v said...

*Knocks the TARDIS off the cliff and into the sea*

AndrewV127 said...

He said "journey through time". A stop off at the future wouldn't go a miss ;)

Can't wait to read all of the reports later tonight!

andythecurefan said...

FF are ayce

Craig said...

And Sophie Aldred is Ace.

andythecurefan said...

*waves to Craig*

andythecurefan said...

no way! i knew it! 02:09 Dream.

Craig! that means there's gonna be a show in April 2013!

andythecurefan said...

someone tell Oliver to let me know if they play "No You Girls", please?

:D

no you girls never know, no you girls never know, no you girls never know, how you make the boy feel.

:)

andythecurefan said...

son of a bitch! what the hell? i paid 10 pounds for my calendar and no siggie? i feel ripped off. :(

AndrewV127 said...

Let's hope this isn't their last stop at the 02 in 09.

Also don't forget. 9pm on NME TV tonight there is a Cure 1 hour special.

AndrewV127 said...

Yeah but Andy come on, two months of that calander are useless now, signed or not.

andythecurefan said...

i would have any useless material as long as it is Cure signed. :D

andythecurefan said...

8:51:17 PM , can't wait for 9:30 PM

Craig said...

Andy: I'm asking Olivier about No You Girls right now. : )

Craig said...

Andy: Olivier - "I might have missed it (I don't know much about FF, actually, although they're quite good tonight), sorry Andy!"

andythecurefan said...

it's fine, yeah they are good.

i got to see them at Amoeba Records for free last month. excellent.

andythecurefan said...

someone should take a picture of that new shirt. or buy me one. whichever is fine.

AndrewV127 said...

I got really pissed off this morning. I was watching a music show called Freshly Squeezed at 7am on C4 and they were doing a re-cap of the NME awards by showing classic videos of the winners. I watched the entire show waiting for the God Like genius bit and guess what? The idiot hosts played that awful Lady Soverign close to me cover. Yuk

cure_kitty said...

Oh the reports sound so good so far. I love FF & that's a great song to open their set with!

And damn someone please take a picture of the 20:09 shirt. I'd would love to see it!!!

andy---I feel kind of ripped off by the calendar thing too! For the price we paid, it should have be signed!

andythecurefan said...

cure_kitty - and the packaging was horrible too. :(

cure_kitty said...

I meant to say "should have been signed!"

My spelling is just atrocious!

AndrewV127 said...

I really love my calander. It arrived on Christmas Eve :)

cure_kitty said...

Andy--it sure was! It was on my front porch for 3 days in a plain, beat-up looking package. I thought it was a piece of cardboard junk that blew up on my porch by the wind and I was too lazy to look at it.

Luckily it was ok but the next day it snowed & it would have been a mess.

sarab543 said...

my calendar came in kind of bent and some of the metal rings on the top were bent making it hard to change the month

AndrewV127 said...

Was I the only one who lucked out on the Calander? Mine was in great condition when I got it. Then again it didn't go through air mail.

Craig said...

Olivier took a photo of the shirt and will send it later.

cure_kitty said...

andy---Mine was in good condition despite having it sit outside in the cold for 3 days & being airmailed to Philly which is a hazard to fragile stuff.

andythecurefan said...

thank you Oliver!

you coulda still bought it for me though. ;) kidding.

cure_kitty said...

Yey oliver for the picture! Can't wait to see it! Thanks Craig for the update too!

andythecurefan said...

12 min left!

AndrewV127 said...

It's going to be hard to buy one of those shirts online now that Trinity Street is bust...

Well Trinity Steets loss is eBay's gain :)

cure_kitty said...

Yey it's getting close to cure time!

andythecurefan said...

Andrew - i doubt Trinity Street has anything to do with the merch, just the tix for the event.

andythecurefan said...

5 min!

andythecurefan said...

i mean 3

Craig said...

Andy: Trinity ran the online Cure Store, too.

AndrewV127 said...

I just saw an advert for the NME magazine featuring The Cure covers CD. The ad is Narrated by Robert XD

Stigmurder said...

Aargh!

*rushes to put kettle on before showtime*

Predicting UTS as opener. Probably be wrong now I've said that though =/

andythecurefan said...

