Happy Mondays #1


Yesterday I blogged about the fact that today would statistically be the most depressing day of the year. My friend Niamh set up a facebook notes page looking for suggestions for songs as an antidote to the bad buzz of a day that it is.

She's put all of the suggestions into a youtube playlist (we don't have spotify yet international readers) Here's a link to it

I've taken some of my favourite suggestions and put them here for download. But since I've gotten comfortable with blogging now I wan to start running a few simple weekly features. So here goes the first edition of Happy Mondays. I'm sure other blogs use this concept already, maybe even with the same name, if so I haven't seen it, but for the record as far as I know it's a unique name, if not overly original.

I'm From Barcelona - Treehouse

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy

Eels - Hey Man, Now You're Really Livin'

Most depressing day of the year? Me hole!!


A friend of mine has set up some sort of facebook "notes" page looking for suggestions for happy songs. The reason being that statistically tomorrow is the most depressing day of the year. The thinking being that it's likely to be dark, wet, cold with nothing to really look forward to. Also, post Christmas chances are you are broke. And it's a Monday. Fair enough I guess.

Here are a few, suggestions always welcome, I'll add more all day tomorrow to keep the spirits up!

Noah And The Whale - Love Of An Orchestra

Elbow - One Day Like This

The Temptations - Ny Girl
