Bernard Lenoir show

Just a reminder that Bernard Lenoir is supposed to play another new song from 4:13 Dream on his show today. You can listen to the live stream here (just click on Direct or the speaker icon). His show runs from 10-11pm in France.

Update: Bernard says no new Cure tonight. TMU is mad that UTS was posted online, so they will not let him play another new song.

Update 2: "Thought I'd explain a few things about tonight's debacle. From the start Lenoir and his guest (who specialises in old stuff, hence the Dylan and such ) joked about the fact that they couldn't play any more new songs - from the way they said it, it sounded like Robert was pissed off with them, but I think it's probably more universal. Nothing serious anyway. Lenoir's friendship with Rob goes back to the time when he wrote the instrumetnal for what was to become "just like heaven" for him.

The good news is that they said that the album, although no Disintegration, was not a disappointment. They meant to play "the hungry ghost", which was a favourite of theirs. They described "UTS" as sumptuous.

Also, the guest, Hugo, writes reviews in a arty paper (telerama) that sells very well here in France, and Lenoir asked him if they planned on interviewing robert. He replied he'd be delighted but Robert has told them he doesn't want to do any interviews right now.

Shame about tonight. They did say they'd cheat again and play some more before the 27th."

(Thanks Sylvain)

  11. Eric wouldn't be able to translate. I could, but I'm at the job and it's more simple if I just don't!!
    Anyway, just keep your ears open for 2 words: The Cure. That's your aural cue.

    ReplyDelete

    maybe im just a bit too excited X)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  23. 2 more "classic" songs of the undertones are coming now

    ReplyDelete
  24. they'll prolly play Cure at the end I'm guessing. Or maybe it'll be next song (after this one) cuz UTS was played only 13 minutes in (i think?)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh craig I hope they don't wait till the end. I can't take the suspense anymore!

    ReplyDelete
  33. because underneath the stars was so quickly on the web - the mighty U was angry and forbid them to play a new song tonight

    ReplyDelete
  34. My favorite Belle & Sebastian song!!! Woohoo!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. There will not be The Cure tonight

    ReplyDelete
  36. said they wanted to play the hungry ghost... but that they won't cause we are all obsessed dorks.

    ReplyDelete
  37. but they said they won't probably wait the 27th before they play another one... the hungry ghost seems to be THE song in the album and UTS as well

    ReplyDelete
  38. Think he didn't get clearance from TMU? They removed the clip that was on YouTube.

    ReplyDelete
  39. LOL Cure fans shooting themselves in the feet??
    How's that possible?

    ReplyDelete
  40. :*(

    No cure......... I'm a sad panda. Well being optimistic; 2 more days until we get the entire album LIVE!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Isn't this what they want? Hype? Whipping us fans into a frenzy? Well, that's what they've got sister!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. GAH!!! Went on youtube to see if it was really gone, and it is... /sigh

    If anything this only creates massive hype, the internet is the best place to start hype nowadays.

    Grats TMU : /

    ReplyDelete
  43. What not new Cure? Is it true they are not going to play anything new? I wanna cry! :(

    ReplyDelete
  44. He said that fans tonight will be punished no new song because there was dissemination of UTS on the Net

    ReplyDelete
  45. BRB, buying pitchforks and pre-flaming sticks and imma start a riot. Any one in? There will be cake :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm going to keep listening, anyway. Just in case they sneak it in.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Roll on Saturday in Rome, then prayers will be for rain... and new hail

    ReplyDelete
  48. They are trying to make us lower our guard!!



    KEEP LISTENING




    ...craig said so.




    I'll be going back home now...

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'm in denial - I think he's screwing with us. This is the country that thinks Jerry Lewis is hysterically funny, after all. I'll put up with a sick sense of humor if we get a song in the end!

    ReplyDelete
  50. ans they don't want to upset Bob

    ReplyDelete
  51. onnihopedream I'll join you at the riot party esp if there will be cake!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. This radio station is better than anything in the States, not even close.

    Maybe I'll listen to this every day and learn some French in the process.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Gah, I'll keep listening, there is still a little bit of hope right?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hey, I'm not saying they'll play it, but I'm sticking around, just in case.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'll keep listening too craig but I don't know how much Bob Dillon I can take!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Sorry, TMU said we can't riot, nor eat cake this week. : /

    ReplyDelete
  57. CURE friends @ France:

    Is there a way to call the radiostation and tell them that half of the world are waiting for listening a new song and this half is now crying becauses they don´t want to give us some gift ?

