There is a long and interesting tradition of really marginal left-field music that becomes commercially successful. And I will, for a brief minute, fit into that tradition.
I think Depeche Mode music somehow appeals to the oddball, to the person who is looking for something a little bit different.
I like a lot of weird songs.
If I can learn a couple of phrases in Italian but do mostly weird, absurd music things, people will like it.
I liked anything that was a little bit weird, a little bit different. I always went for the psychotic, weird, 'dingey' bands.
We love playing music but we're too weird to play music.
I like songs that have like a little bit of quirkiness to them. What I like to do with songs, is kind of throw a little curveball in the lyrics or in the arrangement, to kind of give it a little twist to it.
What I value most in new music today is strangeness, oddity. Passion. And humor. I listen to a lot of hip-hop because it combines so many things like that.
