Dave Gahan turns 64 as Depeche Mode film 'M' streams on Netflix
Dave Gahan turned 64 on May 9, 2026, as Netflix began streaming the concert documentary Depeche Mode: M, which captures the band's sold-out Mexico City performances. Directed around those Mexico City shows, Depeche Mode: M places the concerts within Mexican culture and probes themes of music, death, and tradition. The film delivers a high-energy portrait of Depeche Mode's live sound and stagecraft, making it a timely entry point to revisit the band's catalogue as Gahan reaches this milestone.
It has been a dark couple of months. So today, Kitty would like you to bring your songs to live by - the ones that make you feel better, give you resolve, get your heart racing when you need it most. Token 1 - Depeche Mode, Personal Jesus youtu.be/u1xrNaTO1bI?...
Rob Klippel27Pulp Something Changed (Token 2) Because it's the greatest love song ever written.

Jetboy Jetgirl24I think this might be one of the most difficult Jukeboxes ever!! It’s the stuff that makes noise and kicks negative thoughts out of my head that are the ones I need most.

Still Honest 19Good day jukeboxers all, and Kitty is always welcome back in Scotland. My TOKEN 1 goes with the cathartic noise theory Bluebird by The Boo Radleys That chorus of 'i don't feel no pain, I don't have no pride, I don't care anymore, I lied' is a fabulous thing. youtu.be/XzvHfDCQlus?...

MJMcG (he/they)16Mornings! For TOKEN 1, the first song I fell in love with by a band that always makes me feel good, no matter what. The Go! Team Bottle Rocket
Jetboy Jetgirl16There will be countless songs I wish I’d shared. But … Second to noise is anything overly dramatic/performative. Something to get lost in and come out the other side recharged and ready to go again. On that note (kinda noisy too) Token 2 Fields of The Nephilim Preacher Man youtu.be/hsSFR43Z600
mmch.bsky.social16It’s a glorious sunny morning, so this had to be Token 1 -Teenage Fanclub with Start Again. The moment the drums kick in, under those ringing guitars, I’m 23 again. “Even though it’s complicated, we’ve got time to start again”.

Bob Johnston15And for Token 2 - my ultimate 'it's all going to be ok' song - it makes me smile, it makes me sing, and it reminds me of the crush I had on the lead singer... 'U R The Best Thing' by D:Ream. It's my good luck song so if it comes on the radio (rare these days) I know good times are coming...
Libation Legacy🍸15Happy Saturday, Moo, Kitty and all! Token 1 is The Cure, in cheerful mode, with "Just Like Heaven". youtu.be/n3nPiBai66M?...
Rob McMinn15Here's my token 2, recorded 60 years ago this July. Sinatra (with the Blossoms!) pulls one last great record out of the bag. That's life. Riding high in April, shot down in May… youtu.be/UCENTf_LWYA?...

Gareth Oakland 🇫🇷🏏🏉14I’ve been away from here for a while and today I was on a long bike ride with a monster hill at the end of it. This came on the playlist and I smiled and danced all the way to the top. Token 1. Earth Wind & Fire. Boogie Wonderland.
MJMcG (he/they)13Something a bit more recent for TOKEN 2 - a Turkish band that puts a proper swagger in my step. It's hard to feel bad with this amount of groove in your ears. Lalalar Avucunu Yalıyor
Jay the Ent-Larch13Hello, Moo and Kitty! This is a difficult choice because even with two tokens how can I decide among so many possibilities?!? But after much consideration . . . Token 1: “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY

George 13Welcome back Moo! I have a playlist of these type of tracks! About 30 years ago it fell to me to drive my kids and their friends (I had an 8 seater) to swimming on a Saturday morning. We used to sing this at full volume! Happy days! Nothing's Gonna Stop Us - Starship youtu.be/tub93PAAO3k?...
Marsha12This song is my energizer! Token 2 Queen Don't Stop Me Now youtu.be/HgzGwKwLmgM
Buzzbead12Hi Jukeboxers, I’m back again clutching Token 2. I’m not sure why I have such a visceral reaction to this song but I find it so uplifting. youtu.be/cWc7vYjgnTs?...
typical "Where's my ballroom?" mob12Hey Moo and Kitty, great topic choice - I may go make a Spotify list of these. This is what music is for, at least for me. I always smile when I hear the piano intro to this... Token 1 is the Dr. John with "IKO IKO".

