Halo examines Depeche Mode's iconic album Violator. Inside story, excl interviews. Authors @kevinlukemay @davidjmcelroy... Avail NOW in English/German via link.
Interesting interview with Anton for the @LoudAndQuietMag Midnight Chats podcast... Lots of stuff about his career with artists such as @depechemode and later foray into directing for the big screen... https://t.co/eo83jGOXza
It's very sad to hear that photographer and Depeche Mode sleeve designer Brian Griffin has passed away. In 2016, I interviewed him as part of a month long Black Celebration special. Here is that interview. RIP Brian.

Today marks 10 years of the Depeche Mode Live Wiki. Thanks to all the contributors and visitors over the years! What's your favorite part of the wiki, and what do you feel be improved upon (other than the obvious couple incomplete tours)?
Here it is.... 🌹 🎬... Co-author @davidjmcelroy reviews the long-awaited DVD release of Strange and Strange Too for his @almostprdalmost blog...

Enjoy The Silence, 1920s jazz cover version - nice to see some very talented musicians come up with a very different take on the @depechemode classic... https://t.co/KMcXR1WEUW
"Depeche Mode Day" is coming to Los Angeles on December 13, courtesy of a declaration by a local councilwoman!! Come on, Basildon, you know it makes sense 😃... https://t.co/Bo894W0pJa
Get your fix of @DepecheMode's legendary at Crystal Palace in 1993 on the SOFAD... Ten tracks, superbly recorded and available via @BBCSounds for another 24 days (Brit access only, we fear)... https://t.co/yHtRvv5bLn
@oneplanetmikey Ooooh 😜... SOFAD is an amazing album but is EVERY song 10/10? Hummmm... Also, some tracks only came to life in live performance (Get Right With Me, Mercy In You, Higher Love). The era, however, does have DM's best B-side: My Joy (according to, as ever, @kevinlukemay 🙄).
Has @depechemode had its music used in a Christmas shopping ad before? @waitrose unveils its "Just Can't Get Enough"-led TV and video campaign... https://t.co/WATDaRqXgm
Sidenote: in our book, we talked to many people involved in Strange Too, incl one of the dancers from Halo, Martin's "companion" on Clean, the family that owned the drive-thru and, of course, Richard Bell who produced all the videos on Strange Too and its predecessor Strange ;)
Strange/Strange Too is coming to DVD and Blu-ray for the first time ever. Newly restored from original sources. Includes 11 music videos + 6 previously unreleased outtake "vignettes", plus new artwork and liner notes by Anton Corbijn. Out December 8th.

Another outstanding album, to this day still one of my top 10. It seems my musical tastes are routed in the early 90’s. On that note, do buy @HALOBook 😀
Had to happen didn’t it. Despite actually writing an article saying I wouldn’t buy this (https://t.co/MVxJ2IOtZP) here it is anyway. I’m a weak man #DepecheMode
Don’t be sad about the end of the tour... why Depeche Mode fans will have an easier time than others with their laundry when they get home. #blackswarm#globalspirittour
