Well, Johnny has also covered songs by Soundgarden and Beck. He's just down with the young peeps.

I'm thinking slang and wolf should don the black berets and take this thread on the road.

Wolf and slang, you guys are just too funny. I nearly fell out of my chair with laughter. I second Griff's recommendation.

No seriously, Recoil is truly awful.

LOL, Aw, the first two albums are ok. Liquid however...ergh! Too much spoken word, IMO. See, the first two albums gave a good mixture of music and SW songs.

I have all of their cds minus the compilations (which just seem pointless to me if you have all the cds anyway..) but I haven't been able to replace my tape of Martin Gore's solo album (which was just awesome) with a cd. Nor have I been able to find it online anywhere. My life will not be complete until I do so.

You mean Counterfeit? If so, here are some links:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...576792-0215834

That'swww.amazon.com then type in Martin Gore in the search box.

http://half.ebay.com/search/search.j...Gore&x=10&y=19

That's http://half.ebay.com/products/music/index.cfm?ad=58180 and then again typing Martin Gore in the search engine box.

Hope that helps. :-)

(and also anyone who snarfed, particularly carbonated beverages, which burn rather than tickle when extruded through the nasal passages and earn extra points for the visible reaction)

Thank you.

For sure, we used to talk in the DM chatbox about DM to DM fans. Would have been interesting to have had it going all these years. I swear, when they removed it, it was like removing all our roots, our home. Damn it, why the f*ck did they do it. Anyway,

During my devotional period to Depeche Mode and the chatbox, I personally:

-skipped classes multiple times to chat in the public library
-discovered the internet, email, web sites, online media, etc
-used this opportunity to practice writing English (been learning since '95)
-met a bunch of great people including Sycamore, whom you all don't know as Lord Sycamore

-met people from as far as Sweden, Czech Republic, and as close as the next seat in the same library. :p
-developed a webpage NOT dedicated to Depeche Mode

-became aware of many great and not great musicians.
-created 30 email addies and changed main addy every 2 months

-became intrigued by Spanish (because of Syc's occasional "mysterious" msg in Espanol, of course)

My only regret is that I wasn't the maturest tool in the shed at the time, which hauntingly meant that I played the jerk, or if you will, the asshole, on several ocassions

But it was all worthwhile...

Speaking of DM, Martin Gore's 2nd Counterfeit CD comes out April 29th. Dave Gahan's solo album rolls out in June.

PJ, you were irritating at times, but you weren't the worst. You had:

--RED, the Jordanian living in Poland, who was really obnoxious at first, then mellowed out

--Recoil (Jean-Paul, RIP), who initially made the chatroom his personal sex den

--That one kid from WV, who was apparently a big punk rocker, then converted to Mormonism *shrugs*

--Ms. Agent Orange, who apparently changed her first name to Dëem (no shit)...she could be a real twat at times

--The Saint (Peter), who macked on a ton of women in there (including Rho). One time, he was being a little too pushy with Nadia, and it spooked her pretty bad. I put that bastard in his place real quick. And the funny part about that was...after he realized he spooked Nadia, he left her a voice mail while she was on the phone with me. He's all bawling and shit..."I am so sorry...I never meant to upset you...you are so beautiful..." What a fucking loon.

Fortunately I didn't have to deal with any of these people. Of course, Recoil had the misfortune of committing suicide a while back, from what I've heard.

elSicomoro · 02-16-2003, 07:59 PM

Not true, from what I understand. He had a heart attack in the shower. He had recently relocated to Taiwan from California (work-related) when it happened (about 2 years ago).

pjshimmer · 02-25-2003, 10:04 PM

Is that right. Well, Megan (Emby) seemed to get along with him back in the days. There were more drama with him than me gusta saber.

elSicomoro · 02-26-2003, 04:53 PM

I believe Meg is the one who told me.

I live like 20 minutes from Meg (and work around the corner from her house), but the only time I seem to see her is when Maya comes in from Toronto. We're incredibly sad.

We often need a third person to bring us closer
