Devotional Dave… Love !

one of my favorite depeche mode related stories is that one from the late 90s where dave was showing martin one of his songs and martin was so fucking wasted he just said "that's great dave!" and immediately proceeded to run down a flight of stairs and puke all over the floor before passing out

happy sgr day

NME, 19-26 December 1992

This is Suede’s second NME front cover, with Brett posing as Sid Vicious. Their first NME front cover (of 5 September 1992) and the accompanying interview were scanned and posted on tumblr years ago, so I won’t be doing it all over again. It can be found in my archive, reblogged on 4 Jan. 2019, if anyone’s interested.

Anyway, here we have Brett with Toni Halliday of The Curve and Jim Bob of Carter USM discussing 1992′s single releases from The Levellers, PJ Harvey, Sinead O’Connor, Madonna, Manic Street Preachers, The Orb, The Shamen, Morrissey, Happy Mondays, and a handful of other acts hardly anyone remembers nowadays…
