Blue Monday Remedy
THE STONES Can’t Get No Satisfaction On A Blue Monday
10 July 2023
To hell with Blue Mondays, let’s have some fun with the immortal Stones who were actually not happy on the first day of the week either back in 1965, although they scored
a number one hit in the US with their stone gold classic (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction this day 58 years ago, despite the fact that it was initially played only on pirate radios, because of the sexually suggestive content.
I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but, you know what.

To Hell With BLUE MONDAYS… Here’s IDLES Remixing ST.VINCENT
You can/could find Bristol punk gunslingers Idles everywhere this past year.
On tribute albums, on covers albums, on collaborative tracks (like the one with
Tom Morello) and of course on their own 4th LP Crawler. Same story for lady of
the night St. Vincent.
So I think they met somewhere in between while being busy
for others and decided to have some fun together too.
Here’s the result. Idles remixed Pay Your Way In Pain,
a highlight of St. Vincent‘s 2021 LP Daddy’s Home.
Get those legs up and dance
this bloody blue Monday away…

Go Completely Nuts To Hot Canadian Engine CALLING ALL CAPTAINS
19 July 2021
Want to start the week with a big bang? Canadian loud-louder-loudest
noise engine CALLING ALL CAPTAINS will do the job the way it must
be done, with their new smoking cannonball UNDONE. A red-hot-boiling
jackhammer about “the person in your life that makes everything about them
and takes no responsibility for their own actions.”
To hell with ‘me, myself and I’ maniacs.
Ignore them and blow your poor speakers to pieces with these deafening
screamagers who fight for their right to be the crazy Beastie Boys of high-
powered party ruckus. Hallelujah!
Alert your neighbors before you press play…

To Hell With Blue Mondays – From Chicago… Rowdy Rockers INDOORSMEN
To hell with Blue Mondays…
8 March 2021
Damn, another bloody Blue Monday.
Remedy? Chicago’s rowdy rockers INDOORSMEN.
Why? Because this steamy hot rod gang just entered the hard-hitting rumble & roll scene with two razorblade-cutting singles. Two nasty slam dunks à la Micheal Jordan. First, they cause a PANIC ATTACK, a crazy-riff ripper about the struggle of fighting with anxiety and daily life as a cog in the machine. Thereafter, your head will spin 360° with the sickly sticky stonker BE LIKE THIS dealing with the feelings of self-consciousness that we all deal with.
Now evacuate your living room and kick this Blue Monday in its ass…
– PANIC ATTACK –

– BE LIKE THIS –

Last Saturday, just a few hours after the election of Joe Biden, his supporter DAVE GROHL and FOO FIGHTERS premiered their brand new single SHAME SHAME on the famous Saturday Night Live TV show. Watch/listen here.
They also played a passionate and fired up version of one of their massive hits TIMES LIKE THESE. Their way to express their hope for a new, better future. Awesome song to start this new week.

To Hell With Blue Monday Here’s Mean Riff Machine CUFFED UP
2 November 2020
(pic by Ana Karotkaya via Someone Great PR)
Los Angeles’ post-punk hit team CUFFED UP knocked heavily on the gates
of noise rock last year with double A-side single Mother + SmallTown Kid.
And like many other American musicians, they also shout and scream to encourage
the people to come out and vote. They do it with a fitting, sharp-knife-cutting cover of ‘POLITICIANS IN MY EYES’ by 70s proto-punk band Death. A track originally recorded
in 1975, but released in 2009.
“At the time it was released, ‘Politicians in my Eyes’ was a challenge to the government
in place who were sending young racially diverse kids into a war they never wanted. We
covered the song because it runs parallel with our disgust and mistrust of everything the
current government administration has done and stands for. says the band.
Get ready for a rip-roaring wave of ravage riffs backed by a stormy beat,
a flaring male/female duet chorus, and an extended magnetizing guitar outro.
FUCKING #VOTE LIKE THE COUNTRY’S DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON IT (WHICH IT DOES) is the band’s loud and clear message. Time to vote that hate-preaching Trump bully out!
Turn up the decibels…
The original protest song…