Craig: no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(

and what the bloody hell? Nirvana for Cure fans?

andythecurefan said...

i'm hoping for Open, or maybe a Dark Album track.

:D

cure_kitty said...

I'm dying in suspense at what's 1st!!!

andythecurefan said...

so who is the "gang" on the rail?

Craig said...

UTS!

v said...

Odd for a trip through time opener, isn't it?

cure_kitty said...

Love it!!! :)

sarab543 said...

i bet uts opens....unless since its a time travel thing and they start from the beg. maybe Three imaginary boys...that would be a surprise!

a funny opener would be the weedy burton haha never happening

sarab543 said...

ahhh uts! <3

Craig said...

V: The TARDIS is going backwards through time...maybe? : )

cure_kitty said...

I'm still wishing they would do an all B sides show. That would be so cool!

cure_kitty said...

lol craig!

v said...

Craig: Ah, perhaps you are right.

Craig said...

So glad that Jo gets to hear UTS live.

AndrewV127 said...

So then It's Over to end?

sarab543 said...

cure kitty that would rock! maybe i would finally get to hear "Hey You!!!!" live!

Craig said...

Deep Green Sea. Guess the TARDIS is acting up tonight, going where it wants to, not where Dr. Smith wants it to. : )

sarab543 said...

i say they end with "so what"! :P LOL

v said...

*Listens to FTEOTDGS live in Hamburg 11/9/02*

Now I feel like Jo! Hah!

Craig said...

But what a great pairing of songs!

cure_kitty said...

Agreed sara! That's why I would love an all B side show.

Fear of Ghosts please!

cure_kitty said...

It's a Lost type of time travel! All over the place! Maybe the island making the song choices!

Stigmurder said...

Wow FTEOTDGS really DOES surprise me.

My jealousy is growing and growing right now XD

AndrewV127 said...

I say this every damn time we have a live show but PLAY BURN! Just once.

Craig said...

I hope Ben doesn't try to kill Robert! : )

cure_kitty said...

I'd like to hear Burn too!!!

andythecurefan said...

sounds like a good start already.

any cure tapers out there recording?

sarab543 said...

LOL CURE KITTY!!!! I wonder what theyll play next? fascination street? Lullaby? Disintegration? it could be anything!

cure_kitty said...

Oh god good no! Ben's so damn eveil, he would do it! That was one crazy show last night!!!

andythecurefan said...

i would love to see/hear The Blood on this set.

v said...

Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away from home again...

cure_kitty said...

Anything but Lovesong! I'm so over that song! Sorry LS lovers!

Craig said...

The Perfect Boy

cure_kitty said...

The Blood Rocks Live!

cure_kitty said...

The Perfect Boy!

Oh I was right, it's the Island controlling the set-list tonight!

Craig said...

Robert (before The Perfect Boy): "We're going to play a few songs that we didn't play last year. Quite a few."

v said...

Someone needs to tell RS how to drive the TARDIS. Is there a Doctor (preferably Tom Baker) in the house?

v said...

Nice.

AndrewV127 said...

Oh man that sounds too good to be true.

Any guesses on what they are going to play?

Craig said...

V: You know there's no one who can really "drive" the TARDIS! Not even your Perfect Boy Tom Baker. : P

AndrewV127 said...

I think Cut Here deserves a comeback.

andythecurefan said...

probably new stuff like Hungry Ghost, Reasons Why, or Real Snow White.

all with their respective "The".

those they didn't play last year (4Tour)

Rosepetals said...

Do you think they will play anything from the dark album?

Craig said...

End of the world

Stigmurder said...

I'm gonna predict Pictures Of You next.

Stab in the dark n all =/

andythecurefan said...

oh yes! Cut Here! (excited if they do play it)

AndrewV127 said...

I hope they play some of the Dark Album but if they do anything I would put my money on A Boy I Never Knew.

v said...

Hmm, apparently RS doesn't remember which songs he played last year! ;)

Rosepetals said...

Cut here would be great!

Rosepetals said...

RS is 49. I'm 46 and don't remember what I ate this morning.

Craig said...

Quick, someone check to see if Robert's nose is bleeding! CK will get that one. : )

Rosepetals said...

