July 13, 1985 was Live Aid — but also on that day Depeche Mode headlined a festival in France (despite what this ad indicates). This is just one of the many things I am learning from reading “Depeche Mode Live” by Dennis Burmeister and Sascha Lange.

Look what I found at the Main Library in Vienna? This 420-page German book is by the same authors who wrote “Monument” in 2013 and “Behind the Wall: Depeche Mode Fankultur in der DDR” in 2018. It is packed with photos of the band, tour passes, posters, ads and more. My Google Translate is ready!

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

In June, I was fifth in line for “James” at my local library. Picked it up yesterday and couldn’t put it down. It’s been a few years since my last #1dayread #booksky

Just saw “Stranger Things” on #Broadway. If you are a fan of the show, you will love it!! Great special effects, some shocking moments, and the story and acting are excellent.

To be clear, you do not vote on the bracket. You have to scroll down and then you'll see the 32 matchups/polls. Here's a look at the matchups. If worse comes to worse, just email me your picks and i'll put your votes in.

Congrats to Henry Bernet, junior champion at the #AustralianOpen!!! Looking forward to watching him on the ATP tour. He has a good serve, and I love his one-handed backhand. Let’s hope Roger and Stan are going to send him a video message. #tennis

I’ve said this before but I think of “Behind the Wheel” from Depeche Mode when I see that cover.

Bill Canacci @billcanacci.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
Maybe the “Violator” cover? Or the “World In My Eyes” hand sign…

One of my favorite musicals (and films) is “Billy Elliot.” Saw the 2005 London production and then caught it on #Broadway in 2008.

Since reading the “Peter Pan” story in the Times, I’ve been thinking about “Finding Neverland,” the very good, and very underappreciated, #Broadway musical based on the wonderful Oscar-nominated film.

The first thing I thought when I saw this is that it provided inspiration for the cover of Depeche Mode’s “Behind the Wheel.”

Anderson Cooper suggested this book by Gay Talese in the New York Times, and my friend Laurie was kind enough to buy it for me for Christmas. Starting to read tonight as I have my evening tea. 🇮🇹

A friend thought I would like “All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me.” I’m two chapters in and loving it! It’s fun to look up all the paintings he mentions.

I see the “Wicked” theater every time I’m in the office, but I haven’t seen the Broadway show since 2003. I will not be the best judge of how the movie differs from the musical.
