According Wikipedia, the song reached #13 on the UK Singles Chart, #28 on the Billboard Hot 100, and in 2004 was ranked #368 in Rolling Stone’s...

Dark Young Hearts is the debut album from frYars (Ben Garrett), a young Londoner with a promising future. The album offers a diverse blend of both genres and themes from alternative, pop and the darker side of electro. Although some might assume that an album attempting so much by someone so young may not deliver all it promises, thankfully frYars has created an album with depth that is both refreshing...

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive In 2004, before Nouvelle Vague co-founder Marc Collin knew there'd be a market for his jazzy lounge-pop remakes of old New Wave tunes, the French producer and musician had little reason to believe he'd ever work with his post-punk heroes. "It's really ambitious to think, 'We're going to do some covers, and we're going to ask the [the original artists]...

I can't believe noone has already started this thread. I've just got round to watching it and have to say I really enjoyed it though was a bit disappointed as I'd thought it was the usual 3-parter rather than a one-off. It certainly took me back to the late 70s/early 80s, which suddenly seemed soooo long ago and a bit bleak. And didn't people look so young - Depeche Mode looked about 12, especially...

Last night the BBC aired a show that demonstrates what they are really good at, making shows that have no real commercial value, but are essential programme making. The show was not some expose of political corruption, or a look into 15th century Italian architecture (although these are just as likely to be made by the BBC) but Synth Britannia . Often these shows have an hour of inane clips of all...

A couple of days ago, Depeche Mode was in Peru, performing in front of a 3,000 strong audience at the Explanada del Estadio Monumental. At the end of the show, after the band performed “Never Let Me Down Again,” frontman Dave Gahan yelled in the microphone something that sounded like “Thank you very much, Chile!” which understandably upset many. The thing is, as Daniel Barassi,...

At a recent stop in Peru, Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan had a total Spinal Tap moment; he shouted out "Thank you very much Chile." In fairness, most people couldn't pick Peru from Chile, or tell the difference between chili, Chilli (from TLC), Chili's (the restaurant) or Chile, so it's understandable. Also, Lima, where Depeche Mode were performing, is only like a few hundred miles from...

A humble message to Depeche Mode 's tour manager -- perhaps frontman Dave Gahan needs a little geography refresher whilst out on the road? Gahan managed to put his foot in it in front of 30,000 Peruvian fans during the band's show in the country's capital Lima on Tuesday night when he yelled out "Thank you very much, Chile!" It's a little more serious than getting the name of a mid-Western...
