Blue Monday On A Thursday

March 10, 2016

I found out this morning that this week (March 7th to be exact) marks the 33 year anniversary of New Order‘s song Blue Monday. Can we just take a moment to bask in the glory of this iconic song?

And please do also watch this incredible re-imagining of the song with vintage musical instruments.

Happy birthday Moni! And the Orkestra Obsolete clip was totally fantastic! I was thrilled to see a theramin and a musical saw. I will definitely listen again and look for more of their work. Loved the masks, too!
