I found this documentary they did of their album CRUSH with these lovely songs that I like so much and you just have to watch this. It has everything interesting to me—cute boys, songwriting, awesome music, fun, fun, fun! And doesn't the guy with the trombone look like Matt Damon?
I love watching them talk and interact and just the whole recording process—big smile!
Sweet Paul—cute, sweet, cute!
I have no idea what they're saying sometimes, hahaha! I need subtitles—especially for the Malcolm guy!
I love hearing about how they get their ideas and about their history—how they didn't even know they were writing pop music till after the fact. I read somewhere amidst all this research that they're self-taught musicians, neither one of them knows how to read music and they have their own notation style—that's so awesome. Very inspirational.
So good! I love it, I love it, I love it! Let's watch it again!

I have the movie. OMD are my favorite band. I can copy the movie for you (DVD) if you want a copy. Hit me up on Facebook if you do.
The irony is just about three years after this movie, the band broke up with the lead singer and the other three members having a big falling out. Andy McCluskey kept going with OMD with other members until the mid 1990s before he gave it up and started writing and producing other acts behind the scenes.
The good news is the lads patched things up and they are all back together again and happy. They even put out a new album last year.
I'm glad they are back together. They have such great chemistry and good energy as a group.
