Great News, we already knew that but now we "officialy" can jump off to the roof because the happines and joy.
Craig, further info on the b-side title ?
:)
Just 30 days ahead for PB and 60 for the album !!!
Isn´t that very exciting, folks ?
WOWWWWW ¡¡¡
;)
:)
No b-side yet. When he has it, he will let us know. : )
Loads of good news, today. Puts me in a good mood! A mood to wear a monocle! o_q
yay!!!! :) *opens bottle of wine*
If I'm honest, I secretly hope that A Boy I Never Knew is the B-Side for that. Just so that it's released one month earlier... ;)
No way that they would "waste" ABINK on a b-side. I'm sure it will be the lead off single for the "dark album" at Christmas. ; )
Okay... if it goes that way it would be even better. But I guess my dream is way more realistic, eh? ;)
Thanks craig! Great news once again today!!! I'm so excited for A Perfect Boy!!!!!
Thirty more days to go!!! :)
Yay! :^D
The Dark Christmas album is a dream. A wonderful dream, but a dream still.
But you'd let us know if you've been hearing echoes, wouldn't you, Craig?
hynreck, you're very fancy!
let's think up names for the dark christmas album!
i dont have one!
i'm too excited!
Of course I would...if I could. : )
"I'll Be Dead By Christmas"
"Winter Wasteland"
"Frosty the Manic Depressive"
"It's The Most Miserable Time Of the Year"
"Silver Razor Blades"
Just for a start. : )
LOL craig!
i think the dream album i had would qualify as a dark christmas album. lemme find it, here on the COF boards somewhere...
yay, here it is. perfectly gloomy xmas stuff! a dream i had a couple weeks ago.
***
after i was done chasing some girl around this old decrepit house, through silent, spidery rooms unseen for years, we ended up in this incredibly bright green backyard. she pulled a picnic basket out of nowhere like a magic trick, and inside she had copies upon copies of the new cure album.
it was called 'empty seas' and the cover was some strange version of the cover of faith. like a cathedral, dusty and terrifying, with these really creepy faces peering out of the streaked windows.
there were 17 or 18 songs. the tracklist, as best i can remember it, was like this:
1- intro: the empty seas
2- shadows inside
3- something beyond this
4- always
5- the cathedral
6- visions
7- ?
8- berryhead (?)
9- death from dreams (i think)
10- ?
11- towns
12- underneath the stars
13- reaching
14- various things
15- ?
16- the dog and bones
17- coming into light
18- scary faces
As from september 13 they should bring out one album every 13th until the final Christmas one called "Underneath the star is a Baby Rag Dog (holy)Book about a Boy I never knew".
I think a dark hexmas album that is the darkest, gloomiest ever made would seriously make our West coast monsoon season far more tolerable... names? Dunno... in keeping with the "Dream 13" motif, perhaps "All Too Real?" Heh. Okay, I suck at names for other people's creative projects... :^P
"It's The Most Miserable Time Of the Year" gets mah vote! :D
monkeybutt, berryhead???
RALFs...
Merry Crotchmess!
sofia, that's one of the ? ones, so maybe it was something else.
anyway, if i could control my dreams, i'd have a lot more sex during them.
i dont have one!
i'm too excited!
...
lol Sofia, that's the weirdest title for a christmas album ever! Or any album!
Me? I vote for Black Celebration! No wait...
Oh I know: The Dark Christmas Album (the one I hinted at and no-one took me seriously but here it is as promised and now will you all shut up for once and enjoy it and I'm tired of you complainers but... ONWARDS!!)
Nightmares 13?
Oh, and Monkeybutt - me too!
Me likey ABP very muchly. Can't wait.
Not to start another "argument", but the song is called THE Perfect Boy. No A in it. : )
I have to wonder if Underneath the Stars will be on the September album. It sounds like it would fit PERFECTLY on the Dark Christmas album to me....
I sort of hope it's not on the September album, actually. That would give some much needed credibility to the Dark Christmas record....
A!
Actually, I wasn't sure and I was going to ask but then I got all shy about it.
So let me amend my post:
My likey TBB muchly!
er, TPB
DOH!
tyler, don't give RSX any ideas, PLEASE! cuz i don't want to wait until Xmas 2020 to hear UTS! i agree with you and all, but i want to hear it NOW!
i hope one of the songs is called "Jingle Bell Frock" and it's straight porn!
Yes, I'm really looking forward to that XXXmas album now...
RSXXX can jingle my bell anytime...
ClockWise, ABP?
A beautiful pony?
A berfect poy?
You got a cold?
It's out of control, I tell ya! Everyone is going mad! : )
cat, you suck today! :D
Cat: Only one B in the title. : )
MB: I suck everyday, if ya know what I mean...
Craig, no more Cure news today... I can't emotionally take it! Besides, I need to unpack and then SLEEP.
And I don't wanna do what when I'm dead and all.
er, i mean THAT!
i do indeed suck... in so many ways...
i'm off! no more from moi EVER again!
My official guess on the dark holiday album is -
"Nightmare before Christmas"
HA!!
