It's the third Monday of January. Apparently one of the most depressing days of the year. I love songs with a depressing slant. I love wallowing. Let's make a playlist of 'blue monday bangers' and songs which some might say are ''down'' but you find uplifting (especially as the Winter Solstice one was so good: http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4316371 )
