30-day Depeche Mode Challenge

30-day challenge is a popular meme on microblogging site Tumblr and other blogs, and it occasionally pops up on other social media sites. A motivated fan created a 30-day Depeche Mode Song Challenge on Facebook a few months ago. The point is an exercise in discipline – can I post once a day for 30 days? I didn’t have a chance to participate during the holidays, but I’ve revised the Facebook challenge to better suit the blog format (and fix typos and awkward grammar). In this version, not all days will be song-related, but several will. Feel free to cut and paste and submit your own answers, either in your own blog/tumblog or as comments! See after the jump for each day’s challenge – my day one will be posted in a separate post.

Amanda is an enthusiastic, globe-trotting Mode fan who discovered the band in late 1998. Although she often feels like she got a late start in the Depeche Mode's career, she's survived nearly 20 years of the fandom, five new albums and multiple meetings with her love for the band intact (and stronger than ever). Amanda is a life-long creative, a classically trained graphic designer, working professionally as a User Experience Designer for one of the world's largest technology companies. When not at work or traveling for Depeche, she enjoys character illustration, comics, movies and Japanese Culture. And cats. Lots of Cats.
