Depeche Mode has revealed the dates and cities for the North American leg of its “Tour of the Universe.”
The international jaunt, which supports the British synthpop pioneers’ forthcoming album, kicks off in Tel Aviv, Israel, May 10 and treks through European stadiums into mid-July. The outing descends upon North America shortly thereafter, starting July 24-25 in Toronto and Montreal, and then crossing over to the US for an 18-city run of major markets, including a two-night stand in Los Angeles. The schedule, minus yet-to-be-announced venues, is included below. Tickets for select markets go on sale beginning March 13.
Depeche Mode’s 12th studio effort, “Sounds of the Universe,” is due in the US April 21. The release marks a reunion between the band and producer Ben Hillier (Blur, Doves), who helped the members conjure up the album’s retro-futuristic sound. The lead single, “Wrong,” will hit the radio following its world premiere at tomorrow’s (2/21) Echo Awards in Germany.
In addition to a standard CD format, “Sounds of the Universe” will be offered up as a double-vinyl LP, a special-edition CD/DVD and a deluxe box set with a host of exclusive material. The DVD will feature a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the album, a band interview with archive footage and live recordings from the studio, among other things.
As with Depeche Mode’s latest studio set, 2005′s “Playing The Angel,” the new material gives writing credit to both Martin Gore, the group’s primary songwriter, and frontman Dave Gahan, who, after honing his talents on two solo albums, has earned his place as the band’s second writer.
All of Depeche Mode’s 11 studio albums have reached the Top 10 in 20-plus countries around the world, including the US, according to a press release. All together, the band has sold more than 75 million units worldwide.

Song of the Month…
Love Alive ~ Heart
When I raised my head
I stood at the window -
Darkness was my bane
Suddenly a sunbeam arch
Thrilled me to my weary heart
It was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen
I knew I had to keep my Love
Keep my Love alive
Keep my Love – Keep my Love live
Baby I want you to roll me
Hold me in your love
No more habits, promises and jive
Ever since I was a baby girl
Wanted one thing most in this world
It was to Keep My Love -
Keep My Love alive
I want to keep my Love -
Keep my Love alive
Keep my Love – keep my love alive
You’re up there under the spotlight
Your silver trophy shines
With all you got, my lord!
You must get high
You need a whole lot more than money
You need more than to survive
You need to keep your Love
Keep your Love alive.

Zero 7 Lyrics -Dreaming
I’ve sworn my love
I’ve been reborn my love
Don’t be forlorn my love
I’ve torn my heart
Do not mourn my depart
I’ve been reborn my love
I’m watching you
there’s nothing they can do
now I’m reborn my love
Yeah, you must believe you’ll live on without me
I’m leaving all my love
I am awake
And you are only dreaming
You’ll be ok and you will find some meaning
You will not break
Though you’ll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
Don’t fear my friend
‘Cause there is no real end
I’ve been reborn my love
I’m happy here
I have nothing to fear
I’m getting all the love, oh yeah
So shed a tear
For all the happy years
And just move on my love
I’ll ride this crowd
And when your time comes ’round
We’ll need all our love
I am awake
And you are only dreaming
You’ll be ok and you will find some meaning
You will not break
Though you’ll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
I am awake
And you are only dreaming
You’ll be ok and you will find some meaning
You will not break
Though you’ll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
Indie 103.1 goes dark :(
Indie 103.1 goes dark because they choose to buck the corporate radio trend 
Here is their Official statement:
“This is an important message for the Indie 103.1 Radio Audience -
Indie 103.1 will cease broadcasting over this frequency effective immediately. Because of changes in the radio industry and the way radio audiences are measured, stations in this market are being forced to play too much Britney, Puffy and alternative music that is neither new nor cutting edge. Due to these challenges, Indie 103.1 was recently faced with only one option — to play the corporate radio game.
We have decided not to play that game any longer. Rather than changing the sound, spirit, and soul of what has made Indie 103.1 great Indie 103.1 will bid farewell to the terrestrial airwaves and take an alternative course.
This could only be done on the Internet, a place where rules do not apply and where new music thrives; be it grunge, punk, or alternative – simply put, only the best music.
For those of you with a computer at home or at work, log on to http://www.indie1031.com and listen to the new Indie 103.1 – which is really the old Indie 103.1, not the version of Indie 103.1 we are removing from the broadcast airwaves.
We thank our listeners and advertisers for their support of the greatest radio station ever conceived, and look forward to continuing to deliver the famed I

Lady Gaga Has the #1 Song!
I told you guys that Lady Gaga was red hot and now the charts show it! My favorite song this week is Poker face, really great to dance to, source*grin* 
Lady Ga Ga
Lady Gaga is the next rock/pop/electro superstar – or maybe she is the first. Mix one part Blondie with one part Madonna, swirl it in a bath of the Scissor Sisters and Junior Senior, throw in some glitch and sprinkle with glitter and you come close the recipe. Winter Music Conference was her launching pad and the industry took note of her. Working with Akon and Red One, the Lady Gaga has crafted a debut CD full of beats and melodies set for release later this summer. Until then, watch for her music video “Just Dance” and live performances as she tours the US.
DJ Ron Slomowicz: Listening to your music, I don’t want to do a traditional Q&A interview. I’m going to say a bunch of names and you tell me what impact they’ve had on your life. Let’s start with the Pussycat Dolls.
Lady Gaga: Well you know, I love a girl in her underwear, first of all. Secondly, I’ve been writing for them, so Nicole Scherzinger has been in my head for probably the past three months. There’s something that’s very humbling about being able to write for a powerhouse group like that. Probably the biggest influence that they’ve had on me is making me want to be a better writer for them.
