A Week In Music

Monday

Traditionally, of course, 'Blue Monday' is the beginning of the working week (not for the Tutu Vicar though because he is on holiday - hurrah). Also has been known as 'Black Monday' after the stock market crash in 1987. Monday (for those who don't know) gets its name from the Moon (shock, horror) and a fine name it is therefore. The moon will provide more reasons for posts in forthcoming weeks.

Monday has also been responsible for providing inspiration for many musicians - just a few of which you can find below:

The Bangles - Manic Monday (mp3) (buy)

New Order - Blue Monday (mp3) (buy)

The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays (mp3) (buy)

Wilco - Monday (mp3) (buy)

Just unearthed your fine nugget of a blog.

Fine work old boy.

Do you know The Jam's 'Monday' from Sound Affects?

Thanks for your kind comments dickvandyke. Yes I do know that track. In fact I remember buying Sound Effects when it came out - but haven't got round to converting to mp3 yet. Would have been top of the list otherwise.
