Hey, hey, it’s the Mondays!

General astonishment at allumination Central, as I’m currently grooving to the new Happy Mondays album. The sleazy funk! The electro-dub basslines! The surprising new country and western direction! The incomparable lyric flair of Shaun Ryder! All present and correct, astonishing indeed…

First gig I ever saw (back in Paris in ‘90) was the Mondays, first in-store record signing I ever went to (in fact the only one), 17 years later and they’re still going strong. Or at least 3 of them and some other blokes are.

Oh and - Zali, on this one they sound nothing like Can at all! Truly they rock unfeasibly hard.
