Beau said...

I still can't believe the whole album is going to be played LIVE on tv. Brilliant.

I wish I was there but anyways, bring on the updates :D.

Carlos said...

explodingboy said...

Craig said...

Pietro says the VJ just announced that The Cure won't be on until 11pm. 3 more hours to wait. : (

onnihopedream said...

Carlos said...

WHAT!?? nooo:( that means i have to do homework =(

KelBel said...

Morris said...

Craig: I'll be in the Swamp watching UF vs. LSU.

Go Gators!

April said...

did anyone watch the fuse airing today on TV?

Carlos said...

Pink Eyes: como las 8:10 o 8:15 por hay

onnihopedream said...

Yeah I was watching Fuse a bit ago. Sad that UTS is cut out of it : /

But still I love it :)

April said...

dream - really? i was at work so I missed it. I've seen it a million times but its always nice to see it one more time! It never gets old!

April said...

i hope someone is going to tape the Charlotte airing!

onnihopedream said...

it's so much fun to watch purely for this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMEwE-THNx8

how Robert ends it cracks me up every time

sofia said...

hi everybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
oh gosh so excited right now!

v said...

Craig: Thanks for giving us all the start times for our respective time zones. :) You spoil us!

Beau said...

2 hours to go!

caterpillargirl2 said...

april, I'll try to record Charlotte for you....I have a dvr but no dvr service. I'll need to come up with a business plan for my hb on why we need it and how we can afford it :)

Craig said...

V: You're very welcome.

sofia said...

okay so who is taping this then?

thistle said...

woohoo! the usual suspects are filing in. It feels like June again. teehee

sofia said...

i wish i had a time machine!
jo is future girl, but who is past boy or girl?

April said...

cpg- THANKS!

sofia said...

hey april! how is stumptown?

Craig said...

From Olivier: RS is being interviewed right now. Said this is the only time they would be playing the whole album live. The second hour will be a very long "greatest hits" encore. "I never ever had writers block!"

sofia said...

urgh! its times like these i wish i had been a trust fund baby! *curses the sky*

Craig said...

More from RS: "The new album was recorded as a double, of which 4:13 Dream will be the first part. The second part will be a "dark" album."

Yes!!! The Dark Dream is still alive!

onnihopedream said...

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dark Album For the win!!!!!!!!!

sofia said...

g sez: "i hope they don't call it "4:14 Dark Dream"

onnihopedream said...

Or 4:13 Nightmare :)

Stigmurder said...

A dark album! =D

I was trying to keep away from this place cause I don't wanna hear about the new album before I actually get it... I caved.

My money's on "4:13 Nightmare"... But I hope I'm wrong.

sofia said...

yeah...it's a little "proggy" for my tastes. haha.

Craig said...

Pietro: Robert said the encore would be rather short due to curfew, they had hoped to play longer.

onnihopedream said...

Pietro (9:22pm): Robert said the encore would be rather short due to curfew, they had hoped to play longer.

awww :(

Well the main set is the important part! :)

sofia said...

craig, did Friend of COF mention anything at all about promo shows for this album at all?

Craig said...

Sofia: No. And Robert has already said that they were not planning on playing live again for awhile, so this looks to be it.

April said...

sofia- haha...I don't drink coffee so I can't tell ya

sofia said...

:c ah...i was hoping they might've changed their mind. for the sake of COF Dream Come True Tour 2009 :)

Craig said...

Damn, now I know 2 people who have the new album.

April said...

god, its time like these when we need a teleportation device.

onnihopedream said...

I'd bet there's going to be a tour after 4:13 Nightmare.

Craig said...

Sofia: 09 is still up in the air. But 08 looks very doubtful.

sofia said...

april, pretty cold there right now? i hear montana/idaho got like 20 inches of snow or something crazy like that!

April said...

sofia- yeah, there's some storm brewing. Its pretty cold here now

caterpillargirl2 said...

OMG! Dark dark dark!

Saweet, baby!

April said...

dream - there better be a tour or there are going to be a lot of disappointed people

caterpillargirl2 said...

That's it....the Greenville Fall Festival will have to do without my family. My butt's staying right here.

*orders a pizza8

Craig said...

Morris: Sorry, just saw your note. Hope you enjoy the game! Especially the sight of Charles Scott running all over The Swamp, and scoring 4 touchdowns. : )

Should be a great game, either way.

Geaux Tigers!

onnihopedream said...

I remember some quote from Robert somewhere i think in responce to the 4:13 Dream music videos. Something like what the cure is all about what they do live on their tours. I doubt they'll not tour after 4:13 nightmare (man everytime i type that, i like the title more and more)

April said...

I am leaving work early just so I can join the chat...how lame is that?

caterpillargirl2 said...

he said it on the Videography

sofia said...

how about "4:13 welcome to the terrordome" no?

