man, there have been some awesome
responses to my 'goth' blog...
thank you all!
but, it is clarification time...

i didn't JUST discover depeche mode
i have been listening to them for 20 years.
i was just stating that i didn't listen to them
as a kid...i wrote the blog in a moment of
appreciating their greatness. not discovering it.
cause as much as i would like it to be different,
it was definitely more than 20 years ago when
i could safely be considered a kid...
cool...
i just had to defend my music nerd credibility
there for a second

i'm having a depeche mode morning.
it started late last night...
so technically, i'm having a depeche mode half day.

right now, i have all their CD reissues spread out in the kitchen.
i'm eating breakfast, listening to 'black celebration'
and wondering how i let myself miss this music
the first time around...
i think i just had a narrow view of greatness at the time.
plus, if your thing is van halen and def leppard...
depeche mode just do not rock enough.
neither do the smiths.
or echo & the bunnymen.
or the cocteau twins...
and since i didn't really understand the importance of
melody in songs until about a year and a half ago...
this kind of music held very little for me as a kid.
