Following Up With Depeche Mode
According to www.depeche-mode.com, Depeche Mode will have Ben Hillier again as their producer on the forthcoming album. Hillier, who has worked with the likes of U2, Smashing Pumpkins and many more bands was also responsible for the production on the most recent studio output of Depeche Mode, “Playing The Angel“. The new Depeche Mode album should be ready by the end of this year with a scheduled Spring 2009 release.
The band had a meeting in Santa Barbara just before Easter, and during which they made a rough time line and listened to a few demos. The first recording sessions are expected to kick off in early May.
In related news Billboard announced that Depeche Mode’s manager Baron Kessler has joined up with Coldplay’s manager Dave Holmes to form Good Boy Productions. The first project of Good Boy Productions will be a Canadian festival called Pemberton Festival.
In the meantime Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) is again trying to stop the old rumor that his heroin and cocaine drug overdose in 1996 was a suicide attempt. Gahan was pronounced clinically dead after combining the drugs - known as a speedball - in a Los Angeles hotel room. He was revived by paramedics and survived. Gahan, 45, tells Hustler magazine that is was no suicide attempt:
“I’m painfully aware that was not what I was trying to do. All I was trying to do was disappear for a while, and that became a lost weekend…What I thought I wanted to do in my life was escape constantly from whatever it was that was going on. That is not the case anymore. I’m here and I really enjoy the challenge of [my] life.”
Gahan, on a side note, didn’t you ever hear the saying “Drugs are bad… mmmmmkay?!” I mean if fictional drawn characters know this.. what the hell is your problem mate? Then again, you have been away from drugs supposedly for quite some time now so keep it up. However, if you do go back.. don’t fricking mix them. The Hair Bands should have taught you that.
Also, I’m not condoning the use of drugs incase any of you Industrial Lovers are confused. I’m merely stating that if you are going to do drugs, don’t increase your chances of dying by being even more stupid.
As Always, Here is A Fix.
