Depeche Mode "Insight"

I could go on and on posting Depeche Mode tracks, but this is not a Depeche Mode blog. So, if you're a reader/listener/visitor to my small corner of the internet, thank you for stopping by and humoring me as I dedicated this birthday week to my favorite band of all time.

This track is pulling double duty.

First off, it's not one of the singles from this album, so again, unless you're a hardcore fan you may not be familiar with it. But again, the "mission statement" of this blog is to highlight those tracks that are indeed fire, but maybe not immediately obviously so.

This isn't "Barrel of a Gun," "It's No Good," "Home," nor "Useless," which are fantastic tracks, but in my personal opinion, this track is just as good.

I hear it as incredibly raw and vulnerable, flat out telling the listener that this is an "insight into my life." That feeling of exposure is the "strange flight" that Gore pens. Letting someone in, allowing them to know into who you are, I mean, who you really are, can be jarring.

And readers, that's what I've done here, to a degree. I've given you an insight into a bit of who I am during this week.

Yes, I love Depeche Mode, that much is clear, but of the five tracks I posted only two were hits: "People Are People" and "Personal Jesus."

There are many facets as to why I am a Depeche Mode fan, so sharing with you a b-side and two lesser known tracks maybe gives you some idea of the kind of music fan I am.

Stick around, you'll learn much more about my musical tates in the days/weeks/months to come.

Here's to 52!

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Black Sabbath "War Pigs"

Sadly, just a bit ago, Ozzy Osbourne passed , having only recently staged his farewell concert with the other surviving members of Black Sabbath. While I admit that I am far from a metal-head, I certainly respect Ozzy's contribution to music in general, and metal in particular. They were the marred and tarnished flipside of the coin to their peers, Led Zeppelin, and yet, no one else was like them. No one else could be Black Sabbath, and certainly, no one else could have been Ozzy Osbourne. Rest in Peace, Ozzy. Note: I typically post links to music Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, but made an exception this morning for a programming note to highlight Bandcamp Friday. Tomorrow I will continue posting links to music you can find there, but if anyone deserved to be part of an exception, it was definitely Ozzy.

Nine Inch Nails "Closer" (B Stage Remix w/Boys Noize)

At 30+ years old I think we can all agree that "Closer" was a hit that was about as perfect as it could have been, and has since become a classic. But ever since I saw NIN in Detroit, and even before, thanks to YouTube, I have been obsessed with this remix of the track. I thought maybe that would fade, but here we are weeks later and I am still impressed with not only the audacity to rework such a well-known, iconic song, but I'm equally astounding as to how well it works. And now, with the Coachella lineup announced (see above as well), it's obvious that this NIN/Boys Noize collaboration is going to continue as Nine Inch Noize. Personally, I love it, and am hopeful to get an official release of this version so I can buy it and listen to it to my heart's content. Welcome to Monday! Enjoy!

Nitzer Ebb "Getting Closer"

When I posted earlier today about Brian Wilson I didn't think that I would be making a second exception so soon, let alone just a few hours later. Sadness... We all have those songs that when we throw them on we instantly get pumped up. For me, "Getting Closer" is one of those seminal songs. I first heard of Nitzer Ebb when I saw them on the ticket that I purchased for my first concert: Depeche Mode at Pine Knob in 1990. I had no idea what "Nitzer Ebb" meant, but after talking to anyone who might have known I found out they were an EBM band from the UK, and were lablemates of Depeche Mode on Mute Records. They had just released their album Showtime and would be supporting DM on their "World Violation" tour that summer. This was in the decades well before streaming, so if you wanted to check a new band out you had to actually buy their album, or in my case, their CD. So, I did. 35 years later "Getting Closer," as well as "Fun To Be Had...

This Track Is Fire!
