ReplyDeleteyeah that 'robert smith song' on the blink182 album (and elise song blink covered) was the reason i checked out the cure's music in the first place like four years ago and now i love the cure and hate blink182 haha
ReplyDeleteRyan, thats awesome!
ReplyDeleteThere's a bit about that "free music" controversy which mentions Robert here http://www.twentyfourbit.com/post/134284219/paul-van-dyk-slams-radiohead-piracy
ReplyDeleteThe guy on that blog who talked about Robert's dedication of "Faith" to the Tiananmen Square students corrected his post. I had emailed him a few weeks ago about it and he posted the link I sent him from the Impression of Sounds site with the correct Faith lyrics.

I sent an email to Craig about it a few weeks ago when the guy first corrected himself, but is Craig's email not working with the Compuserve problems? I figured he probably would have posted it if he got it since it does have to do with the Cure. Unless I have the wrong address?

Emily: I got it. I updated the original post with it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI was flicking thru this doco on oz tv a coupla nites ago about "M Jackson - what really happened"...anyway, regardless of the topic matter and opinions on the so called doco, they are interviewing this woman who obviously has lots to say, when, in the background, I hear familiar drums.....and its....."all cats are grey"...about half way thru, talking about all this guff we've heard a million times...but "all cats are grey"???????....WTF??????????????????????????????
ReplyDeleteAustin 360 reviews Manikin:Stop the Sirens and mentions a cover of Grinding Halt. I couldn't decide if this was a Cure-spotting or a cover (or both) so I put it here.

Really brief (and unflattering) mention of the Cure from Edinburgh's Evening News article "The Sounds of the Eighties that still resonate"

The quote: "I remember big trousers were in as well. I went to see The Cure in about 1981 and Robert Smith had trousers on with a waistband that came up to his nipples."
