A Very Unhappy Blue Monday to You...

A scientist somewhere (probably Finland or Norway) figured out an equation for the most depressing day of the year, which always seems to fall on a Monday in January. This is Blue Monday. Apparently, the scientist was also a New Order fan.  For 2012, it's tomorrow, January 23. In all honesty, I think that mine was last week, so either his equation was off or I'm just ahead of the curve. Yeah, me.

Anyway, to celebrate... well, more to commiserate, I made this lovely, dark New Wave inspired mix to get you through the day. At the bottom of the page, I tried out an Amazon Mp3 clips widget, so you guys will have to let me know how it works. And if you know of any better way to post a playable mixtape, please let me know. Anyway, enjoy.