"4:13 sleep apena"

sofia said...

april, its NOT lame! it's RIGHT AND GOOD.

onnihopedream said...

Screw work! Nothing is more important than Cure chat!!!

(oh yeah it was on videography)

drowning said...

69la

April said...

...yeah, i need my full attention on this show. I can't do that while working so I must go home! lol

sofia said...

"4:13 the construction work in nyc never stops even at 4:13 am and i'm slowly going mad"

drowning said...

i am so sad, not beeing in roma tonight.
but i am happy, maybe to hear the new songs very soon.....

April said...

i'm downright jealous of the peeps in rome.

sofia said...

arrghhhh...be back at 5! xo

drowning said...

name of the dark album:

4:14 ever unreleased

onnihopedream said...

Aaaahhhh, just finished In Orange, still need to blow another hour. What to do, what to do...

I guess we can make jokes about the next album's name for an hour.

Someone call Swifty! We need some jokes!!!

April said...

Should we start taking bets on how long this string will be tonight? lol

DJ scribbles said...

*waves to everyone*

gawd, ive missed the live updates. three hour wait? aww man.

onnihopedream said...

Pffft, three hours for us. You're late, you only have to wait an hour ;p

I bet... 300 posts

April said...

April said...

I betting that we'll hit over 800....

Craig said...

DJ: Only an hour to wait now.

onnihopedream said...

drowning said...

thistle said...

****desperately praying to techno-genius cure fans that this show is on YouTube before Rome wakes up for Sunday mass

Craig said...

fmjews: Did you record the interview with Robert?

onnihopedream said...

Argh, wish I could watch the show live!!!

fmjews, you are going to be my new hero! :)

thistle said...

fmjews said...

Sorry Craig but i'm entered at home right now... I've lost the interview :(

April said...

thistle - hell yeah. I'm sure it will be up before the last fan gets home.

onnihopedream said...

Lol nearly 100 comments already before anything even happend!

And i found out how im going to burn my last hour, im trying to de-code the lyrics to baby rag. I'll give up after 3 listens ;p

fmjews said...

John Legend (that plays before THE CURE) said the this is his last song...
Maybe the SHOW begins before 11PM

onnihopedream said...

Extra half hour? Maybe the super encore is still on! :D

sofia said...

john legend? this is an odd show/festival

drowning said...

maybe they start with drowning man ?

fmjews said...

John Legend out of stage... but there is an italian rapper before OURS...

onnihopedream said...

Then lead into a 25 minute Faith! HA!

onnihopedream said...

what? the italian rapper is back? how many of them you got there?? DESTROY HIM! WE NEED OUR CURE!

drowning said...

going straightly into pornography which will be followed by watching me fall

onnihopedream said...

Hmm... Cold without keyboards... very curious

fmjews said...

I'll try to destroy him, if he should appear on screen!!!
Now there is an interview with John Legend...

Alberto said...

Does anyone, knows if there´s any link to hear it throw internet or somthing like that????
pleas im a bit desperate

drowning said...

39 minutes to go.

yeah, cold without keyboards.
the realgreatest hits !

onnihopedream said...

No links I know of, if there was one Craig would have given it to us

But i don't think it'll be too long before we get the vids. :)

Rev. Heron, Office of Spirit said...

Checking IN!!!!
I'm so excited, can't wait for the show to start!

*waves to CoF peeps*

caterpillargirl2 said...

Alberto, sadly I think most of us here are a bit desperate :)

*Waves to Rev*

thistle said...

*peeps waving back* Hi Rev!

April said...

hi rrrrrrrrev!

onnihopedream said...

Hmm, now im trying to picture cold w/o keyboards in my head.

It's kind of like hearing Plainsong the first time with the new lineup when Roger left. I can actually hear it, sounds cool haha.

April said...

30 minutes to go and I am still stuck at work! (ughhhhh)

fmjews said...

Interview is over
Now Marrakesh (italian rapper)....

Robert but not THE Robert said...

Been scouring the net for a stream of MTV Italia!

I have to see this all posted up on YouTube ASAP! Who is doing this for us!

Can't wait to get the reviews...

Dark Album title: 10:15 Sunday Morning?????!!!

drowning said...

hearing/seeing plainsong without keyboards the first time in 2005 on arte was horrible !!!!!!!!!!!

but the new songs "without" keyboard will be very interesting

onnihopedream said...

think fmjews is doing the vids for us (so praise and hail him)

sofia said...

for some reason 'treasure' is in my head right now.

oh hormones...i feel like crying. all nostalgic...

DJ scribbles said...

drowning - you mean la route du rock that aired on arte on 2005? i loved it!

Robert but not THE Robert said...

So long as Craig gives us the link to the vids as soon as he knows where to find them...
...It will be the most hit YouTube ever!!

onnihopedream said...

I was scared for Plainsong w/o keyboards, but I really love how it turned out. Still has all the epic feel to it, still magical.

