Here is the music video for "Hole To Feed", the third video from the album "Sounds Of The Universe".
If you were watching "True Blood" on Sunday night, you probably noticed the teaser for the season finale before the show had "Corrupt" as the backing track.
HBO has now put a longer version of the teaser clip online, and it includes the band, taken from the "Studio Sessions" on the Sounds Of The Universe box set!
Check it out!
In 2005 and 2006, Depeche Mode were on tour with their "Touring The Angel" concert. At the end of the shows, drummer Christian Eigner had the entire touring band (himself, along with Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, Peter Gordeno) sign one of the two drum heads used on the drum kit that was on tour.
In memory of Darrell Ives, Christian has supplied the drum head for auction, to benefit The Darrell Ives Trust (created for his children Vinnie and Keonna).
100% of the proceeds from this auction item will go to the Darrell Ives Trust.

DEPECHE MODE FORCED TO CANCEL APPEARANCE AT CRICKET WIRELESS AMPHITHEATER TONIGHT DUE TO DOCTOR'S ORDERS FOR CONTINUED VOCAL REST
Depeche Mode has been forced to cancel their appearance tonight, Friday, August 14th at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater in San Diego due to doctor's orders that lead singer Dave Gahan continue on complete vocal rest. Because of their busy schedule, a new San Diego date will not be rescheduled this year.
"We are incredibly disappointed to not be able to perform for our fans tonight in San Diego," said Dave Gahan. "We hope to be back soon to play for all our fans in the area."
Refunds will be issued at the point of purchase.
The tour will resume on Sunday with the band's sold out two night stand at the Hollywood Bowl.
