Info
The Fine Art of Surfacing was The Boomtown Rats' third album and contained the hit-single releases, I Don't Like Mondays, Diamond Smiles and Someone's Looking at You. The album peaked at No. 7 in the UK Albums Chart in 1979. I Don't Like Mondays bw It's All the Rage was released in July 1979 and reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in late July in the UK in the same year. The song refers to Brenda Ann Spencer's killing spree on Monday, 29 January 1979 in San Diego, California. Chock-full of new wave charisma and tamed by Bob Geldof's upfront wit, The Fine Art of Surfacing is novel in both its lyrical flair and modern pounce. Made famous by the colorful history of I Don't Like Mondays, a true story about a 16-year-old girl who shot 11 people without showing any remorse, The Fine Art of Surfacing switches gears from this song's well-crafted harshness to the hectic pace of tracks such as Nice N' Neat and Sleep, among others.
