New Depeche Mode Video (Directed By Eric Wareheim) - "Hole To Feed"

Eric Wareheim directed a music video for Depeche Mode, and needless to say, it is gross. And NSFW. But perfect for alternative-future-underage-carnival-band fetishists who engage in aggressive athletic FACE FUCKING. ...

Depeche Mode/Peter Bjorn & John @ Santa Barbara Bowl, Santa Barbara 8/20/09

This is a special Depeche Mode photo set Andrew Youssef delivered: there are no photos of Dave Gahan with his shirt off! Increyable. The singer's recent illness forced the band to cancel a spate of dates, so chalk it up... CONTINUE READING DEPECHE MODE/PETER BJORN & JOHN @ SANTA BARBARA BOWL, SANTA BARBARA 8/20/09»

Lollapalooza 2009 Wrap-Up

If you weren't talking about the weather in Grant Park this weekend, you weren't in Grant Park this weekend. And really that would've been a shame. It was oppressive at times, but despite -- or as these things go, perhaps... CONTINUE READING LOLLAPALOOZA 2009 WRAP-UP»

Sigur Rós, Not MGMT Remix Depeche Mode

It's unclear if Depeche Mode made the shift because they realized they were "Wrong" to mix and match songs on a single or because they wanted to replace psychedelic college rock with something more befitting "Peace." What we do know... CONTINUE READING SIGUR RóS, NOT MGMT REMIX DEPECHE MODE»

New Depeche Mode Video - "Peace"

Pairing the "Peace will come to me" refrain with opening images of an androgynous beauty in uniform, Depeche Mode's video for "Peace" appears to be headed down a heavy-handed militarily metaphorical road from the start. Which is so not as... CONTINUE READING NEW DEPECHE MODE VIDEO - "PEACE"»

Depeche Mode Bring The Old And The New To Kimmel

New M83 Video - "We Own The Sky"

Call it fansourcing, call it laziness, but the "make our music video!" press releases that flood Stereogum's inbox make me yearn for the days of "Scream." Of course labels have no money and MTV/VH1 only programs videos for insomniacs, so... CONTINUE READING NEW M83 VIDEO - "WE OWN THE SKY"»

New Depeche Mode - "Come Back"

"Come Back" isn't as immediately compelling (or accusatory) as our first taste of Sounds Of The Universe, but the drifting, downcast song offers a nice contrast to "Wrong"'s throttled industrial-line angst. What we have here is the band in a... CONTINUE READING NEW DEPECHE MODE - "COME BACK" »

Depeche Mode Debut "Wrong" At Echo Awards

Last year we saw David Gahan solo and then this past January with frYars, but he's always made most sense fronting Depeche Mode, which is where you'll find him in this clip. The band's 12th studio album Sounds Of The... CONTINUE READING DEPECHE MODE DEBUT "WRONG" AT ECHO AWARDS»

New Dave Gahan Video - "Saw Something"

Readers found themselves in a Depeche mode for Dave Gahan's ominous, flickering "Kingdom" video and "Digitalism" instrumental, calling the material some of his best work in years.

New Dave Gahan Video - "Kingdom" (And Digitalism Instrumental Remix)

We've definitely been in a Depeche mode lately: First Hillary Duff appropriated 'em, then Division Day covered 'em, and now DM frontman Dave Gahan's back with his second solo album Hourglass.

Division Day Cover Depeche Mode

Since we've been in a Depeche sorta mode thanks to Hilary's (military) fatigued karaoke act, thought it'd be nice to round out the Gahan love with something more palatable. And just like that, out pops Division Day's take on "Enjoy... CONTINUE READING DIVISION DAY COVER DEPECHE MODE»

Hilary Duff Appropriates Depeche Mode On New Single "Reach Out"
