Awesome vid.

I know Em says this album sucks, but I love this song and video. Dark and brilliant and a commentary on his struggle.

I think...

...this is quite possibly one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched. It probably helps that I'm from repressed Appalachia/the South. But it's lovely to me.

Why Gahan Gets It.

I don't know that anyone in entertainment has so fully immersed him or herself in the deepest pits of debauchery and blackness and has emerged as amazingly reflective and implicitly conflicted about it as Dave Gahan. He is strong; he wants to walk the steady path, but his work--lyrically and visually--points to what I believe is a deep longing to get back to those horrible but illuminating moments, and a marveling that even he can't believe sometimes that he lived through it it all. Goddamn, his work only gets more interesting.

I'm not an ex-heroin addict who actually died a number of times--like Gahan did--but so much of what I see in his life resonates.

Great interviews:
Sentimentalist Mag

The Observer
Great videos:

Pictures of You.

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Sweet (and fun!) release.

For various reasons, the past couple of days have blown serious chunks. So, I figure it's time to make myself feel better:



Now, back to my studies.

Beautiful and complicated.

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Best of You.
