New Order and the Story of 'Blue Monday'
Manage episode 445643112 series 3605202
The success of "Blue Monday" by New Order was a mistake. The song was a joke. New Order never intended for it to be a hit. In this week’s episode of Poetic Wax, we pull out the 1988 reissue of "Blue Monday" on vinyl and give it a spin.
We'll dig into the surprising history of the song that blended alt rock, new wave, and electronic dance music and changed the course of music history.
