Blue Monday Owners Club
bluemondayownersclub.com
Why should it only be people with classic cars who get their own exclusive owners' clubs? How about one for those of us who own FAC73? Blue Monday by New Order is the bestselling 12" single of all time - nearly 3 million were sold but it famously lost the band and record label money due to the high cost of the floppy disc mimicking sleeve by Peter Saville. "Whenever I see a copy of Blue Monday in a charity shop or at a boot sale, I have to buy it. I can't bear the thought that it might otherwise get thrown out," writes Spencer Graham, whose aim is to unite all owners of this vinyl masterpiece by inviting them to send in photos with their copy. Let's all meet on a beach and tell each other how it feels.

Zodiac

The new film from David Fincher, director of Se7en and Fight Club, is based on the unsolved crimes of the Zodiac, a 1960s serial killer who taunted San Francisco authorities with ciphers and letters and based his killings on silent movies. Along with the usual trailers and photos, this site has a crime scene section where surfers can fulfill their CSI fantasies by zooming in on murder sites and investigating the clues left behind, plus the Timeline section with newspaper clippings, letters, postcards and actual case files used by the investigators.
