I finally got my uber-ultra-super-fantastic mega deluxe version of Pearl Jam’s Ten in the mail today. It comes with the album, the remixed album, b-sides and rare cuts, a live concert from 1992 (on vinyl), a DVD of their unplugged performance, a cassette tape of Eddie’s audition tape, memorabilia, posters, books, photos and the kitchen sink. So I’ll be enveloped in that motherfucker for the next week or so. I plan on making a massive Pearl Jam post sometime this week or the next, which will include some stuff that’s exclusive to the huge box set as well other assorted Ten-era material that was left off the set and is still rare. Until then here’s a bunch of Depeche Mode songs.

In anticipation of Sounds Of The Universe I figured I’d get back to my ever-delayed Depeche Mode clearinghouse, posting the various DM tracks that I never got around to putting up. These are from various CD and 12” vinyl singles. I actually just found out I’m reviewing their new album and I’m pretty stoked. I’ve never gotten to review one of their records and I think we can all agree I’m more than qualified.
I once got lucky, when I was doing music journalism freelance, to interview Vince Clarke for the Erasure Erasure album…he was such a nice guy…I have all the DM a person could ever want…but I’m glad they’re still around making music. I hope the album is decent at least. I pretty much like whatever they do…even if some songs have to grow on me.
I’ve just had “Depeche Mode week” on my blog so have a gander if you’re at a loose end.
PS, cheers!
Oh, often angry dude: do people ever stop to give you thanks for doing all this? You have rekindled my old fondness for the obscure and opened my eyes to some new pleasures. Depeche Mode went from being ‘that band that must suck because my sister bought their tape and what the fuck does she know about anything?’ to ‘that kind of awesome band, the talents of which for the most part must of went over my sister’s head, because she doesn’t know shit about shit.’ Thanks for that.

Depeche Mode rule. Violator is still one of the finest albums ever recorded. “Waiting for the Night to Fall” does funny things to me.
Truly appreciate all the epic music you put up on here. You rock sir!