𝙽𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚊12Token 2 Tabula Rasa, Arvo Pärt Amsterdam Sinfonietta, led by Candida Thompson & guest Simone Lamsma. Filmed by Anton Corbijn, brilliant photographer & Filmer, eg album art of The Joshua Tree by U2 This energises and calms me, both at the same time. It gives me focus. youtu.be/N6ug3Ca6Y8w?...
Gary Davies (not a DJ or a Rev)12Token 2 is a another slice of Country/Americana from Mary Chapin Carpenter with I Feel Lucky... Several good sentiments in the lyrics to keep going, including 'No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way. Mm, I feel lucky today...' youtu.be/eLMkMfYJe4w?...
Jan12Hi Moo & Kitty it’s a warm afternoon here to be leaping around but this gives the vibes! Token 1 goes to Pharrel Williams and ‘Happy’ youtu.be/ZbZSe6N_BXs?...
Wagane12Fantastic theme, Moo!!! Token 1, Edith Piaf - Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien youtu.be/Q3Kvu6Kgp88?...
Why am I a cat?11For TOKEN 2 I fancy some electroclash to get the blood pumping. I was leaning towards some Fischerspooner to begin with, but think I'm gonna have to go with: Le Tigre - "Deceptacon" Asking the hard questions! Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp? Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
EKD6911Token 2 is Stand up and Shout by SLF, with Bruce Foxton on bass. youtu.be/mbSIZgRdoF0?...

Andrew Cooper11Good morning Moo and Kitty and what a brilliant choice of theme. Token one is Prince Jazzbo "Live Good Today". Really this for me is about the man I'd like to be. youtu.be/woQT2grR9OU?...
Ytsrïk11There’s lots of classical music I like which is uplifting but for token 2, has to be Beethoven’s 6th Symphony (The Pastoral), specifically the opening movement. Paints a graphic picture of being out for a walk on a warm sunny day imo. Just lovely. The whole symphony is fab. youtu.be/m81VOP6dEV8?...
𝙽𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚊11Token 1 You don't own me The lovely Bette, Diane and Goldie Dressed in Suffragette white. This is, or imo should be the worldwide women's anthem. Sing it, ladies! Get loud! youtu.be/Q_oFL_b719g?...

RW Scott10morning all ☕ a topic I can certainly relate to, tho I must admit I often listen to sad songs when I'm sad (in AA they'd say "that's the bottle calling", lol). but a little Komeda always cheers me up 😊 TOKEN 1 - B.L.O.S.S.O.M., Komeda www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu_u...

SinisterBulb9Token 2 Atlantic soul does it for me. Try listening to this and feeling miserable…. Difficult. Aretha Franklin - Baby I Love You
Kevin Wayne Williams9Token One: "Fat Man in the Bathtub" Can't really explain this one ... but it gets me happy and dancing when I need it.
Azonei9And token 2 is another fun song (for me at least), a little surprised it hadn't been selected already (but there are so many great songs, it's not totally surprising) The B52's - Love Shack youtu.be/9SOryJvTAGs?...
Jay the Ent-Larch9Token 2: “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten youtu.be/xo1VInw-SKc
typical "Where's my ballroom?" mob9This one got me through some rough times in the mid '80's A lively weird banjo intro then, the band comes in and then Michael Stipe's voice... "When I was young and full of grace, and spirited, a rattlesnake..." Token 2 is REM with "I Believe"
mmch.bsky.social9After an unexpectedly busy afternoon, here’s Token 2. The check shirt wizard, the immortal Rory Gallagher, playing Out On The Western Plain.

