Assuming it stays down today, longer Dow losing streak since the Carter administration.

this story is click bait for those who don't understand markets and math


 the blue chips are up by 16% so far this year.


also....Instead, Saglimbene said, the recent losses represents some profit-taking after steep gains in recent weeks.

How New Order survived this I'll never know... might also make hutch question his fandom

Rocking Carol / Song Of Joy - a flexi given away at the Hacienda in 1982

https://youtu.be/_wZj5cXCsKU

Everyone was doing A LOT OF DRUGS is my only defense here
wow, that is insanely bad and kinda creepy
no bass line, so can't blame hooky for this

Had to check the date, but this is for real
https://new-order.fandom.com/wiki/Rocking_Carol

actually recorded in 1981 for a TV show
https://sonicmoremusic.wordpress.com/2015/12/23/its-christmas-time-with-new-order-rocking-carol-ode-to-joy/


"December 24, 1982
NEW ORDER provide their fans with a little holiday music for patrons of the Hacienda this Christmas eve.
They've recorded a special flexi of “Rocking Carol” and their version of Beethoven's “Freude Schoener Gotterfunken (Song of Joy).” Only 4,400 were pressed up by Factory Records and all were given away in a rubber stamped bad that also had a party hat, some streamers, a bit of candy and a whistle. Although the band is not identified on the label, it does say, “Merry Xmas and Good Will
to All Members."