Andrew are you from the U.K?

Craig said...

Sleep When I'm Dead

AndrewV127 said...

Yeah I'm from the UK and yes I should be there...

Rosepetals said...

Sorry but I hate that song!

v said...

RS is such a tease!

Rosepetals said...

I'm not and I should be too! Come on over to Vegas!

Craig said...

V: I'm pretty sure he means songs they didn't play at the London show last year. Remember, they didn't get many of the many of the 4:13 songs that the US did.

AndrewV127 said...

Rose If I could afford it I'll be right there with you guys in the Pit.

Craig said...

Many of the many? : P

v said...

Craig: I am just being silly. Sorry.

Rosepetals said...

I can't afford it! I am trying to hatch a scheme to go!! Why couldn't we be rich instead of so good looking!!

Craig said...

V: Never apologize for being silly. ; )

Craig said...

A Forest

Odd and wonderful setlist tonight. : )

MissCure said...

Awwwww. I am sitting on the edge of my seat!

Rosepetals said...

Does anyone know if Robert is wearing his furry balls on his hoodie?

sarab543 said...

woah a forest? weird that they play it so soon...

AndrewV127 said...

One of the more interesting setlists in recent memory.

Rosepetals if you do end up sacrificing your good looks for gold don’t forget to buy me a ticket.

cure_kitty said...

Craig said...

Quick, someone check to see if Robert's nose is bleeding! CK will get that one. : )


craig---Oh I hope not, he could be dead soon!!! LOL!! That's a good one! I

Rosepetals said...

Sara aren't you the one that was drinking Robert's beer?

sarab543 said...

lol rosepetals you should really rephrase that! hahaha its a good thing cat isnt here to see that! ;P

Craig said...

I love it when they mix things up and get unpredictable. : )

sarab543 said...

yes rosepetals that was me! :D

Rosepetals said...

Andrew, sounds like a plan.

cure_kitty said...

Odd but still good! I'd rather be there than stuck at work! Actually I should be leaving soon since it's after five but I can get stop looking at the comments!

Craig said...

Yes, thank heaven (or somewhere) for small miracles.

andythecurefan said...

wow this chat is moving so fast, as is their setlist.

MissCure said...

Awwwww A Forest, I am loving this so far!

Rosepetals said...

Dang you literally swapped spit with the Godlike genius! You must be really smart too!!

cure_kitty said...

Just like the 4tour days andy! They keep whizzing by! I love it!

Craig said...

3 Imaginary Boys! Awesome!

andythecurefan said...

TIB?!?! Whoa!

MissCure said...

I wonder what is next! They must be having the time of thier life.

cure_kitty said...

TIB!!! That's a good choice!

AndrewV127 said...

I'm scared. This setlist is so strangely orgasmic.

sarab543 said...

lol rosepetals! after i drank some i passed it to clockwise cat, christinap and andythecurefan so they could have some RSX DNA as well :)

then when i got it back i decided to finish it off until the security guard asked for my ID :P christinap still has the beer bottle to this day

Stigmurder said...

Awww I LOVE Three Imaginary Boys <3

AndrewV127 said...

Wait until they screw it up with Never Enough and Wrong Number.

Rosepetals said...

Andrew I hardly know you! Shouldn't you be doing that in the bathroom?

cure_kitty said...

Hopefully it's in a safe place!

MissCure said...

Awww! TIB I am in heaven right now! Or hell since I really wish I could be right there!

sarab543 said...

TIB! OMG I totally guessed that as an opener! LOL

Craig said...

Andrew has just cursed the setlist!

Craig said...

Shake Dog Shake!!!!

Rosepetals said...

Sara that good that you are friends because there's this thing called GERMS!! *fainting*

cure_kitty said...

What will be next! I can't stay for much longer, my boss wants to lock the office up! Everyone left early today!

andythecurefan said...

No! not Wrong Number!

cure_kitty said...

Shake Dog Shake!!! It get better & better!

Rosepetals said...

I wonder if Hooligal made her way close to the stage?

v said...

Stale and selfish as a sick dog, spurning sex like an animal of god.

