Depeche Mode's "Stripped" is still one of the coolest songs in the history of ever.

i don't know if i ever heard that song, so will play it at blip. mostly what i remember from them is People Are People. oh, and Personal Jesus, of course!

[daisydumont.livejournal.com]

ok, i gave it a listen. then i played smashing pumpkins' cover of Never Let Me Down Again. whee!

Hee! It still amuses me that "Personal Jesus" was covered by both Marilyn Manson and Johnny Cash.

"Stripped" was on the album Black Celebration, which also featured WHFS favorites like "Fly on the Windscreen," "A Question of Lust" and "A Question of Time." That may have been right around the time you stopped listening to pop music, I'm not sure.

I am so glad I wasn't drinking tea when I read this. I hate getting hot beverages up my nose.

rammstein covered a depeche mode song?! that i have to hear.

[daisydumont.livejournal.com]

yeah, and MM sang the hell out of it, so to say. ahem.

ok, yes, i bet you're right about timing. i tuned out in the latter '80s, for about a decade!

after listening to a bit of rammstein's cover of Stripped, i'm now blipping something really incongruous: "Rammstein + Pet Shop Boys = Mein Teil (You Are What You Eat edit by Pet Shop Boys)." talk about your collision of styles.

O/T I heard there was a bad commuter train wreck in MD today, just hoping you weren't on the train.

I'm okay, Buddy. Wasn't riding Metro today. Thanks for asking!

I wish I had your copious library! Well, I wish I had my own copious library--wouldn't want to deprive you of any of your music.
