yawn.
ReplyDeletewait! will they take me with them on their spaceship?
Not a DM fan? I love them, so I'm quite excited. No yawning here.
ReplyDeletei saw them in 1998 or 99 at the forum- pretty fun show. but musically, they haven't done anything for me since 1989.
ReplyDeleteI am excited, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI would hope so, V! ; )
ReplyDeletethank you craig!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei was waiting for this, but thanks for posting this even if it is COF!
No problem, Andy. : )
ReplyDeleteoooo, they mentioned daryl. such fun these guys are, i can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI saw them a couple of years ago and they were fantastic. I'm bummed no US dates (yet). Los Angeles loves them.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Saw Sigur Ros and Dandy Warhols this week - AMAZING
Cureheart: North and South American dates are coming. They'll be announced a bit later.
ReplyDeleteLOL! they're going to wear thongs and studs.
ReplyDeletei'm recording the stream for my girlfriend to watch at a later time. good press conference. great questions, glad they liked the Coldplay video tribute.
ReplyDeleteNorth and South American dates are coming. They'll be announced a bit later.
ReplyDeleteim have heart attack!!!!!!!!!!!!
im about to have heart arythmia too exploding C :)
ReplyDeleteYES! Wow, if The Cure comes back, I will be spending A LOT of money next year
ReplyDeleteWow! Totally excited!
ReplyDeleteI started out listening to Depeche Mode in the 90's and their music was always compared to The Cure. So I started listening to The Cure and have much love for both bands. I am VERY excited about both albums. Cure album this month, Depeche Mode album in April, Cure dark album in Summer?? It just doesn't get any better than that. (Except for maybe another new Nine Inch Nails album next year as well.)
ReplyDeleteNooo don´t spoil me with a rumour about a South American tour :D
ReplyDeleteI may even start to believe that 2009 will be a year with BOTH Cure and DM tours! Even with Fletcher from DM looking like a German Chemistry teacher
I guess that I´ll have to get another job.
in montréal !!!! je l'espère !!

ReplyDeleteif anyone wants to download the stream
I'm excited for all the DM fans, but I still NEED my Wishful Thinking tour.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Hi everyone, life is good in sunny Queensland - but I am missing my cure friends HEAPS.
Elise - Welcome to Queensland!! Glad that your enjoying being here!
ReplyDeleteAre you holidaying on the Gold Coast?
i'm trying to remember, but where did the Wishful Thinking Tour title come from Elise?
ReplyDeletenew song snippets from DM - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7TlVMGeobs
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy! I like what I'm hearing. Especially the first song.
ReplyDeleteYeah, thanks andythedmfan. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that first song! It must leak tonight! : )
ReplyDeleteSo the songs are named Wrong and Peace? That's what I'm seeing.
ReplyDeleteyep, i've been called andythecurefan, andythesmithsfan, and now thedmfan, great. always stick to my roots with the cure though. and i'm totally saving up for this!
ReplyDeleteelise!!! Stay away! Enjoy your Internet-free vacation! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm there!
ReplyDeleteI love Depeche Mode, can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteBut The Cure is way better in concert, sorry about stating the truth so bluntly.
Who wants to bet that DM's album will be released before 4:13 Dream?
ReplyDelete(JUST KIDDING!, i hope!!!!!!)
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYO! My two favorite bands just happen to be The Cure and Depeche! Robert could learn a lot from them, too. Book studio time, record an album, and announce firm tour dates months in advance knowing the album WILL BE DONE ON TIME!! I'm starting to wonder if we'll hear the DM album before 4:13Dream!!
ReplyDeleteThis video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by EMI Music
ReplyDeleteIt looks like EMI had the "Wrong" and "Peace" clips taken down. :(
Said EMI spokeperson: It was Wrong, Peace dude!
ReplyDeleteWe need to take it down...
<_< bad I know.
Totally. I didn't listen to them last night because I wanted to wait until I wasn't sleepy to hear them for the first time. Didn't know the mighty "E" would strike before I had my chance! ;) I snooze, I lose!
ReplyDeleteAndy: Any chance of uploading the file somewhere?

i think there's a limit of watching 10 videos on Megavideo a day, sorry.
wow, EMI is being real strict on this.
ReplyDeletehttp://sharebee.com/7929bca6
download the file then.
Andy: Thanks. I downloaded it, but the clip doesn't have sound. Problem on my end?
ReplyDeleteThe problem with Depeche Mode live is that they pretty much only play the 'Greatest Hits' and new songs.
