DM will be on UK TV show TOTP on May 4th to perform Dream On at 7:30 pm (UK time) Pop young 'uns, if you tune into this week's show, you might be expecting to see a sprightly troupe of electropop newcomers, who've just scored a Top Ten hit with their debut single. Well, if you are, there's a surprise coming your way, sharpish! In fact, Depeche are electropop veterans of the highest order, having scored their first hit way back in 1981 (before Jon S Club was even born!) and have spent most of the intervening time conquering the world with their peculiar brand of doom pop, whilst at the same time partying like the world had been cancelled, starting tomorrow. That Dave, Andy and Martin have managed to stay alive this long is a miracle enough, let alone getting it together to make more music. So when they take to the Pops stage this Friday, howzabout a brief salute..?

On May issue of the french Mag Keyboards (with DM on the cover), Martin annouced they made a cover version of a song by the Stooges called Dirt, that may be used as a b-side Scan by Luc / OD
