DM CHRISTMAS GREETING ON KROQ CD
KROQ FM in Los Angeles have released their annual Chirstmas CD. Titled "Kevin & Bean Present Swallow My Eggnog", it contains a 13 second Christmas greeting from David. The CD is sold in Southern California only, at Wherehouse Music record stores. It is not available for sale online.
As the disc is being sold for charity purposes ($5.00 per CD), there will not be a MP3 file of David's greeting on this site until the CD has sold out, so as not to conflict with the charity purposes of the CD. We can, however, show you images of the disc. Look in the inlay scan for a small image of David "waving" to the camera.

NEW WHITE VINYL FOR DEPECHE MODE
After the Black pete white vinyl that held remixes of "Behind the Wheel", "Little 15" and "Nodisco", a new one popped up. This one was assembled DJ ATB aka Andre Tenneberger who previously remixed Talla 2XLC, Taucher, Moby and others.
The Depeche Mode track he mixed was the band's classic hit "Everything Counts". According to our colleagues from Release Magazine the mix is about ten minutes long. The vinyl is only one-sided and is called "Depeche Mode vs ATB".

NEW DEPECHE MODE SINGLE SLEEVE REVEALED EXCLUSIVE!
Side-Line received the lay-out for the upcoming single "Goodnight Lovers". Earlier on you could already find the promo single cover at Side-Line, but now this is the layout for commercial single, the 4th single to be taken from Depeche Mode's "Exciter" album. And this time the layout is way better than the promo.
The commercial release will for instance hold a remix by the so-called 'Mute home engineer' Gareth Jones.
A release that promises to be somewhat extraordinary as the A-side itself is not particularly the fastest and most commercial track on the "Exciter" album. It is believed that the single is to push
the live DVD coming up in March, more or less like the live single of "Everything Counts" did back in the late eighties for the "101" release..
