Blessed is the Britpop cheesemaker
How does it feel to eat me like you do? The Blur bass guitarist-turned-farmer Alex James is making a cheese named Blue Monday.
After his award-winning milk curdling with "Little Wallops" – a mild, lemony goats' cheese wrapped in vine leaves – James, above, has begun production at his farm in the Cotswolds, on a 12-inch, blue-veined fromage.
"Blue Monday" was a 1983 totemic dance-pop number by New Order, memorable for Bernard Sumner's acid-influenced deadpan lyrics. Although this is the biggest-selling 12-inch single ever, the expense of the flashy sleeve artwork meant that every record sold lost money.
Mercifully, James has done his sums, and resisted extending the influence of New Order to pumping his product full of LSD. He is also adding a lamb pudding to his range of fine fare.
!!!STOP IT!!!!
