Always a great conversation starter.

*Depeche Mode.*

And Hinds and Buzzy Lee and Paul Russell, more recently.  I’d name Ethel Cain, but her stuff typically isn’t stuff you can dance to.

The funny thing is that I myself dance exactly like the girl pictured.



“You can’t change the world, but you can change the facts.”

You can’t change the world,
But you can change the facts.
And when you change the facts,
You change points of view.
If you change points of view,
You may change a vote.
And when you change a vote,
You may change the world.

— from Depeche Mode’s “New Dress,” 1986

Throwback Thursday: Depeche Mode’s “Blue Dress” (1990)

This is just a deep cut from Depeche Mode’s 1990 “Violator” album.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone mention “Blue Dress” as one of their favorite DM songs, but I still think it’s a great, moody techno ballad.

Rest in peace, Andrew “Fletch” Fletcher — who died a week ago today at age 60.
