How badly do you have to mis-hear the lyrics to think there's anything sympathetic to fascism in their music? Martin Gore is half-black, you fucking ass-taxi.

OP, where are you going to see DM? beuk and I are seeing them in Seattle.

And all the homoeroticism too. I saw this article and pretty much cracked up laughing from sheer "r u serious right now" because really. Really. The self-awareness is not there.

Looking at the dates and ignoring any SNAFUs, September 7th. Super bummed that it is not the Nissan Pavilion this time. :/

Me, too! DM is an amazing concert band. Even back in the nosebleeds, their energy is palpable. I was so excited when I heard a new album was coming out, because that meant there was also a tour coming. :D

"... My daughter, Rosie, was deeply affected by the election last year. ... She just sobbed, and I was like, 'Wow.'"

His daughter sounds like she's into current events and passionate about what she believes in. Young people like her give me hope for the future.

I didn't sob like she did on election night when the results were clear. I did have this cold, almost freezing, sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and for a short time, denial. I didn't have a good night either.

Edited to say: People Are People is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Oh fuck off, so now the Alt-Right has an "aesthetic"? You can't make fascism into a Tumblr mood board.

But don't you want to read his Bannon/Conway fanfiction? It's pure fluff and an AU where everyone loves them.

Spencer really doesn't have two brain cells to rub together, does he? I mean, it's Depeche Mode.

This reminds me of when Paul Ryan cited Rage Against the Machine as his favorite band, and Tom Morello hit back with, "You are the Machine".