Oh BTW, I don't know if anyone saw these, but I got my Todd Slater Cure poster today! It's so beyooooootiful!
WHAT? i LOVE it! WHY CANT I BUY IT?! D;
I don't know Sofia! I had to email them directly to ask about it.
YAY!!!! "The" Perfect Boy.
I'm excited.....
What... no "Laughing at The Christmas Lights" on the dark album?
Oh man. Reading these comments and I found the perfect title for the rumored (but, we all know ultimately not gonna happen) dark Christmas album.
"Dark Christmas"
That's what you call it. Oh man, how deliciously depressing is that?? :)
Hi DA - long time no speak.
How is the job hunting going?
By the way, Craig. You left out the essential new Cure classic:
"Twelve Days of Christmas (Is Twelve Too Many"
Can't you hear Robert Smith Wailing:
"Twelve shattered pictures
Eleven daydreams bleeding
Ten nightmares screaming
Nine children drowning
Eight secrets pounding
Seven fractured voices
Six selfish choices
FIVE WHISPERED LIES (that always has to be the loudest)
Four wasted years
Three million fears
Two snow-laced tears
And a boy alone by the tree"
DA - that is BRILLIANT! I'm gonna start singing those lyrics ALL the time now.
Hey Elise!! Good to see you again. The job hunt continues. I mean, my situation could be much much worse. I'm actually still employed, and when they do finally lay me off, I'll get a heck of a severance package.
But, still I am just so anxious to find a new job. Mainly because they have had us in a situation of perpetual uncertainly for months at my job. Basically telling us: We are definitely going to lay you off. But we're not sure when yet. Its like I've been holding my breath for months and its sucking my soul away.
And its a pride thing. I would love to be able to march in there and say, "You can take your (bleeping bleep) job and stick it right up your (bleeping bleep) and I'll hope that it sticks up there for several days"
Ya know? :)
Craig:
You can't ride a Bunny!
...And we'll never know until he posts the answer, or till the album comes out...
:P
Dumb Anguish:
That reminds me of Edward Gorey! <333
Anah, I loved Gorey. I loved him even more when I found out that was actually his real last name.
Oh I'm a big lover of Gothic novels. I just finished re-reading "The Monk" for the first time in a long, long time. Oh was that ever twisted! :)
O.o I haven't heard of that one, I'll go look it up. I am constantly devouring books, and on the look out for more!
DA - there is nothing worse than living your life on a treadmill - knowing that you want to be somewhere else, but every step takes you back to the same place.
I will keep my fingers crossed that the perfect job will come your way soon.
Speaking of work, I really must get back to it.....
Catchya!
Or for more recent stuff. Anything by Poppy Z Brite. Her first book "Lost Souls" is still my favorite.
OK Elise. Good to talk to you again! !
Elise~! Hi hon!! Yes, go back to work, but know that I send you a *hug* :)
Ah craig, I'm just as guilty as cat calling TPB, APB in my post earlier. I'm not having a good typing day today! 1st FYI instead FYE & now this. I'm losing it!!!
"Seven fractured voices
Six selfish choices"
genius.
DA great reworking of The 12 Days of Christmas!!!
Still looking for a job? I'm just starting looking again, but I just want to get out of the place I'm at. Must be frustrating trying to look for something good before getting laid off! That really stinks! Good Luck to you!
I'm Dreaming of a Dark Christmas
CD by The Cure come December
Were the songs are moody and kind of depressing.......
A Cure Christmas album would be absolutely perfect. But only if it was gloomy.
not to be a wet blanket - but i dont think the cure will release the christmas album, remember how this current album was due for spring 07? or something like that?
hows that for depressing.
good luck anguish! all the best to you and your job hunting :)
I've been wanting a Cure Christmas album for YEARS!!! And a Morrissey one too.
Heh, your xmas carols remind me of the ones my sis and I did back in the day... early 80s. We did one about the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster: (Imagine a group of punk rockers singing to the tune of "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem")
Oh little town of Middleton
How well the experts lie
Above thy deep and restless sleep
The radon gas blows by...
etc
Heh... good times.
Anyway, xmas time doesn't mean xmas themed, mercifully.
things that will happen when the cure release a 'dark christmas' album in december 08:
1- my head asplkodes
2- i suddenly play 2 late blindfolded & fluently on my acoustic guitar
3- PONIES
4- george w. bush admits there were no weapons and he just wanted to fuck everyone about
5- gas drops to $1/gallon
6- 5tour worldwide, with 4 nights in los angeles, 1 a private event for my bday on the 30th
7- i write a novel
plus lots of other stuff that will never happen!
hey monkeybutt- but they signed a three record deal yeah?so maybe roberts gonna give us the dark record asap to get him out of the crappy grips of suretone/geffen/universal... then be free to release copious amouts of new material over the net whenever they feel like it:)
j'espère le 12 sur itunes us&canada
Oi, Oi, Oi!! What's all this about a "Dark Christmas Album" and giving us info "if you could"?!?? You know something we don't know don't you, Craig? You naughty boy...
Dumb Anguish, that 12 Days is Classic!!!
