happy mondays

step on.

Two for monday from Tony Wilson's Factory, and both produced by Paul Oakenfold & Steve Osborne. Shaun Ryder never sounded so good. A much brighter intellect than his media hyped "thug" status suggests, Ryder was once married to my fellow Glaswegian Donovan Phillips Leitch's daughter, Oriole. Robert Plant famously implored one and all to squeeze his lemon, but you'd have to twist Mr. Ryder's melon, apparently, just to get a reaction.

This post's for Steve \m/ from Morningside Heights, NYC & Afghanistan. Play safe!
