Yesterday, May 26, was the fourth anniversary of the passing of Andrew Fletcher, co-founder of Depeche Mode. I think it is pretty clear the effect that Depeche Mode has had on me and my life , so in remembrance of Fletch's passing, I played Violator in its entirety, because though he was a part of all of their albums (except for Memento Mori for obvious reasons), it is well-documented that the lead track from Violator , "World In My Eyes," was his favorite Depeche Mode song. We miss you, Fletch! (I mean, how can you not love that opening synth line?) Happy Wednesday!