    *despair sighs*

    ReplyDelete
  58. Whaat? Obsessed dork? Sitting listening to two blokes talking in a language I don't understand in the lame hope that they're yanking our chain? Not me :0)

    Not that obsessed, though; two successive Bob Dylan tracks is more than I can take! "Click"

    ReplyDelete
  59. "This is the country that thinks Jerry Lewis is hysterically funny, after all."
    what do you want ? start another war ??? ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  60. to mad bob : radio france knows that half of the world is listening , don't worry we are on their website sending spams "just play cure - fuck TMU"

    ReplyDelete
  61. And finally Lenoir he said he had very good songs on this album
    I do not know but he had no doubt that it would be hijacked UTS non ?????

    ReplyDelete
  62. mad bob - lol! i was thinking exactly that

    francois - aw, c'mon. let me have a little fun. I'm just jealous cuz you at least have a radio station that will play the Cure! : )

    ReplyDelete
  63. he just said that he got a lot of mails talking about dylan but far more talking about bob smith

    ReplyDelete
  64. all hell is breaking loose! it must be madness at every cure site :O ruuun!! is gozillaa!!! *japanese accent*

    ReplyDelete
  65. Thanks Francoise...

    I hope your messages will change they mind....

    :)

    * hoping sighs *



    The 2 French hosts are CURE fans ?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Maybe they will crack and just play it? ;)

    KEEP UP THE CURE SPAM LETTERZ!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Now they are playing Willie Nelson. Well I do like Willie but looks like our chances of getting anything new today are slim. I don't think they will sneak it in!

    ReplyDelete
  68. the 2 french hosts are very long time cure fans - sort of french John Peel , if you see

    ReplyDelete
  69. Francois c'est a quel endroit qu'on peut s'exprimer sur la chaine je veux participer

    ReplyDelete
  70. We want The Cure! We want The Cure! We want The Cure! We want The Cure!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  72. lol : dylan + nelson = the supreme goat

    ReplyDelete
  73. clicke sur contact carole et tu peux envoyer un mail en direct

    ReplyDelete
  74. Baby Rag OR Sleep when im dead, either would be a very nice treat. Preferably BRDG tho

    ReplyDelete
  75. french fans should break into the radio station, beat up the people and the host, take over the controls and play some new CURE!!!

    ReplyDelete
  76. they talked about bob smith once more and said that it was a big pain in the ass for them to not be allowed to play a new song tonight

    ReplyDelete
  77. or just peacefully stand outside with banners and signs that read "WE WANT THE CURE"

    ReplyDelete
  78. Nah, just beat up TMU, these guys did give us UTS afterall, they're cool in my book

    ReplyDelete
  79. LOL Carlos...

    I´m just picture that scene.....


    Tons of mad CURE fans outside the station, with a lot of CURE signs and screaming like freaks...

    I want to be there ¡¡¡

    LOL

    ReplyDelete
  80. send and email to them pretending to be TMU saying that they are allowed to play them again!!

    ReplyDelete
  81. yeah syd barrett after all , perhaps a little nick drake to finish ?

    ReplyDelete
  82. Carlos said...
    send and email to them pretending to be TMU saying that they are allowed to play them again!!


    Just don't sign the letters as "TMU" ;p

    ReplyDelete
  83. yeah it'd be fun to be there if it were actually happening

    ReplyDelete
  84. Well at least we know the DJ's want to play the song as much as we want to hear.

    Down with TMU!

    ReplyDelete
  85. You know Bernard really wants to play something. Do it Bernard, we've all got your back.

    ReplyDelete
  86. TMU is going to get TNT in they ASS

    ReplyDelete
  87. GO FOR IT AND IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE BLAME IT ON THE FANS! WE CAN TAKE THE HEAT THE TMU WILL GIVE OUT!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Those who are sending letters, throw in the possibility of "It's Over" there is a chance, if these guys are big Cure fans they could do it. And of course we got their backs 100%

    ReplyDelete
  89. Only 15 mins of the show ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

    WE NEED A REAL MIRACLE ¡¡¡¡

    grrrrrr.

    :(

    ReplyDelete
  90. this voice is Marianne Faithfull's. gosh.

    ReplyDelete
  91. i'll send an email!! i think we all should, that would put pressure, maybe they will understand the need for the songs because we are all fellow fans.. connected by our love to the band

    ReplyDelete
  92. For crying out loud - like TMU's going to spend any money or effort on promotion. Pu-lease. Those bastards really have it in for The Cure.

    ReplyDelete
  93. im searching for it, but im really slow in finding things

    ReplyDelete
  94. i'm afraid it's a bit late as the last songs are playing now but on the main page click on direct then "contact"

    ReplyDelete
  95. *SIIIIIIIGH*

    Well... I guess it's over : / no pun intended (maybe only slightly intended)

    ReplyDelete
  96. Yeah, I was wondering about that. I'm pretty sure Robert is upset, too. That was the whole cache of premiering the songs live. If the whole album is streamed and then downloaded, it could hurt record sales among medium fans. I know people who might love a certain band -- often bands that don't sell all that well -- but they say, "Ah, I have the mp3 already, why buy the album?" Dickish, I know, but it happens.

