MODEFAX:

Dave joined the band after hearing them rehearse in a scout-hut!

They used 'People Are People' as the theme tune for agreeable children's telly programme It'll Never Work!

Dave technically died for 2 minutes in 1996!

You get THIRTEEN ticks across all these UK Top 40 hits. Blimey!

Again with the correlation, but I wonder if there can be any link made between Violator's hideously MTV friendly videos, and the introduction of Sky Television (and therefore making MTV available) around 1990.

Will admit this is probably shite considering MTV Europe was already being broadcast from 1987, but it's not like it was ubiquitous, certainly in the UK, until into the v.early 90s.
