a male Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
