Not New Depeche Mode!

Well, trying to replicate the late success of the Stones and other bands is achievable, but it doesn't mean that a band should do so.  Go away gracefully, like Oingo Boingo (however, if they came to the Casino for a cheap reunion tour, I would be first in line).

That being said, Depeche Mode is releasing a new album in a couple of weeks.  You can hear it streaming on iTunes right now.  I listened to the first couple of tracks, found myself washed in "Meh."

So, I can't actually subject you to that.  I can, however, give you a cut off of Martin Gore's solo album Counterfeit:  In a Matter of Speaking.  Aaah, what the Emo kids don't know.  So sad.  Plath-ian, even.

Nice, classic, 80's angsty Goth rock.  I'm going to give it a shout out by wearing neon pants today.  And Vans.  Sounds like a good day.
