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.
