THE FIRE STILL BURNS
I came back from walking my dog this morning when I saw the postman had already passed by my building. Apart from the usual fear of receiving mail at all in Germany (long story, all bureaucracies come by mail and …
Category: Depeche Mode Facebook Takeover
WEEKS TURN INTO MONTHS
I had a second chance the “Depeche Mode Jeopardy Holiday Special”, promoted by Ron Rohm from the Depeche Mode Global Fan Group coordinated with the always incredible Jenna Robbins, and competing against two strong participants: my fellow “Spirits in the Forest” co-star Dicken Schrader of DMK and Brent Meyer from Strangelove the Depeche Mode Experience. And while we’re at it, the Home website now also has a group along with the already existing FB page.
GOING BACKWARDS – PART V
If you followed this far, I left off on July 23rd, 2018, the day we had the “hard wrap” of filming my scenes and I went off to see the first of the two concerts later that evening. Being part of that crew, even if for 4 days, I couldn’t help but share their feeling of accomplishing a long and hard job around the world. This would be the first of two times I felt that in 3 days.
GOING BACKWARDS – PART II
On April 13th, 2018, I got another late night email with the subject “Depeche Mode Film Opportunity”. It was an invitation to take part in a project that would focus on the fans. Despite the vague description of the whole thing, I accepted immediately. I felt honored to have been selected, but I didn’t know much about what were they aiming for.
GOING BACKWARDS – PART I
As we approach the 2nd anniversary of the epic closure of the Global Spirit Tour, recently released on CD, DVD and Blu-Ray. I decided to take a quick look back at what was the entire experience like for me. I’ll try to post for a few days on a row until we finish this July 25th. The D-day, or maybe I should call it the DM-day.
FOR A FEW HOURS
I was lazy enough to let Glen Hammarstrom’s first edition of the Breathing in Fumes Podcast Live Brunch pass and not post about it here. This time I won’t. Head over to Twitch at 10am PST, 18h UK, 19h CET, …
GET ON BOARD
The band (yes, THE band) is inviting you to join us *TUESDAY*, February 4th, on Reddit to ask the stars (yes, me too) of SPIRITS IN THE FOREST anything! RSVP here.
TRY WALKING IN MY SHOES
I’m about to just link to another interview, but this one is very special, cause it was for my dear friend Jenna Rose Robbins, whom I managed to sneak into a quick cameo in the film (well, we spent almost an entire day filming, but in the end you see her for some 6-10 seconds, blame the editing).
THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO
Daniel Cassus in front of the Olimpiastadion in Berlin
I found the original picture that I chose as my profile picture for the takeover. This was moments before the Delta Machine Tour show in the summer of 2013. I wasn’t living in Berlin yet. That was 2 months later. …
GET YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66
I was just thinking the other day I’ve been a fan for 20 years now. I’d pin point my turning point sometime in January, 1999. I had seen the “Only When I Lose Myself” video and the 1998 Cologne show …
