  9. Is Paramore a "Christian" group or start out that way? Just curious. They are awful.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'm tired too but all I have to do is go to work tomorrow. I just hope it's a slow day so I can nod off back in my lonely corner! I'm determined to see The Cure!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  14. cure_kitty - Thats the way. Fight on like me :). All I have to do is go down my uni library :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. HEY! This is that UPS band!!!

    ; )

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  17. This band is nice. I don't mind them terribly.

    ReplyDelete
  18. is death cab for cutie any good? i've never heard anything from them but judging by their name they might as well be as good as 30secs to mars or those emo grooups

    ReplyDelete
  19. Beau---I'm fighting, I'm fighting! Maybe I'll go to work a little late & say I had car trouble. I'd take a sick day but I have no more left!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Death Cab is not bad. I like some of their stuff but I wouldn't call my- self a fan. But so far they sound good.

    ReplyDelete
  21. me too craig, me too.

    30secsandotheremobands <<<<<<<< death cab

    ReplyDelete
  22. ...it took me a while to get used to Cutie though.

    ReplyDelete
  23. im listening, more like and indie rock group, than an emo group, i like 'indie' groups

    ReplyDelete
  24. Cure_Kitty - haha yes. Car trouble :). The perfect excuse for watching the cure live. Just hope we don't have it next time theres a cure show on we're both going to :(.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  33. Well Beau I'll have car trouble again tomorrow & Thursday night when the Kimmmel & Daly shows are broadcasted late. Won't be live but I can't miss seeing the shows on the TV.

    ReplyDelete
  34. DJ I need a hot coffee to keep me awake!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. why is it named "almost acoustic"?? i havent see any acoustic other than what DJ just mentioned.

    ReplyDelete
  36. they sound sooo good tonight.

    kitty - got your coffee??

    its getting harder to pull away, it just gets better and better

    ReplyDelete
  37. Haven't heard much of death cabs stuff before. They are pretty good :).

    ReplyDelete
  38. lawl carlos, thats why its called "almost" accoustic.
    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Cure_Kitty - Indeed you will :). God, I hate having 'real' car trouble mind :'(.

    ReplyDelete
  40. i need hot chocolate damn it@!!

    i need a fuckin pause button!

    ReplyDelete
  41. No coffee for me DJ. Actually if I drank the coffee this late at night, I'd get sick & wouldn't be able to watch. Coffee can give me a gallbladder attack if I drink to much of it!

    ReplyDelete
  42. i feel ripped! i was hoping to see the cure play some of the new songs acoustically(?) :(

    ReplyDelete
  43. Beau it's cold out here so I can say my car battery went dead from the cold. But will it work for 3 nights in one week???

    ReplyDelete
  44. Does anyone know why they call it acoustic Christmas. Doesn't seem like anyone if really doing that so far???

    ReplyDelete
  45. I demand an explanation why it's not acoustic!!! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  46. cure_kitty: how close are you to nazareth pa?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Cure_Kitty: You never know :). Urgh, batteries going flat :( mine did that the other day.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Morris not too far away, maybe 50-60 miles north of me.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Morris - NOOOOOOOO. Don't get a beard!!! We like being able to see your face!

    ReplyDelete
  50. KILLERS KILLERS KILLERS

    great end to a great set

    ReplyDelete
  51. Beau my car is six years old and I still have the original battery. It's about time it dies and I think it just might be tomorrow. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  52. YAY COMMERICIAL TIME FINALLY

    I NEED MY HOT CHOCO!!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'll have a hot chocolate if you are getting one DJ.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Well I'm glad I like The Killers. I'll be able to stay up for the cure and not get bored in the process.

    ReplyDelete
  55. *passes whip cream and marshmallows with a cuppa to elise*

    ReplyDelete
  56. don't worry DJ, i can't grow a real mans, manly beard!

    ReplyDelete
  57. *takes cuppa from DJ*

    mmmmmm melting marshmallows are my favourite.

    And to try to make myself that I am actually joining in on the fun, I have flicked my iPod to the Killers.

    ReplyDelete
  58. are we human, or are we denser (than morris' beard) ?

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. i like them as well but im thinking if i should go to sleep for one hour and wake up when the cure start..

    ReplyDelete
  60. Morris, just wondering why did you want to know if I lived near Nazareth, PA???

    ReplyDelete
  61. hi peeps! Just popping in briefly to catch up. there's no way in hell I can stay up again tonite, even tho last night was a blast. I will be checking tomorrow to see any new x-rated emoticons from Anah!

    ReplyDelete
  62. kure_citty: sorry, i knew some dudes lived in Naz, and wondered if you knew them! i thought you were closer : )

    ReplyDelete
  63. *waves at Thistle*

    I'm definitely 'denser'

    ReplyDelete
  64. is anyone recording the webcast?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Oh yeah your are right I wouldn't know anyone from there but I do have a cousin who used to live near there.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Cure Kitty - Very true! Yeah, my car had the the original battery, thats why I went flat. That is odd. It actually went flat when the cure were on tv as well!

