Broken Social Science?

Walt Jacobs on February 19, 2014

Yesterday I downloaded the song “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” by Broken Social Scene; I originally encountered this song a few years ago as part of the movie The Time Traveller’s Wife. I had a hard time finding the song on iTunes, however, as I kept searching for “Broken Social Science” as the name of the band! I wonder: if a band called “Broken Social Science” actually existed, what would they sing about? Any ideas?

They'd sing about surveys that prove things with exactitude. And then sometime later, don't.

Excellent, Stanley!

They'd think Joy Division was a quantifiable inequality.

I'm not familiar with Joy Division, Letta, so I'll have to check out some of their songs!

They did the original of the song; you should totally watch the move "Control" about the band. It's amazing! Here's a video of the original song:

Thanks Letta. I have to admit that I like the slower tempo remake by Broken Social Scene better, but I'll check out the "Control" movie.
