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

Some good things happening on the @depechemode Archives section of the official site. Radio interviews from over the years are being uploaded by Brat. Worth a listen especially the KROQ interview pre SOFAD
