Everything Counts is from the album Construction Time Again (1983), the album in which Depeche Mode dropped the light synth-pop of the early years and immersed itself in a more experimental and industrial sound, with samples of everyday objects (hammering, metal, construction sounds).
Produced by Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones, the track was recorded in London and mixed in Berlin (at Hansa Studios), marking the beginning of the band's darkest and most ambitious phase.
Released as the first single from the album, it was one of their biggest hits so far: it reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart.
Daft Punk didn’t just score TRON: LEGACY (2010). They spent two years crafting the soundtrack, blending electronic music with an 85-piece orchestra to give the Grid a timeless, operatic scale.
Twenty years ago today, David Gilmour played the first of three shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, with a very special guest appearance for Comfortably Numb from David Bowie, in what sadly turned out to be Bowie's final ever appearance on a UK stage.
On Sunday at 5pm BST / 12noon ET / 6pm CET, the entire show, released as Remember That Night, will premiere on David's YouTube (where you can watch the full performance of Comfortably Numb now).
Charlie Sheen says he smoked 24 miles worth of cigarettes over 33 years at 2-3 packs a day
"I smoked for 33 years and I started on Platoon because Oliver Stone wanted the character to smoke"
"There’s 20 in a pack, they're 3 inches, and if you line them up tip to tip, that's 24 and a half miles of cigarettes"
"I smoked a marathon and never ran one"
@matteopelleg What would be the right question to ask American who lives in Italy?
Most of them I know are terrified of the idea that eventually they’ll have to go back to the States
