All things Depeche Mode

[captncrzy]

They couldn't do the Ultra tour because of Dave's "issues".

Dave: "There are already plans in place to be touring next year."

Really digging VCMG! Very tech-yes

[Cookieman908]

I'm surprised nobody has started a new Depeche Mode thread yet. What's the holdup?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Why do we have to start a new one when we have this one? What's everyone's obsession with starting new threads? Who the fuck cares what date is in the title?

[Cookieman908]

Fine, it can wait. But I insist on a new thread once the new LP's title is announced.

[sbessiso]

no, we definitely need a new thead. Ive been trying to think of a good title that would be all encompassing, not just referring to the new album. So we dont have to keep starting new ones

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

"The Dave and Martin Sexy Time Thread?"

[Somewhat Damaged]

I'm obviously biased but I think Jen should be the creator of the next Depeche Mode thread. She'll probably be able to come up with a fitting title.

[suprefan]

The next thread will be started when DM actually announces the name of the next album.

[amyzzz]

I'm an older fan than Jen.

[suprefan]

We dont give a shit.

[jazzz]

Very exciting news! Apart from catching most of their California shows I usually plan vacations in E. Europe or S. America when they tour there for an added bonus. So much fun watching people in those parts go ape shit when they come to town!

[captncrzy]

Don't see the point of starting a new thread. I'll just shoot Erik an email and ask him to change the title of this one. Problem solved.

Also, jazzz, I'm pretty sure (like in the 90% range) that DM will be headlining Bestival next year. We're planning on that one...very excited to experience my first UK Depeche show.

[jazzz]

Nice! If I make it there (UK) I will definitely let you guys know or if I make it to the Phoenix gig we should plan pre-party beers.

Also Santa Barbara was a blast! The pub where Martin djs had a great before and after party going on last time.

[amyzzz]

Yay new thread title.

[lehorne]

first album I heard by them was Ultra when it came out, which was amazing. A Christmas present from Jon Brown of Circuit City. Fun Facts.

[JustSteve]

i was thinking something along the lines of "à la (depeche) mode" or " à la D-Mode" for the title. yes i was eating desert.

[amyzzz]

Happy Birthday to Dave Gahan today! Holy crap he's 50.

[captncrzy]

I need Mike or someone to pull every string they've got when this next tour rolls around. I ABSOLUTELY MUST MEET DAVE BEFORE THEY RETIRE/I DIE.

[JorgeC]

Happy Birthday Dave!!

[amyzzz]

I need Mike or someone to pull every string they've got when this next tour rolls around. I ABSOLUTELY MUST MEET DAVE BEFORE THEY RETIRE/I DIE.

Me too! Can I be with you??? I would love to meet Dave and/or Martin!

[matildawong]

I'm still so bummed from when they cancelled the San Diego show. I had a seat up front and in the middle. I need to see them again, too.

A previously unreleased SOFAD-era promo reel. A very heroin chic Dave is interviewed in front of a bunch of candles.

Dave Gahan's collab with SoulSavers





Also, Martin dug the synthesizer thing on the Google homepage today, apparently.

Why so shy, Dave?

LOL at the lipsynching

[CrimesceneCookie]

You gotta admit that was a wicked haircut. At least I thought so in 1986..

I wish they all *still* rocked those haircuts. Dayum!

[amyzzz]

Dave really needs a popped collar to match that hair.
