Depeche Mode: Most viewed pictures

"Hourglass" by David GahanDepeche Mode is one of many '80s bands currently enjoying a sudden resurgence in fame, and impulsively being labeled as legends. Smartly striking while the iron is hot, lead singer Dave Gahan has chosen to capitalize on this surge by picking up his solo career. Gahan had no hand in writing any of the songs that propelled Depeche Mode to fame—in fact, he played no role in the bands' writing until 2005, so it's fun to imagine where he might take a project over which he has full control. Interestingly, Gahan takes a cue from the many contemporary bands who claim influence from Depeche Mode, borrowing from the band's synth-based electronica and incorporating darker melodies and instrumentation to give the music some edge. This chicken-or-the-egg scenario plays out most effectively on "Saw Something," a moody, meandering track that finds Gahan employing his perfectly haunting vocals to great success. Not long after that, though, things get uncomfortable. Lead single

"Audio Day Dream" by Blake LewisAmerican Idol runner-up and "that guy" who made beatboxing a household term, Blake Lewis delivers an odd debut with Audio Daydream. He, like Kelly Clarkson earlier this year, is very proud in that he "wrote everything himself" which is a feat for American Idols. At first glance, you'd think he's just riffing a half-way decent Justin Timberlake impression. And in a lot of ways, he is. "Hate 2 Love Her" is sufficiently poppy, in that club-sounding way as Lewis muses "we're heading straight for disaster" because, you know, she's "making his heart hurt." That said, it's as if Lewis was very conscious in making sure he didn't rehash the sound arrangements of this decade's prominent R&B stars. In fact, the songs sound a bit like '80s Cure or Depeche Mode at times—we didn't see that one coming, but maybe we should have with that faux-Flock of Seagulls hair-do. And to further mix things up, "What'cha Got 2 Lose" has some

Hear Rolling Stone’s Favorite New Tracks Including Hurricane Chris, Robert Plant and Say Anything Hurricane Chris, “The Hang Clap” Silly-fun club jam around the sleek bouncy sound that Louisianians call “ratchet” — and almost as catchy as “A Bay Bay.” [Listen]-[Review] Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, “Fortune Teller” Plant and Krauss transform the 1960s R&B standard into a sweet midtempo harmonic gem. [Listen]-[Review] Dave Gahan , “Use You” This Iggy Pop-inspired track proves that the Depeche Mode frontman can craft a song outside his band. [Listen]-[Review] Say Anything, “Retarded in Love” Cathartic, hook-filled emo — and now’s your chance to hear frontman Max Bemis fall apart yet one more time. [Listen]-[Review] Neil Young, “Ordinary People” The longest song in Young’s catalog (eighteen verses, endless horns) could also be his most bizarre. But it works. [Listen]-[Review]

Killers’ Joy Divison Cover Hits the Web, M.I.A. Helps Jailed Aussie Kids Rhyme, Jadakiss Free From Gun and Drug Charges From the Ian Curtis biopic Control, check out the Killers’ take on Joy Division’s “Shadowplay.” The cover, which will also appear on the Killers’ upcoming B-sides collection Sawdust, finds the Las Vegas band putting a glossy sheen on the moody 1979 classic, like it was being filtered through a Depeche Mode machine. Who knew Joy Division could sound so sunny? Following the first trial showdown of the music industry vs. an illegal music downloader, the RIAA promises that many more of its kind will take place, regardless of whether or not Jammie Thomas, a woman in court for downloading 1,702 songs from Kazaa, is found guilty. “We’re in the long haul in terms of establishing that music has value,” said RIAA president Cary Sherman. M.I.A. has teamed up with an Australian all-girls juvenile detention center to record a new song. Through the Heaps Decent program, which helps indigenous and underprivileged youths break into the music industry, M.I.A. spent two days recording the track utilizing the center’s doors and other noises to establish the beat. The finished product will soon be previewed on the Heaps Decent MySpace page before the full track goes on iTunes, with all profits going back into the program. Prosecutors in Westchester County, New York, have dropped year-old weapon and drug charges against Jadakiss over a lack of DNA matches on a handgun found in a car Jadakiss was driving when he was pulled over and cops found the car reeked of marijuana in October 2006. Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Neilsen is planning on opening a hotel/restaurant in the band’s home base of Rockford, Illinois. “Rick’s,” as the building will be called, will also include a museum that will house Neilsen’s large guitar collection, which includes axes previously owned by Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley and Jack White.
