OK Depeche Mode fans, this promo poster for “Blasphemous Rumours/Somebody” is at the Henry Ford Museum outside Detroit. A representation of a "teenager's bedroom from 1987.” @depechemode.com @dmdevotee.com @davidjmcelroy.bsky.social @headed4thebeach.bsky.social @permrecordpod.bsky.social

No. 12: True Faith

My favorite New Order song was a big club hit in America and made it No. 32 on Billboard. Did better on the charts in other countries: No. 4 in the UK, 8 in Australia, 17 on the European Hot 100. Love the video!

No. 13: Bigmouth Strikes Again

My favorite by The Smiths. Rolling Stone ranked this the band's 13th best. NME placed it 4th. Billboard has it 2nd. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised the song's "minor-key rush."

Chloë Grace Moretz (and the entire cast) is superb in “Caroline” at MCC theater. This play, by Preston Max Allen, is a true gem.

No. 14: Just Like Heaven

This song introduced me, and many Americans, to The Cure, and the band's amazing "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" album. Not a big chart topper (No. 40 in the U.S., 29 in the UK), but it's a classic.

I like it, too. Martin’s version of But Not Tonight is amazing.

I listened to the “Scoundrel Days” album so many times as a teen … I love the instrumental dub mix of “I’ve Been Losing You.” Always nice to see a-ha fans.

Today’s Song Exploder is one of my favorite episodes so far, about one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s incredible to hear just how different A-ha’s “Take on Me” was when it started, and the work, creativity, and luck it required to turn it into the giant hit it became. songexploder.net/a-ha

Mozart is one of those composers who actually is as good as everyone says he is. Relentlessly creative, stylish, and above all else, playful. His music exudes a raw, stylish joy at the act of making music itself.
