Today is Blue Monday, the day "experts" deem to be the most depressing day of the year. Two different equations have been utilized by "experts" to determine the exact date of Blue Monday - debt, weather, stress, and travel all factor in - however most scientists consider the concept of Blue Monday to be questionable at best.

Blue Monday has only been a thing (such that it is) since 2005 and has nothing at all to do with New Order's iconic anthem, but what an excellent excuse* to bust out the vinyl/cassette/CD/whatever and enjoy this timeless classic.



Meanwhile, the BBC also posted a short clip of Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert discussing New Order's "angriest" gig - their live instudio Maida Vale performance from 1984. Morris reveals the band made it just in time for their performance and took out their anger/frustration out during the performance. Check out the interview clip and performances from the session below which featured "Sooner Than You Think," "Age Of Consent," "Blue Monday," "In A Lonely Place," and "Temptation."









Audio of the full session:



*Keep in mind you never EVER need an excuse to listen to New Order. Just saying.
