Blue Monday

A big thanks goes out to Leigh M. who provided us with the majority of today's collection. It's actually been a beautiful sunny Monday so far here in Indiana...all weekend was awesome weather. Top was down on the Jeep and the wind was blowing in my hair like Fabio. OK, hopefully not like Fabio...

New Order : Blue Monday


From the ashes of Joy Division, after the suicide of Ian Curtis, arose New Order. "Blue Monday", released in 1983, is often seen as a very important crossover tracks of the 1980s electronica scene. Synthpop had already been a major force in British popular music for several years, but "Blue Monday" brought the influence and sound of the New York club scene over seas.

At nearly 7 and a half minutes in length, it's one of the longest tracks to ever chart in the UK. The version here is the radio edit that comes in at just over 4 minutes. I don't have the full version, so if you can help me out?

As to the song's lyrical meaning? As with many of New Order's songs, the meaning of "Blue Monday"'s lyric has been the subject of much debate. Although Bernard Sumner never publicly discusses his lyrics, many people have surmised that "Blue Monday" concerns the suicide of Joy Division vocalist Ian Curtis and the effect it had on his former bandmates. However, comparisons with the lyrics and the aftereffects of cocaine have also been made, which would fit in with the potentially drug related themes of many other New Order tracks (another legend has it that the band was on LSD while recording it, and after they finished the producers took them to a café to finish out their tripping while they went back and cleaned it up). It has also been suggested that the song is a reference to the Falklands War. - Wiki

I don't have it, but there's definitely a Kylie Minogue version somewhere.

I don't have it for a reason, of course. A nice backside doesn't make up for everything...

I remember reading that they spent ages programing the vocals into a vocoder but the computer crashed at the last minute so Bernard Sumner had to sing it instead. sounds very New Order!
there was also a tune called 'How does it feel' by Electroset which was a rockier re-working of Blue monday.
The kylie version was a bootleg remix of 'can't get you out of my head...'
Love this tune!

I have the original version on vinyl...nonetheless, listening to this song again brings back some very vivid memories for me. The summer of 83: I was very much into New Order (and went to see them at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, one of the most memorable shows ever), but also, the music reminds me of the weird drugged-out circle of philosophy majors I was hanging out with. We wore lab coats all summer, no other clothes, took a lot of acid, and talked about Nietche endlessly...the record "Power, Corruption and Lies" provided the soundtrack.

In relistening to the lyrics, despite the grand themes we imagined for this tune, I think it is just about a bitter break-up.

I'd like to see one of these posts for Bob Marley's "Redemption Song". I know it's been covered by Joe Strummer, Ben Harper and a Korean punk band called Suck Stuff. I can supply you with these songs if needed! Contact me through myspace to get them.

Your link for the Bulletproof version does not work. try:

http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display_release.asp?id=4654

Also there is a version by Cosmosis:

http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/psy_trance/track/12779.html

Note: These are psytrance (psychedelic trance) versions and the downloads are only about half of each of the tracks (for the full versions you need to purchase from those sites).

Informative details on history of viagra confirm that the anti-impotency drug Viagra was actually developed by researchers with the purpose of curing angina but incidentally during clinical trails, the drug was found effective in treating erectile dysfunction in men. With clinical results demonstrating the powerful effects of Viagra in triggering off erections necessary for sexual intercourse,impotency afflicted worldwide opted for the medication and the viagra phenomenon also offered suitable assistance to them in countering erectile dysfunction. Slowly and gradually Viagra has developed a deepest level of relationship with men which has further led to an indelible association between viagra and sexuality. And right now viagra and erectile dysfunction related tidbits are popular throughout the world and erectile dysfunction afflicted men worldwide are administering Viagra under medical supervision.

An estimated 30 percent of all men are unable to control their ejaculation in most sexual encounters. This makes premature ejaculation a huge problem for many men and couples. The problem with premature ejaculation is that it spoils all the fun for both partners as nobody wants to put an end to a pleasurable activity too early. http://www.viagrathunder.com
