Adidas and Google revealed a new talking sneaker prototype at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas last weekend.

At this point, Depeche Mode songs pretty much write themselves -- lust, obsession, redemption, repeat -- and onstage, given the band's reliance on prerecorded synth sounds, they could probably play themselves, too. But during Monday night's (March 11) 'Live on Letterman' taping, an hourlong performance shot at the Ed Sullivan Theater and webcast live via CBS and VEVO, the Mode steered clear of autopilot, proving why, after 30-something years, they're still the slinkiest, sexiest electro-gospel pop outfit this planet full of sinners has ever known.

March 8, 2013 Do you see the ball hover just before Jamal Crawford passed=sthe ball between his legs? I think he is some sort of sorcerer and realized at the last second not to demonstrate his abilities in front of so many people and cameras.
