    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? ;)

    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?

    i think the dream album i had would qualify as a dark christmas album. lemme find it, here on the COF boards somewhere...

  16. RandyJuly 14, 2008 at 3:44 PM

    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".

  18. MareeJuly 14, 2008 at 3:52 PM

    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

    Me? I vote for Black Celebration! No wait...

    Not to start another "argument", but the song is called THE Perfect Boy. No A in it. : )

  26. PhoenixAeternumJuly 14, 2008 at 5:17 PM

    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....

  42. Dumb AnguishJuly 14, 2008 at 8:52 PM

    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?? :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Dumb AnguishJuly 14, 2008 at 9:16 PM

    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"

  46. Dumb AnguishJuly 14, 2008 at 9:21 PM

    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? :)

    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.

    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.

  63. RandyJuly 15, 2008 at 11:22 AM

    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!
