Well done with Nothing by Depeche Mode. The dark melodies remind me of another artist.  The lyrics talk of surprises that advertise nothing which also puts me in the mind of a song by this dark artist. My choice this week's is "Step Right Up" by Tom Waits.

Happy new year all fellow chainees New Years resolution to not leave chain until the last minute. So here goes last times winner was by Depeche Mode those great survivors and astonishingly successful electronic Essex Boys. They famously said they wanted to make electronic music after hearing Electricity by OMD - now that's a good tune so my link is Electricity by OMD electronic pioneers from The Wirral good luck all.

Last week we had Depeche Mode with Nothing. I see Depeche is French for Dispatch or News Report so can't help thinking of the terrible events in France this week. I think we all wish "Nothing" had happened and that we were still "Enjoying The Silence" but one thing for sure is that freedom of speech must prevail and publications like Charlie Hebdo must have a voice.....for this reason my link is Charly (Says) by The Prodigy.

Larst week da winnin linky woz “Nothing” by Depeche Mode. Umm nothing = nowt = zero = absence of anyfink = nuffinness.  *bangs head on wall hopin for inspirayshun*  Gots it ! I go wiv “Nothing Compares 2U” by Sinead O’Connor.

Last weeks winner was a Depeche Mode song and it has sent our house into an 80's frenzy. Vince Clark worked with Depeche Mode for a brief period and the reason for much embarrassing dancing in the house is one of his other acts, the wonderful Erasure. So many tracks to choose from, but we've gone for "Always".

A bit difficult this week, hmm.  A link from Depeche Mode and Nothing ... well, we did our research on the interweb and found out that this song was on several albums, including a live one called 101. There is a tv programme here in UK called Room 101, where guests are invited to say why things they don't like should be got rid of into room 101, and the host picks the best one. Now, if I were on that programme, what would I choose? SQUIRRELS of course, pesky fings! So here is a silly song from Ray Stevens called the Mississippi Squirrel Revival. No offence to anyone intended, but as it has been a terrible news week we thought we could do with a bit of a laugh and cringe with this cheesy video.

Well did you know that Depeche Mode means somfink close to fashion news in French? No? Me neivas! So what is fashion, one pals fashion is annuva cringeworfy affair. Fashun is a popular or latest style of clothing, hair, decorashun or behaviour. As Bowie himself says fa fa fa fa fashion! Dat is me linky, fashion by bowie.
