Song of the Day
"Clean" by Depeche Mode
This is a really great, acoustic version of the song:

A great track from a great album. My personal favourites are 'Blue dress' and then 'Personal Jesus'. Reminds me of a mixed up girl I once loved.

(I interviewed the owner and hope to eventually write it up. I like that someone used the fall of communism to open up a business dedicated to their favorite band.)
An interesting take on this song was recorded by the noise metal band Converge if that;s the sort of thing you're into.