ReplyDeleteAnd they rarely bring back songs from the past.
craig - i played it in VLC Media Player fine (videolan.org)
ReplyDeleteI love Depeche Mode and I agree with millertime. I've seen them many times and they tend to play the same old, same old songs.
ReplyDeleteStill I'll most likely go because they put on a decent show and I haven't seen them for years.
Swifty - yes, I am here on the GOld Coast until Saturday and then we are off to Port Douglas for the week.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you?
Fantac- I can internet if I wanna!!!!!
Hey Elise, I'm an hour up the road in Brissy. My wife works at the Coast...some mornings she spends at Dreamworld. Are you staying around Surfers/Broadbeach? Give me a buzz if you need any Gold Coast info or advice or anything really. :)
ReplyDeleteHey elise!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a great vacation and the weather is beatiful!
Have fun, relax & enjoy your time off with your hubby! :)
Miss ya in morning chats but then I can't really get on much myself! My boss is on a rampage and it's all work work work. Oh well back to the grind........
Can't wait for Mode. First saw them in Toronto in 1990 (Violator) and have seen them three or four times since.
ReplyDeleteA great band that keeps putting out quality material.
That would be troublesome if DM's new album and The Cure's "dark" album came out simaltaneously. Which one to listen to first? Which one to give more attention to?
ReplyDeleteBut at the same time that'd be pretty cool...
If they come out at the same time......Well hands down I'd listen to the possible Dark Cure Album (actually any new Cure album) many times before any new Depeche Mode Album. But eventually I'd get to DM's new stuff too. Maybe after 25 listens to The Cure before I switched over.
ReplyDeleteI love DM but no way I'd put a new album form them over a new Cure Album. The Cure are so much better! :)
Swifty,
ReplyDeleteI am spending Saturday in Brisbane, wandering the city, waiting for our flight to Port Douglas. If you wanna catch up let me and hubby let me know.
warning - hubby is not a Cure fan (weirdo) - great taste in woman, crap taste in music!!!
Off to 'one' of the parks today - not sure which.
Elise: Some folks have real bad musical tastes don't they.What's hubby into? Bananarama or something:)
ReplyDeleteMy wife thinks The Cure are weird and strange...she thinks they should name one of there songs Smash Smash Butterfly!! WTF!!!
Her cd collection probably isn't that abysmal, but personally Maroon 5 and Matchbox 20 etc leave me feeling cold.
Anyhow, Would be great to catch up however I work on Saturday 2 jobs, so I'll be busy from 10am - 10pm.
I'm free Friday evening if you'll be up here then. If not, have a good trip up north!
ps. My wife likes classical music so for our wedding ceremony a string quartet played JLH and POY...a nice compromise!
well, I'll be anxiously awaiting new DM and a tour that may or may not come to where I live... anyways PTA 'far' outweighed "The Cure" no holds barred... but The Cure at least changes up their setlists for live shows far more... WTF I'd go see DM regardless if they play the same songs all across the universe..
ReplyDeleteSwifty - I am glad I am not the only person with a partner with "different" musical taste. but I loved your wedding compromise!!!
ReplyDeleteWow - two jobs! You are busy man. Oh well, maybe we can catch up another time.
Our flight out of Brisbane is at 9PM, so I don't think we will be able to catch up. What a shame.
Good to know where you are based though - everyone's time zones can get confusing on COF!!!
Elise- Yes, the time zones are crazy.Perth is probably 12 hours ahead of CMT ie Craig Mean Time, so you just swap am/pm around and thats the time at COF central!
ReplyDeleteI might sound busy, but dont worry, I don't work too hard.
A shame about our schedules...it would have been nice to meet up for a mini-Curedrink with you.
See you some time then !
Have a great remaining holiday !
PS On Saturday arvo..until 4.30.. my work number is 33791848. I'd be happy if you called for a quick hello. Ask to speak to Swifty, but I may answer. :*)
Yeah! Got my tickets for Copenhagen :) Now I´m only waiting for Neil Halstead and/or Mojave 3 to come to Sweden or Denmark soon, then it makes the last couple of years complete concert-wise
ReplyDeleteSwifty - sorry I didn't call - we ended up changing to an earlier flight, so didn't have a lot of time to spare in brissy.
ReplyDeleteThats OK Elise. Sorry about Brissies weather on Saturday, it was pretty ordinary. Although we do need the rain!!
ReplyDeleteI retract my previous statement about not working too hard. Just had a really busy weekend and now I'm stuffed. Now i'm gonna relax in COF-land... soo excited about The Cure at the moment! :^)
