The guys from Black Light Odyssey have always been great to us here at HOME and when I found out they were playing in San Francisco supporting Cause & Effect… I had to go. Add to that I am a big C&E fan too, so I was really excited to see the show. I thought I would put up some pictures, videos, and thoughts from the show.
The tracklist for the U2 cover album that Depeche Mode are apart of has been released today with a stellar line up! Are they really calling the cover album “AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered” though? Well, that aside.. the tribute to the 1991 Achtung Baby has been put together by Q Magazine and also features Nine Inch Nails, The Killers, Garbage, Pattie Smith, Snow Patrol, and more. Cover and full tracklist after the jump!
30 years ago today Depeche Mode’s first album Speak & Spell was released! Quite a landmark for any band, but especially a band who have been able to stay together, stay consistent, and most importantly… stay relevant. While some, if not most, of their peers who released records in this era are gone, Depeche Mode have gone on to be and stay one of the biggest and massively influential bands today and we celebrate that more than an anniversary of just one specific record. Some bands are playing reunion tours and the Mode fans are waiting for the next record and tour! Congrats on the anniversary fellas, but the studio is a calling and we’re waiting for the new music!
