Did they know him? This sounds like a lot of early live New Order. Did this guy work with New Order in the early 80s? Did this song inspire New Order? Looking online, "they" had two 7" singles... but this is basically the only song. One 7" was a joke vinyl that was glued to sleeve apparently, so it was unplayable. This video has references to The Residents, Andy Kaufman, Elvis, and Frank Zappa. Edited by user 16 February 2013 12:41:26(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

They'd previously always claimed it came about from incorrectly programming their new drum machine The story was that an error was made in triggering the sequencer. The intention was for it to come in from the beginning, not after a kick-drum only intro. It was a happy accident that ended up highlighting the distinctive drum pattern. If anything, the kick-drum echo on the Donna Summer track was more similar to the effect used on "The Beach".

I can hear it. Especially the intro and the sequencer. Great song, great video. Edited by user 20 February 2013 07:18:56(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I thought about starting a new thread entitled "Happy 30th, Blue Monday" but I thought that might be a bit corny. So this'll have to do...

To mark the anniversary, the New Order Facebook site put up a YouTube link to Blue Monday. In case you haven't heard it.
