“Never Let Me Down Again” (2005) is a beautiful short film by the French filmmaker Vincent Moon (Mathieu Saura), who was an original co-creator of La Blogotheque’s Take Away Shows Project. Moon perfected an immediately recognizable style of intimate, fragile, dancing and shadowy long shots, which changed the whole idea of what a music video could be like. In this work, Moon’s images are married to the captivating music of Sylvain Chauveau, who pays acoustic tribute here to Depeche Mode. The result can be something strange and mysterious for the viewer, a new kind of musical experience. Moon’s surrealistic creation leads one into a territory between dream and reality. Again and again…. Again and again….
This piece includes colorful illustrations, as well as the fascinating short film.

They're all involved in one of the craziest lawsuits you've ever heard of.
San Jose gamer Erik Estavillo is suing World of Warcraft makers because their popular MMPORG is a "harmful virtual environment" that may cause alienation.
To prove this point, the gamer is casting a few celebrities that might help him out.
Estavillo has subpoeanaed Depeche Mode's Martin L. Gore "since he himself has been known to be sad, lonely, and alienated, as can be seen in the songs he writes." He also called Winona Ryder to testify because her appreciation for Catcher in the Rye will make her a relevant witness "to how alienation in the book can tie to alienation in real live [sic]/video games such as World of Warcraft."
The gamer is asking for $1 million in punitive damages. Good luck!

Depeche Mode are certainly not stranger to superstar DJs and producers remixing their tracks,
from Goldfrapp and DJ Shadow to Air, but the latest in the line of remixers could 'turn out different from any that came before.'
On the Sigur Rós website, frontman Jon Þor "Jónsi" Birgisson revealed he has remixed "Come Back", a collaboration that will no doubt bring up a rather special relick and will be exclusively released on the 7" vinyl release of Depeche's forthcoming "Peace" single.
And in other Depeche news, MGMT have reportedly been remixing the track "Fragile Tension" for one CD version of the "Peace" single, with other remixers including Justus Köhncke and Hervé!Depeche Mode are certainly not stranger to superstar DJs and producers remixing their... more

Two years after disappointing local fans by canceling its concert due to the Second Lebanon War, British pop trio Depeche Mode will kick off next year's world tour with a May date in Israel.
Tomorrow, the group is set to convene a press conference at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin to officially announce its 2009 tour schedule.
Marek Lieberberg, the band's promoter in Germany, told a German fan Web site in August that the trio would kick off their 2009 world tour in Israel, and word soon spread across Israeli fan forums.Likewise, keyboardist Andrew Fletcher said during his solo D.J. performance at Tel Aviv's "Theater Club" last year that the band and its managers were interested in compensating fans for the 2006 cancellation.
Sources in the entertainment industry say that Israeli impresario Shuki Weiss, who was slated to produce the 2006 performance and reportedly lost millions with its cancellation, will be involved in next year's show, which will likely be held at either Ramat Gan National Stadium or Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park.
In 2006, promoters insisted the concert would go ahead as planned until just two days prior, when they announced that members of the technical staff were refusing to make the trip. Some 45,000 tickets had already been sold, a similar turnout to last week's Paul McCartney performance.
In a recent interview with TheMarker, Weiss said that the concert was not covered by insurance and that he was forced to compensate production staff and fans from his own pocket. Tickets for that performance cost about NIS 300.
Depeche Mode, founded in 1977 in Basildon, Essex by Fletcher, vocalist Dave Gahan and keyboardist Martin Gore, was one of the most successful and influential groups to have emerged from the 1980s New Wave era of electronic music. The group has sold over 72 million albums worldwide.
The group's local fan base is one of the widest in Israel, including several thousand admirers who meet regularly for band-related events. Yifal Bistri, 30, is a Depeche Mode fan from Tel Aviv. In his apartment hangs the promotional poster of the show that never was.
"The music itself is simple, but it shows sophistication and development between the albums.
"For almost 30 years, the band was able to renew itself," says Bistri, one of 200 Israeli fans who traveled to Turkey in 2001 to catch a glimpse of the trio.
"As for many other people, the concert that was supposed to be held seemed like a ray of light for me during the war, something to look forward to," he said, describing its later cancellation as a "tragedy."
Bistri is optimistic that this time around things will be different. "Fingers crossed," he said.Two years after disappointing local fans by canceling its concert due to the Second... more
