Welcome
This blog originally began as "Blog of the Universe," chronicling the adventures of three girls during Depeche Mode's Tour of the Universe. Now that the girls' shows have passed, Amanda has decided to continue blogging on various DM-related topics. This blog isn't really meant to be a news source (there are great sites for that already) but more of a personal op-ed space for DM musings.

Many may question whether the hardcore fans have lives (we do), but what is life without passion and adventure to make it worth living?

Amanda lives with her boyfriend (to whom she may as well be married) and one crazy cat, Cocoanut. Enjoying many time-consuming hobbies that compete with one another, she is fully aware she's a complete geek and revels in it.

pull it all down and start again
by Miss Leliel

OK, so not entirely. I revised the previous Blog of the Universe 2.0 design to be a bit more clean! In preparation for the fact that I will no longer be blogging my tour experiences (since those are over) I felt a name change was in order. I am hoping to post regularly, at least one substantial article per week. I know that's not much for blogging standards, but it's a start. This blog is more of a writing exercise for me, going stream of consciousness, and airing out my various thoughts and opinions instead of bogging down threads with long-winded material. I'll probably post random tidbits and musings here and there, but I'll leave the major news posts to Home and the official site. :)

I am also hoping to post reviews of new projects and releases, including side projects such as Dave, Alan or Christian's various collaborations. If I run out of new ideas maybe I'll dip into the back catalog, but unless there's interest in that, I doubt it. Though I warn you ahead of time, I probably wont review live recordings like LHN or remixes because I don't really have an ear for it. I can tell if something sounds bad, quality wise, but I don't feel I have the expertise to really contribute anything useful to those conversations.
Anyway, I look forward to writing and hope you look forward to reading! :) Remember to add the blog to your RSS (see right column) or Blogger Follow list (strip at the top). As I am doing this blog via FTP, I can't figure out a way to add a Blogger follow link without that darn bar at the top.
