&nbsp; that album's from 1998! &nbsp; i noticed that the color theory cover/tribute album has many tracks from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26index=blended%26keyword=depeche%20mode">depeche mode</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />'s <font color="black"><i>black celebration</i></font>. &nbsp; as dreary n' dark as that sounds, <i>that</i>'s 1'f my favourite depeche mode albums! &nbsp; color theory even includes a cover'f "but not tonight," which, as i've sed b4, is definitely 1'f my favourite <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26index=blended%26keyword=depeche%20mode">depeche mode</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> tracks. &nbsp; i believe the most covered <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26index=blended%26keyword=depeche%20mode">depeche mode</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> track is "enjoy the silence," which incidentally is their all time highest ranking single. &nbsp; i didn't realise that. &nbsp; i wonder what i thought that would be. &nbsp; i s'ppose it makes sense. &nbsp; otherwise, i guess i would've picked "strangelove" or "just can't get enough" from their vince clarke days. &nbsp; also "everything counts" should be up there, rt? &nbsp; <font face="garamond,times new roman" color="black">"the turning point of a career in <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rea</font> being insincere. . ."</font> (a line from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26index=blended%26keyword=depeche%20mode">depeche mode</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />'s "everything counts") heh, that's funny, that line... it could really apply to the semiconduktor industry, so man... it must speak volumes n' resound in the valley, eh? &nbsp; i mean, since <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rea</font> has such a big hi.tech industry n' all... n' obviously many silly valley werkers gotta do bizness w/ <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rea</font>. &nbsp; also, i find that line funny cos... well, yah... since i'm so submersed in <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rean</font> culture like... that line <i>could</i> refer to like some <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rean</font> celebrity aktor or sumpthin', u know? &nbsp; i 4get, but i can imagine that in the video, @ that pt in the song, they have a clip'f a white man shaking hands w/ some asian men in bizness suits. &nbsp; <i>neway</i>, the most covered (remade by others) depeche mode song's "enjoy the silence." &nbsp; last nite, i found several "enjoy the silence" covers on sony connect. &nbsp; that doesn't include that mars &amp; mystre track that is basi<font face="script" color="blue" size="+3">cal</font> an "enjoy the silence" cover but w/ a slightly modified name. &nbsp; i believe the title's "the silence" or sumpthin'. &nbsp; well, i found <i>2</i> "r&amp;b" covers'f "enjoy the silence, both sung by female jazz divas... sort'f like norah jones. &nbsp; funny, huh? &nbsp; well, even more interesting is how 1'f these covers, which is by some gurl named janti, was released on 2006년05월25일!!! &nbsp; that was <i>this</i> wk!!!! &nbsp; that's very important cos 2nite's the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26index=blended%26keyword=depeche%20mode">depeche mode</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> concert in mtn view @ the shoreline amphitheatre; n' <i>furthermore</i>, 2nite's concert is the <i>1st</i> show'f the <i>3rd</i> leg'f their <i>playing the angel</i> tour! &nbsp; that's significant (in small amts). &nbsp; it's just that, there prob'ly is more hype over depeche mode rt now than usual.

<p>last nite, both the beautiful <a href="http://www.realestatesforcharity.com" target="new">kaela hwang</a> n' i attended the turbo kick box (tkb) class @ the e. arques 24 hr fitness. &nbsp; i'm glad that i'm surviving these tkb classes very well. &nbsp; i get a good werkout, but i'm not like dying. &nbsp; oh yah! yesterday, i did both a spin class during lunch n' the tkb class in the evening. &nbsp; i'm happy 'bout that. &nbsp; i need to keep this up! &nbsp; well, shoot; i have <i>no plans</i> to visit the gym 2day or 2nite.

<p>[later] 오후: there's this thing (should i say "program"?) called <i>recording the angel</i>, where this particular british company's getting recording from all the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26index=blended%26keyword=depeche%20mode">depeche mode</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> concerts on <i>this</i> 3rd (n' final?) leg'f the current tour (<i>touring the angel</i>) n' releasing/selling cds n' digital files. &nbsp; they say it's the ultimate souvenir, n' i've gotta say i concur to a good amt despite the steep, steep pri&cent;es. &nbsp; the cd &cent;o$t$ $38, n' the set'f digital files &cent;o$tS $20! &nbsp; that's rather steep, eh? &nbsp; however, they call 'em "limited edition." &nbsp; i'm considering buying the digital files. &nbsp; i'd <i>like</i> the cd, but that pri&cent;e is just <i>2</i> much!
<p>@ lunch, i went to sweet tomatoes w/ my ol' roomate n' good friend vince. &nbsp; it's great that vince n' i meet up 4 lunch every so often now that he werks in the sobay. &nbsp; the weather was really nice n' we ate out on the covered patio. &nbsp; we beat the lunch crowd, n' it got really crowded as we ate. &nbsp; what nice weather! &nbsp; i still worry that it'll be cold @ the shoreline amphitheatre 2nite, so i'm aktually wearing a thermal undershirt under my <font color="black">black</font> (kenny cole, embroidered) dress shirt n' gray/grey t.shirt. &nbsp; i'm dressing in kind'f dark colours to be a depeche mode fan, u know?
<p>[later, 2006.04.28] i should mention that i <i>did</i> back in the 1990s buy the imported single'f the "walking in my shoes" cover by some continental european group called diesel christ.<br><br><br>
