I saw them on Tour Of The Universe in Stade De France and Dublin and in Dublin last Christmas as well. Seeing But Not Tonight acoustic live was my most ****ing surreal, cathartic moment with music ever. I've always had a soft spot for Gore. He's my favorite of the bunch. Such a beautiful, whimsical creature.

I got housemates and friends in to them over the past two years as well which is essential for having people to discuss them with because it can be difficult. They're the worlds biggest cult band after all. They're massive but it's hard meeting fans in person, especially in Ireland.

I think it will wind up affecting relationships in my life. Any girl I go out with invariably isn't as good as she could be if she wasn't a Mode fan already. It sounds crazy but I'll probably end up falling in love someone based entirely on Depeche Mode. Like those whack ass geek couples you see who got married dressed as Metal Gear characters at a convention somewhere.