(I've always loved that alliteration.)

sarab543 said...

lol rosepetals! hahaha

OMG @ SHAKE DOG SHAKE! WOAH

andythecurefan said...

i can taste a mango in the back of my mouth.

oops,

i mean, the after taste of anger in the back of my mouth.

MissCure said...

AWWWWWW!!!!!!! This is an awesome setlist! ARGHHHHHHH that I am not right there!

Rosepetals said...

Why did Robert's bodyguard shave his head? It makes him look even more constipated!

thistle said...

Wow, getting whiplash from the era-jumping. Awesome. (loving the Lost references by the way! LOL)

sarab543 said...

aw damn i gotta go by work then i have school :( *sigh*

cure_kitty said...

It's really tripping through time that set-list!

Rosepetals said...

When they played Killing an Arab last. Did they change it to Killing another?

Craig said...

V: Don't give out my secrets like that! : P

Rosepetals said...

Lol... Sara try not to get detention today for drinking beer from strange men!

MissCure said...

Yeah they now do Killing Another no more Killing an Arab

sarab543 said...

rosepetals-they did at troubador

i got the setlist :P and it even says killing another. also i have the audio and im pretty sure he says another

Stigmurder said...

"When they played Killing an Arab last. Did they change it to Killing another?"

They did in London last year, yes.

Rosepetals said...

Wondering if they just did that over here.

cure_kitty said...

Ok I've really got to go now! I need to get home to start supper & feed my cat and my boss is locking up!

It's been fun! I'll be back later to catch up on all the cool news!

sarab543 said...

lol rosepetals i would hope that college wouldnt give out detention! :P

Craig said...

Maybe Someday! Bloodflowers era is not forgotten!

andythecurefan said...

i know on the setlist it said ANOTHER, but i think at Troubadour he said an ARAB

Rosepetals said...

Thanks! You Cof people are so attentive and not loony like us..er..the Cure.com people!

MissCure said...

Yes Yes Yes! So far this setlist is perfect!

sarab543 said...

andy i thought it said another....ill slow it down when i get back and see if it easier to tell

thistle said...

A little Bloodflowers. Cat's nipples must be falling off right about now...

andythecurefan said...

yummie! cat's nipples.

Craig said...

And sometimes it's Kissing An Arab. : )

AndrewV127 said...

The guys in the Cure.com forum freak me the hell out. Whats wrong with them?

Rosepetals said...

I thought you were as young as DJ Scribbles. Although I swear she is 40!

MissCure said...

Hey Andy, I thought he was saying Another at The Troub. I can be completely wrong though.

Stigmurder said...

OMG MAYBE SOMEDAY!!!

*dies*

andythecurefan said...

dang. i guess i'm wrong then.

:(

v said...

Tell me somedays come again...

andythecurefan said...

Rosepetals - they're all over 18 for me.

Rosepetals said...

We post from Mental Asylums, prison etc. etc. No worries we hardly escape only once in a while!

Craig said...

The Only One. He just had to ruin the flow. : P

Rosepetals said...

Andy they are more mature than I am for fock's sake!!

Rosepetals said...

I like The Only One live but despise the studio version.

andythecurefan said...

Rosepetals - yeah...mature. that's what i meant.

MissCure said...

Still a good set though! But yes the flow was perfect! Now mmmmmm still great but yeah...

sarab543 said...

lol deej is a 40 yr old trapped in a 16 yr olds body haha

Rosepetals said...

I have shoes that are older than her.

Rosepetals said...

Has Robert mumbled anything??

AndrewV127 said...

Where is DJ? Still stuck behind the sofa in the Loving room?

Craig said...

Inbetween Days

sarab543 said...

yay NBTWEEN DAYS!

Stigmurder said...

The set just became a lot more predictable

Rosepetals said...

I hope he says something witty and clever and someone will be able to translate!!

Craig said...

No reports of mumbling.

MissCure said...

I Love Inbetween Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rosepetals said...

I bet Lovecats is next.

Craig said...

And once again, Heron has disappeared. Olivier is providing the setlist.

AndrewV127 said...

I think Just Like Heaven.

andythecurefan said...

Sara - as long as she's got that sixteen yr old body...

kidding. LOL. save her for Ben.

Craig said...

Stig: They've got to get the pop in somewhere. : )
