In 1990 I was in 6th grade and my older sister bought Depeche Mode’s Violator. I universally despised nearly everything my sister liked and assumed this wold be no different. I was wrong. I would never admit it, but more than once I snuck into her room to borrow that cassette.
Just one of those days. Enjoy the Silence.

i’m sure gahan is into autoerotic asphyxiation also, but he’s significantly better at it.
