If you're a regular listener of Transmission on The Current, then you're most likely a fan of Depeche Mode as well. Our Gen X music world was rocked last week with the announcement of Andy Fletcher's sudden passing. It's still unreal to think that one of the founding members of DM is no longer with us. This week on the program, I honor Mr. Fletcher by playing a song from each Depeche Mode album in the order of its release, at least until we run out of time. It's the best way I know how to pay tribute to the new wave and synth pop legend. And I invite you to join me.