    What car do you have? :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. carlos - im not sure, i know andy is recording the cure though.


    thistle! nice to see you dropping by!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Carlos: Yes. Andy is recording The Cure. And others are also recording it.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Carlos I think andy said in an earlier post he set-up his computer to do so but just The Cure part. I wouldn't doubt you'll see this somewhere on-line soon.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Oh I'm almost embarrassed to say but I have a PT cruiser. I'd get a new car but with the state of the money these days, I'll hang on it for a few more years.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I hope someone not necessary a cure peep but anyone tapes the whole show. Well at least Franz!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Cure_Kitty - Oh PT Cruisers arn't bad :). You could have a lot worse :) At least I know what they are, they are quite popular over here in europe, you could have something I wouldn't have a clue about :).

    ReplyDelete
  73. ooh greatthanks!:) i thought i read somewhere here that we hd no one to record it, but glad to hear we do:)

    ReplyDelete
  74. I really like The Killers but really, just put on The Cure! I can't wait anymore!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I loved reading the reports from Andy/Cat/Sara et.al last night. Even if the setlist wasn't the b-side extravaganza we were hoping for, it had to be an amazing, amazing night.

    Any updates on whether Cat found her nipples yet?

    ReplyDelete
  76. CURE! CURE! CURE CURE CURE! CURE! CURE!

    (I don't like this new song by the Killers)

    CURE! CURE CURE!

    PORL! SIMON! JASON! ROBERT!
    UNDERNEATH THE STARS! PLAINSONG! OPEN! THE KISS!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. CK - LOL, I can just see you driving a PT Cruiser.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Beau it's not a bad car but it does get a bad rep in the US. People do make fun of it but it's been quite good & I've had very little trouble with it. Gas mileage could be better but it's not too bad. Do you have a car?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Oh will they evar play Caterpillar?!


    :(

    Tis my song!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Elise--Yeah I'm such a Dork, the car is perfect for me!!! LOL! :p

    ReplyDelete
  81. im still sleepy and tired from last night.

    thistle - nipples stay attached. they became inverted instead :P

    ReplyDelete
  82. im learnng to drive this summer! watch out on the roads! ;-P

    ReplyDelete
  83. Cure_Kitty: Yeah, I have a 1998 red Fiat Punto. *hangs head* Are there many of them in the USA?

    ReplyDelete
  84. So missed a great night last night on chat. I had no idea there was a secret show. Damn that must have been good! I had a wedding to go to & missed it all! But I'm happy to be here tonight with the Cool Cure Peeps!!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Morris: What car do you have? ;).

    ReplyDelete
  86. Have a great time tonight gang! I fully expect the boys to show the rest of the line up how it's REALLY done. woohoo!

    ReplyDelete
  87. as we're watching - im thinking "we're looking at the same exact thing they are!"

    ReplyDelete
  88. Ok...show time is soon. Any takers on guessing the setlist tonight?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  97. My guess of a setlist:

    UTS
    FAS ST
    Prayers
    Only one
    From the Edge
    SWID
    WCIBY?
    JLH,
    FIIL,
    IBD
    Lullaby,
    Freakshow
    Scream
    Its over

    E1: A forest, Play for today, 10:15,BDC

    It would be nice to have some surprises but I think it will be pretty standard tonight. Wishing on a new dark song though LOL

    ReplyDelete
  98. the lights look great for photography....
    the synths sound clean, luuurrrve it

    freaking awesome ending. onto the cure.

    ReplyDelete
  99. my car is a bit over the top, but BMW makes a great car. I don't know what i'll do when it quits... bicycle or something.

    ReplyDelete
  100. LOL... i was just gonna say... a bit like Joy Division eh???? LOL!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  102. So what's better Joy Division or Killers for Shadowplay. I like both!

    ReplyDelete
  103. I'm a Joy Division purist... but i'll cut Killers some slack. After all, it is the giving season

    ReplyDelete
  104. Oh, I hope the cure have really awesome lights tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  105. If Ian Curtis isn't turning in his grave right now .... he should be. Ughh I hate it when bands mangle sacred music ... The Killers should stick to the light weight stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  106. not too bad beau!! at least it aint a pinto!

    HOT DAMN, im loving the lights theyre using!!! *drooool*
    i dare not blink

    ReplyDelete
  107. Beau it's not that bad but not as cool as Morris car! Still as long as it get to where you need to go, it's all you need!

    ReplyDelete
  108. i think we can all read each others minds.

    they all say "cureee time please"

    ReplyDelete
  109. The Killers covering Joy Division's "Shadowplay". not sure if they do the song justice.

    ReplyDelete

    and then we can use the cure as the soundtrack

    ReplyDelete
  122. Morris - Indeed, you should have a Merc ;) or an Audi. I wouldn't assume you're some sort of banker then ;).

    ReplyDelete
  123. DJ - LOL! His 2.8 engine would blow my 1.2 off the road :(.
