I never really considered myself a fan on Depeche Mode — they just have this aura of ‘pop Euro-trash’ about them, I think. But the other night I happened across a TV show documenting their career.
It turns out that I know, and like, more of their songs than I thought I did — dating all the way back to when I was in high school.
Their latest single, Wrong, is the first from their most recent studio album, 2009’s Sounds of the Universe. While they band members have got to be well into their 90’s at this point (kidding), they still manage to produce a classic Depeche Mode sound, yet wrapped in a cloak of modern post-electronica that still resonates in today’s music scene.
It seems that I stand corrected … this is some pretty good shit.

Have you heard Johnny Cash’s cover of Personal Jesus? He kills it and makes it his own, takes all that eurotrash cheese and gives it some balls. There’s videos for it on youtube.
