New Imposter Tour show review
January 07, 2022
I have posted my review of the Dave Gahan bei den Telekom Street Gigs concert, which can be found here and also linked on the Shows > Imposter page. This was the show that was originally livestreamed on the MagentaMusik website from Admiralspalast in Berlin on December 13, 2021.
"Saw Something" music video tidbit
January 05, 2022
It is a little known fact that the music video for "Saw Something" (Hourglass, 2007) was filmed at the historic Hotel Chelsea in New York, a place known to have housed famous musicians like Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, and many others. It is also notorious for several mysterious deaths occurring there, including the murder of Nancy Spungen, girlfriend of Sex Pistols bassist, Sid Vicious, in 1978.
So, why am I mentioning this now? Well, it was recently discovered by Instagram user @ChelseaHotelNYC that the video was actually filmed in the very hotel room where Nancy was murdered. Whether this was known to Dave at the time or not is unclear, but it does give a whole new dimension to the already-haunting video, doesn't it?

New magazines posted, one in French with English translation
January 03, 2022
There are 3 new magazine articles posted in the Print Articles section- 2 are Depeche Mode interviews from MOJO (November 2005 and May 2013, respectively) and the other is an interview with Dave about Hourglass from the November/December 2007 issue of D-Side, a French music magazine. For the French magazine, I not only included pictures of the article, itself, but I also included a transcription of the original French as well as an English translation! I am hoping to eventually give a similar treatment to the other non-English magazines in that section, as well. I could use some help doing that, though, so if that is something you are interested in helping out with, please get in touch with me!
Happy New Year!

Here is to a fabulous 2022!
New "Year in Review" article
December 29, 2021
2021 was a very active year for Dave (at least in the second half). Let's recap on the year in this new article and also look ahead to 2022!
We are also coming close to this website's birthday, as well! Because of this, I would like to start something new. If I were to create a social media account dedicated solely to Dave Gahan fandom, something where I would post at least once a day a photo, GIF, video, or other snippet of content, is this something that would interest everyone? And if so, what platform would you prefer? Choose the one that you'd most want to follow in the poll above and I will do my best to make it a reality next year!
To those who celebrate Christmas...