JLH is stuck in my head for some reason right now ;p

Robert but not THE Robert said...

fmjews...

...get the show posted and you will be given god like status.

The new order of things

Robert
Porl
Simon
Jason
fmjews!!
Roger

drowning said...

Please help me!

PS Rev - loved what you did with the word thingy!

Alberto said...

THANK YOU!!! CICCO

Marc said...

Nice pic Ciccio!

fmjews said...

The italian rapper likes the "first" Cure "if you like music, you can like the cure"

Craig said...

Thanks Cicio! Put it up on the front page.

drowning said...

10 minutes left.

still hoping they start with drowning man, or other voices ?

Marc said...

No way! UTS to start!

Rev. Heron, Office of Spirit said...

Thanks Robert not the Robert!

:D

onnihopedream said...

Hmm... now if they put Holy Hour in the encore... ;)

sofia said...

im still hoping for those b-sides!@

DJ scribbles said...

Paul K said...

Hello groovy peoples. This is Paul K... you might remember me from when I did all the live reports from California

Paul K said...

Hi DJ

happy to be here today on COF with you all, it's beautiful and ours alone tonight, underneath the sun and the stars

onnihopedream said...

drowning said...

Robert but not THE Robert said...

Faith encore????????????????????

More likely

Lovecats
CTM
WCIBY
BDC

A Forest if we're lucky!

PS: No worries Rev H

Craig said...

Do people not listen to what Robert says? Greatest Hits encore, and probably short, due to the curfew.

onnihopedream said...

Encore... betting

Just Like Heaven
Friay I'm In Love
Lovesong
WCIBY
Boys Don't Cry

and A Forest, or something equally cool like holy hour or a bside if we're lucky

Craig said...

Hey Paul! How's everything?

caterpillargirl2 said...

there's dj!!

I was wondering where the heck you were today, girly :)

Cat won't be around :(

She's camping, in a forest, underneath the stars......

Craig said...

Cure are on stage now!

PJW said...

Drowning, Fist of Zen is preferable to what MTV UK are treating us to right now: Oasis week.

Paul K said...

Hi Craig. Everything is great. I almost flew to Rome, but it didn't work out, lol

OnniHopeDream said...

CURE ON STAGE??!?!?!? OMFG!!!!!

Only about 10 mins until our ears_ er, other people's ears are blessed with new music

(What i'd do for a teleporter)

DJ scribbles said...

*runnin hug cg*

LOL PJ!

Craig said...

Here come the waves...Underneath The Stars

sofia said...

onnihopedream said...

I think I'm actually in tears right now. I'd give anything to hear this!!! This is the most excited I've ever been!

The WaaaaaaAAAAAAAAVES!!!!!!! break...

Paul K said...

I can't take this!!!!
When and HOW will we hear the new songs..... somebody clue me in as to how I will GET THEM

drowning said...

PJW said...

I've never been to a virtual gig before. It's fun!

Can't wait for the Hungry Ghost.

J said...

I can't wait to start seeing this! The waiting is too much!
/tries to teleport Onni :(

Marc said...

Sofia: Torrent?

Paul K said...

pauljk4@aol.com

lol

onnihopedream said...

Those watching/reporting the show... Details! Lots of details!!!

sofia said...

i dont have anything to give anyone.
i'm just saying...

Craig said...

Wonder if they'll play the album in order? If so, Only One will be next.

Marc said...

"I'm not saying I'm just saying" :)

Craig said...

No talk of leaks or where to find them. Please!

onnihopedream said...

Think they'll play it in order. Makes sense, would be kinda weird playing it in a random order

sofia said...

sorry, craig!

Craig said...

The Only One now.

thistle said...

arrrrrgg! I have to leave. I'll be here with you guys in spirit. let's see - I should be banging my head to BRDB/IO in about 50 minutes, correct? : ) see ya later tonite (and hopefully fmjew's videos!)

Paul K said...

I'm trying to work today, I refinish cabinets and this event is incredibly distracting........

Robert but not THE Robert said...

TOO got slated sooo many times in the lives reviews on COF but I loved it when I saw it in Antwerp and the Mix:13 version...

...if only I could have been in Rome...

sofia said...

i've got to go too.
g and i have a rough game of pool to get to.
xoxo

Craig said...

Pietro: UTS is...Wow!! Only One is as usual, Porl's guitar is unusually low.

Marc said...

I like The Only One as well. It has a melancholy undertone that I really dig.

Craig said...

The Reasons Why

onnihopedream said...

Hope they turn up Porl's guitar by Real snow white! Sounds like it's gonna be the real elad on most of the songs

PJW said...

New song alert!!!!

Rev. Heron, Office of Spirit said...

Rev. Heron, Office of Spirit said...

Nice Caterina! You are so lucky!!

Craig said...
