Though it’s not entirely surprising that pop-synth vets Depeche Mode, who recently launched the first “iTunes Pass” are Macs, they way they expressed it in a recent interview was entertaining.
The Guardian asked them to link a song from their latest album to typical PC problems:
Guardian: Being in PC World, hoping to by an external disk drive to back up your important data, considering reliability to be more important than price.
Martin “Miles Away would be the best song on the new album for the situation, because Microsoft Vista is miles away from working. You wouldn’t find us in PC World, we’re all Mac users.”
Guardian: You can buy Macs in PC World now, you know.
Martin: “Well I wouldn’t know about that. Does Windows Vista work yet? (Chuckles) I wouldn’t like to be a beta tester for that!”
Dave: “Hard drives always crash. Make sure you back up!”