    Of course Chain of Flowers is different and everyone here will buy the album, so I meant no offense to the file sharing going on here, but if the stuff were posted around the net, it could pose a problem.

    Still haven't listened, though I'm extremely tempted.

    ReplyDelete
  97. i see know.. but still im a bit lost haha but anyway theres no point if the show is already ending, and yeah it was Suede

    ReplyDelete
  98. they just said they are selling their cds for 1000 euros.

    ReplyDelete
  99. omg, they said "The Cure" at the end and my stomach just fell, then this shit plays... Gaaaaaawd

    ReplyDelete
  100. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  101. they just said something about the cure and played a song but it is not the cure

    ReplyDelete
  102. Ha! Someone probably would pay that.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Just 6 more minutes to go & then I'm out of here! I'm disappointed that nothing new was played but I had fun in here this last hour! Felt like old times with all the tour blogs!!!

    Oh do I miss those days!!!

    ReplyDelete
  104. Ha Ha Ha Someone suggested euros for the 1000 album THE CURE is a true Fan !!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  105. This commercial, is it 100% officially over? No need to stay tuned at all?

    ReplyDelete
  106. aaw i was hoping they would play it :(

    ReplyDelete
  107. And It's Over!

    The show...not the song. : P

    ReplyDelete
  108. Apparently LENOIR meadows is a welcome Robert for an interview But Robert says he wants nothing to do for the moment That is the end of the emission

    ReplyDelete
  109. So now I'll be listening to his show, each and every day. Smart move, Bernard. : )

    ReplyDelete
  110. Well It's Over and it's time to go home! Se ya later peeps!

    ReplyDelete
  111. anyway they said earlier that they would probably not wait until the 27 TH of october to play another song. (if they didn't sell the CD though))))

    ReplyDelete
  112. So Bernard asked RS for an interview and he said he didn't want to do any? That explains a few things.

    ReplyDelete
  113. We won't have to wait too long for the next song, since we get the whole thing on the 11th anyway. I'd guess it'd be under a week, maybe just a few days

    ReplyDelete
  114. And bon soir to all of you. It's quittin' time. It's been fun with all you Cure peeps today.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Yknow, that's one good thing with Baby Rag's name. Easy puns :)

    ReplyDelete
  116. oh i'm so happy that this song wasn't the Cure.. you'll never know ;)) in these days...

    ReplyDelete
  117. yes, the other host is a french journalist for Telerama (culture newspaper), big fan of the Cure, he said he wanted to interview recently RS but RS doesn't want at the moment.

    ReplyDelete
  118. i am aching for interviews actually, i love them and this are going to be really interesting to bad he doesnt want at the moment

    ReplyDelete
  119. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Don´t forget that RSx has stated a lot of times that doing interviews, press conferences and such things like that is the most awful part of being in The CURE.

    So, maybe he is now getting ready up his mind for the incoming bunch of duties on this matter.

    But of course, any CURE interview is always welcome, we know certain details of CURE carrer that has been exposed on interviews.

    :)

  121. Hey Craig
    Monday to Thursday only Friday Saturday Sunday rest .......

    ReplyDelete
  122. first off, that Underneath the Stars mp3 that was posted yesterday sucked! quality wise. so Universal has nothing to worry about, it's a recording of a radio broadcast, not the type of quality i want, so there's no way that to me it'd affect the sales of the album.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Carole: Oh, guess we wait for Rome. : )

  126. good thing the album is no disintegration... now i am REALLY looking forward to it. :-P

    ReplyDelete
  127. Hey, clockwise cat, do you use AIM? My name on there is the same as here. Could you send me a message if you are on that?

    I would have messaged you through blogspot but I didn't seen how to do so...

    ReplyDelete
  128. By the way, "no Disintegration" is encouraging to me. The last two album were both, at one time or another, declared sequels to Disintegration. Well, in some sense that is true of Bloodflowers. But The Cure? Very little like Disintegration, that record.

    If they'd said it was "the best album since Disintegration," I would not trust that so much. That is what everyone wants to say. The Cure will never make another Disintegration. But they were an awesome band before Disintegration, so it shouldn't be the biggest problem in the world!

    "Not a disappointment" ... as assessment I'm much more inclined to believe!

    I like the singles, so I'm expecting some more great tracks! Looks good up ahead.

    Also, as an aside... It seems like Robert held back some pretty important tracks. Doesn't that make it likely that a "dark album" will really happen?

    And then the band will be free from TMU!
