Temptation

Posted over 2 years ago
Northern Greece just got its internet back. Half a day without it and my hands are trembling, can you spell withdrawal symptoms? Brrrr.Anyway. I've been on a major Depeche Mode kick since yesterday (shocking, I know) and this baby here has been on repeat one. Blame the delicious darky beats, the voice that is dragging like tongue on skin, or whispering like sharing dirty secrets with you, and the electronic noise that starts at about 1:00 and gives me chills. This is what temptation sounds like:_It's the dark night of my soulAnd temptation's taking holdBut through the pain and the sufferingThrough the heartache and tremblingI feel lovedAs the darkness closes inIn my head I hear whisperingQuestioning and beckoningBut I'm not taken inI feel lovedFrom the depths of my emptinessComes a feeling of inner blissI feel wanted, I feel desiredI can feel my soul on fireI feel loved_

    guso says anna: hi horrible monkey barb; although I'm not a fan of DM, I saw them last year twice; one of those performances was about 3 hours and they were really awesome. I like them period. vannatta: u can have an extra router, but what if the ISP is down, the TIE conn is not working, last mile is underwater, or someone making cleaning unplugged the power line, 'u can't always get what u want' - The Rolling Stones.. .guSo

    TroyPowers says Darky beats, Anna?!!? Why didn't you just call them NIGGER beats...or JIGABOO drums? Huh, Anna? Wearing your hood and cape today? I realize that being European (and not even from one of the important European nations) you probably have no idea what I'm going on about. Damnit, sometimes I wish you were American, like everybody else in the world. :p

    TroyPowers says Guso: I think the joke was that Greece is so tiny and insignificant, that all of their internet connections go through a single router. That's how I took it, anyway. And found it quite amusing. :)

    vannatta says guso: Northern Greece would have core routers, and would be even farther upstream than a commercial ISP - usually run by the govt. - it was very tongue in cheek... I'm sure they have more than one router there... the Internet should never go down, ever, by design... (on a regional level I mean) - but I will geek out here in to a territory that is quite boring if you let me... and I don't want to - too much like work... :)

    Lizziegreeneyes says I lean toward this one from Exciter & I am with you *Pat _erm_ I mean PRINCIPAL VERNON*, +Exciter+ is a favorite of mine, but as they are one of my ALL TIME favorite bands, each album is beloved to me !!! *Anna dearest:* if you are ever wanting someone to join you on a DM journey, you need look no further than your siblings... we're right there with you my sweet :)

    TroyPowers says Most significant race?!!? Man, isn't it illegal to say that in Germany? :) Better watch yourself. Big Brother is watching. BTW, I'm just kidding. Wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that I hate Germans. My ex-wife is German. My last girlfriend was German. Wait a minute...I DO hate Germans! :)

    Lizziegreeneyes says Before I knew what _sex_ was like (even _remotely_ like), I was watching Dave Gahan's hip movements & letting his voice drape over me, hot & sweaty, dreamy & _yes Troy_, all dark-ly syrup sweet. He was really my *_first_*... Poor Skippy was sure he was the one... heh !!! & the song +*Somebody*+... that's what I aspire to in my _somebody_...

    mickimicki says Troy: Got you... I was kidding, too... but to comply with the local law, I struck out the race. We're into censorship like that. Well you probably know that. It's really interesting you made THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE OVER, huh? We're hateable in a pretty hot way aren't we :P Anna: It's like this: Darky is the new Goth, blackface is the new white make-up, and Germany still makes un-funny jokes. Sniff!

    SA says I haven't had internet at my place for over a month. Have to do all my stuff at the uni, and that is very annoying to say the least. Also because now I can't listen to the youtube link since I can't seem to plug my headphones in here somewhere. Moreover, you can't do personal stuff because everyone can just read along with you. And router isn't a word in my vocabulary either, nor is it in any of my 9 other housemates. So getting internet back, especially with those idiotic companies, is a tour de force to say the least. okay, done ranting now. (a)

    Dale says I'm telling you, bands that have been around twenty years aren't _supposed_ to make magic like this, but DM keep at it. Martin Gore may be the most perverted songwriter gong, but the man's creativity is still remarkable. On another note, one of my white-whale quests is to get Melissa to a Depeche Mode show. I've seen then "+one time+":http://mog.com/Dale/blog_post/34018, and I would love to hear the new material live.

    mickimicki says Somebody is mixing apples with pigs here. Dale, I saw them several times in the 80's and then again last year, which was pretty freaking amazing... it's just like you say, it amazes how they managed to stay fresh. And Gahan is still a stage animal. There's so much love between the band and their audience... you GOTTA make it happen. Your wife won't be disappointed!

We Greeks were too busy inventing democracy, philosphy, spanikopita, etc.... we're just resting at the moment... then we'll give the rest of the world some more stuff later... ...and as for "Feta" ...nope. can't use it unless you're Greek.