Mícheál de Brún9Short and sharp, works like a triple espresso on an empty stomach before a 10 hour shift in retail. Warning audiophiles; tis rough sounding. Token 2 Half Japanese Paint It Black youtu.be/rC-lEsyqr7Q?...
George 9Going round in circles trying to pick another song. So, giving up and going for something completely different that fits the bill from another playlist! Token 2: The Radetzky March youtu.be/ztSI9DxsLyc?...
SinisterBulb8Hi Moo! First thing that came to mind was this… Token 1 Mr Scruff - Music Takes Me Up youtu.be/Ojl2KLCGT4I?...
Libation Legacy🍸8Token 2 is "Jaboobie's March" by The Piano Choir, from their 1973 album Handscapes. The joy of seven pianists at once should cheer anyone up. Led by Stanley Cowell, with some of the members on hand percussion on this track. youtu.be/CDqV6RFGsDg?...
Jo Welch8Token 1: Ella Fitzgerald It’s A Lovely Day Today www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Yw... This always makes me feel better, even on gloomy days, once I start singing / playing it.
mmch.bsky.social8This is an excellent topic. We’ll know a bit more about each other by the end of the day. Great first pick by the way.
Joost8Hello Moo & Kitty What an inspiring jukebox today My token 1, from a Dutch artist, of whom I posted songs previously Anouk - Break Down the Wall
Michael Gallagher 8Thank you so much for hosting today, Moo. ♥️ My final track always gets my blood pumping and it's one that I've cherished for over 50 years now. Second attempt. 😅😂 Token 2 Patti Smith: Land
Melony Klein8Token 2: Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Hi-Tech Jazz Tough call, but this immediately came to mind youtu.be/tkjDI_9sSz0?...
Kevin Wayne Williams7Token Two A more traditional take on the topic with "Let's Work Together" by Canned Heat. For the Brits here ... did the girls on "Top of the Pops" actually dance this awkwardly and off-beat, or is that an artifact of the video?
Token 2: New Radicals - You Get What You Give youtu.be/DL7-CKirWZE?...
Hi Moo, Kitty and everyone! Token 1: Daniel Powter - Bad Day youtu.be/gH476CxJxfg?...

Marsha6Oh. Yes. Great song for me to wake up to today
Jetboy Jetgirl6Great opener :-) A band I always kind of liked but was a little indifferent to until I saw them live (with the Sisters in support!!) and finally ‘got’ them.
Gareth Oakland 🇫🇷🏏🏉6And there’s only one song that my daughter put on the list. Always makes me sing it out loud when it comes around. (It’s a terrible song but these things are awful personal aren’t they?) Token 2. The Wanted. Walks like Rihanna.
Ytsrïk5It’s Dave’s birthday today! Something popped up on Facebook to remind me. 64 today, sometimes I think it’s miraculous that he’s still here and making music.
Azonei4Morning all, and thanks to Moo for hosting Kitty this week. Token 1 goes to The Mission - Like a Child Again Not one of their 'classic' songs, but uplifting for me, nonetheless youtu.be/3i2j9XtooKI?...
I LOVE Personal Jesus. It gets stuck in my head for days! Excellent pick!
David Garlick2Like Michael, I have my thinking cap on, but I've got to say, I didn't expect SO many songs I'd never heard before.
🇦🇺 Michael2Do you think Johnny Cash understood the lyrics when he covered this? Strange choice for someone so outwardly religious at times ..
Happy Birthday to Dave Gahan, songwriter and lead vocalist for Depeche Mode born in Epping, England 🏴 64 years ago today. What are your favourite songs by Depeche Mode or Dave Gahan as a solo artist? #DaveGahan
Rainbow is still not tall, dark or handsome, unfortunately6I have a soft spot for Personal Jesus.
Leda Immortelle6Hand signed 7” from my personal archive way back when with Vince Clarke just their second single David really has matured like a fine red wine over all these years Definitely 1st Cru terroir Bordeaux Songs of Faith & Devotion era is my personal go to & yes check out his solo albums if unfamiliar
I Prefer Drummers 🍁6So many, but Strangelove is my absolute favourite. youtu.be/MHRabky4Ajc
Larky McRory 🏴🇪🇺4It's No Good is one of my all time favourite songs. Lots of other great stuff over the years.
AeschTunes3I like so much of Depeche Mode vast catalog, as well as Dave Gahan's solo material, that I can't narrow it down to just 250 characters.
Julie 🖤🎼3Stripped Policy Of Truth Enjoy The Silence Never Let Me Down Again Sister Of Night
Shannon Reardon 🇨🇦3Enjoy the Silence Never Let Me Down Again Behind the Wheel Halo Stripped
Sleeptalk2I think Shake The Disease is possibly one of favourite songs of all time, let alone by Depeche Mode. There are so many amazing songs. In today's political climate, I find myself thinking about People Are People and Where's The Revolution a lot.
Paul2Nothing, Stripped, Shake the Disease, Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth.
