The Cure

It took me a lot of back and forth debates with myself about who would take the runner-up and number one spots on this top 10 list, but after some serious pen biting and head scratching I've decided that the number two spot goes to the legendary members of the Cure. This was my third time seeing them (the first was when I was in the fifth grade on their Bloodflowers tour, and the second was at Curiosa when I was a sophomore in high school) and it was nothing short of magical...

Remembrance of Things Past: Friday Night The Cure at Madison Square Garden: 1) Wake up to "Six Different Ways" set on my alarm
2) Doodle Robert Smith on a spare scrap of the NY Post
3) Re-read all his infamous interviews from Rollingstone looking for inspiration
4) Think about how guilty all those major labels that first rejected the skinny kids from London's Crawley suburbs back in the day. Think about how many bands I know currently in the same predicament and... MORE

There's a massive heatwave hitting SoCal. It was a 115 degrees yesterday and today it topped 106 in Pasadena. We're moving to our new place in Monrovia by the 4th of July, I hope it's going to cool down before then. I had to pick this Cure song to match the heat that's outside. We've been chilling inside all day long. I watched The Cubs come back and beat the south-siders Sox with a walk off homer by Aramis Rameriz while switching back and forth to Euro Cup 2008 game betwee... MORE

Taz. for some reason i keep thinking about him. he was my buddy in 1st grade. well i dont think he liked me but i was his friend. Maybe up some where he appreciates it but even if he dosent im glad i knew him. It was a long time ago. But it is fresh in my mind. Maybe i repressed it and now im able to cope with it. I never want to burry a friend. again. Killian died almost a year ago he had just turned 15. I dont belive in a god because what selfish prick would rip a kid a way... MORE

They made some solid videos - MTV pioneers. Put together a mashup of what I think are their greatest hits. Check it out here or below.

After two years of Isiah Thomas, its good to know there's going to be somthing worth watching in MSG On June 20th, The Cure will be performing in said venue. Still as great as ever. I know every fan probably has some favorite song of them that's more obscure than this one, but to me this one's just too good. From their Three Imaginary Boys Album, Boys Don't Cry.... MORE

Nice, just noticed this in all it's remastered and bonus tracked out glory and almost broke my fingers going clicky clicky...

Sooo...I'm here. I have a feeling that I would really like this place...if I had a working CD drive, or maybe an unlimited Rhapsody account, or anything that would allow me to take full advantage of it. le sigh In any case, I uploaded a picture (lame), chose a skin (unoriginal, so...lame), and played a song to commemorate The Cure concert that I will be attending later this week (not lame). Damn, for a musician, you'd think that I could be more on top of things li... MORE

It seems the Cure are taking every precaution to unjinx the release of their 13th studio album. Fear of the number 13 is common news for airports and hotels, with gate 13 or floor 13 being omitted from many. But the Cure are looking triskaidekaphobia in the eye and releasing four A & B side singles each month up, the first on May 13th, up until the the release of their as yet untitled thirteenth studio album on September 13th. That's a lot of 13s. The May 1... MORE

I just have a thing for extended mixes for some reason, so here's another one. This is off the North American 12" release for In Between Days by The Cure (yea I'm a massive Cure fan too). The N. American release had an extended mix of this song, while the rest of the world just got the short mix plus two different songs on the B-side (The Exploding Boy and A few Hours After This; the B-side of the N. American release has the short mix on the A-side with the Extended Mix ... MORE
