Words cannot describe when I read on Facebook that Alan Wilder (formerly of Depeche Mode, currently of Recoil) will be appearing at a local music store on October 23, 2010 called M-Theory Music. My husband wondered why I was staring at my computer slack-jawed in a stunned silence. I called my sister. I invited friends on Facebook. Out of the dozens of Depeche Mode items I own (which includes some Recoil, vinyl, CDs, tour programmes and rarities), I don’t even know what to bring for him to sign.
This will be one of the biggest musical moments of my life.
