Waking Up On A Friday… With HAPPY MONDAYS
Works faster than caffeine
23 September 2022
Madchester’s 24-hour party heroes HAPPY MONDAYS released their 4th longplayer
Yes Please! 30 years ago. Talking Heads‘ couple Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth took care of the production, but not without some infamous, but not surprising Mondays incidents.
The press didn’t like what they heard. But hey, who cares about them, not me.
This record is criminally underrated according to my ears and my hips.
Anyway, it’s Friday, the run-up to a festive weekend (for me, in any case).
Nothing better than getting up with some happy funk.
Here comes the LP’s single
Stinkin Thinkin…

Happy Monday Birthday To BEZ!
18 April 2022
Mark Berry aka BEZ was born 57 years
ago, on 18 April 1964 in Salford, England.
He was/is the crazy dancing star and (now also a TV celebrity) of
Madchester legends Happy Mondays, the 24-party people who
had their golden (dope) years in the 90s. They broke up and reunite
several times and are now performing for some time again for
sell-out crowds.
Happy 57 to happy Monday BEZ!
Quote Of The Day – Happy Monday SHAUN RYDER About The 90s

24-Hour Party Expert SHAUN RYDER Knows How To Be A (Dope) Rock Star
21 May 2021
Book: HOW TO BE A ROCK STAR
About: 24-party animal expert SHAUN RYDER
Out: 7 October 2021 via Allen & Unwin
Order info: info here.
Press info: “A true rock n roll legend with a past saturated in debauchery and excess,
the former frontman of Happy Mondays and Black Grape shares jaw-dropping stories of outrageous demands, narcotic overload, and brushes with organised crime in this wickedly entertaining guide to living the hedonistic rock star life. As lead singer of Happy Mondays and Black Grape, Shaun Ryder was the Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of his generation.
A true rebel, who formed and led not one but two seminal bands, he’s had number
one albums, headlined Glastonbury, toured the world numerous times, taken every drug under the sun, been through rehab – and come out the other side as a national treasure.”
The man himself…

Wanna become an E rock star? Shaun will you tell all about it…
if he still can remember it himself.
Quote Of The Day – BEZ About The First HAPPY MONDAYS Performance At Glastonbury
Dance Floor Killer ‘STEP ON’ By HAPPY MONDAYS Turned 30 In 2020
Top singles from the past…
31 December 2020
Of all classic crackers that celebrated a birthday this year, and were featured here,
Turn The Volume picked STEP ON by HAPPY MONDAYS, released 30 years ago
this year, as the cracking cracker of all 2020 crackers.
Why? This is the dance floor killer I moved to in mysterious ways
for years now and will do so tonight (New Year’s Eve).
It was actually a reworked version of 1971 hit He’s Gonna Step On You Again by
South-Africa born, Greek singer and songwriter John Kongos (listen/watch below)
Released: April 1990 – 30 years ago
Producer: Sound wizard Paul Oakenfold
Score: No 5 in the UK
Album: Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches
Third LP, released 5 November 1990
Shaun Ryder about the track: “It was fluke. We thought, this is the last thing we need! They sent over a tape with lots of songs from the back catalogue of Elektra. So we stuck the tape on and Step On was either first or second on the tape. We said, right – that’ll do!”
