Craig - thanks heaps for these blasts from the past. I can't wait to get home so I can have a listen.

dj scribbles said...

*trying to breathe*

SO AWESOME!!

*waves to elisey*

Mad Bob RJS said...

Thank you so much for this brilliant idea, dig in the trunk of old COF audio memories.

It´s very nice re-living all this audios.

Maybe i´m wrong, but i remember that in the old Audio COF page the most of the audios were unavailable, so this is great.

Hope, maybe, you´ll be able to give us more surprises...

Thanks Craig.

:)

Mad Bob RJS said...

By the way...enjoy your game

;)

andythecurefan said...

love how Drop.io could be integrated with iTunes. Example: http://i42.tinypic.com/jq2d94.png

notherbob said...

Completely off topic, sorry - but was there any truth to the rumour from Saturday the 6th's post of the group breaking it off with Geffen/Interscope labels? Craig? Any light on the subject?

Craig said...

Nothing confirmed. Only rumors and speculation.

thekissxx said...

lol Can't understand a word he's saying

notherbob said...

Okay, ta for that. thekissxx - was that comment directed at me?

HappyEverAfterGirl said...

deadboycraved said...

deadboycraved said...

ahhh i m a fuckin nob lol sorry ,, i see the wee button now :) lol cheers yay

Z said...

Thanks! I have never heard these!
I'm recording all of them!

b-flower17 said...

Does anyone knoe a free converter to convert ram files to mp3?
I know I can by it for 19.50$, but it would be a little too expensive, 'cause I need to covert only two tracks!

It's awesome idea to post some gems from your archive collection, Craig! Just wonderful!

Aaron said...

DBpoweramp converter is good, not sure i think you can get a free trial. =]

lovecat44 said...

Thank you very much for these Craig.. I've been looking for some of them all around and no sign until today...

Kate said...

Wow, thanks for sharing! Is there a special occasion, Craig? :)

birdmad2000 said...

i hve the loveline 1992 interview on mp3...don;t have a place to host them if anyone wants to volunteer i can send to them...if someone has already posted it somewhere here than sorry for the redundancy...

sofia said...

craig, i love you.
(not in the biblical sense. you know what i mean.)
thank you!!!

thecure92 said...

Thank You very much for the acoustic Europe 2 Radio program, especially Cut Here...the best Cure song ever written!

Craig said...

No problem, guys. It's about time I put some of this stuff up again. There's more to come.

Kate: Yes, yesterday was CoF's 13th birthday. But V was the only one who remembered. : P

Z: Why are you recording them? They are available for download.

v said...

Craig: CoF is a teenager now - look out! :P

disintegration89 said...

Happy Birthday COF

Kate said...

Hi, Craig! Sorry I missed CoF's birthday - we have been on vacation celebrating our birthdays! :P

Cheers to Cof!

disintegration89 said...

Happy Birthday COF,
Nice job on keeping us all up on The Cure!

Cheers!

Jerry - Imaginary Cure!~

Rev. Heron, Office of Spirit said...

Happy Birthday to my favorite site, evar and congratulations to you on 13 years of keeping us Cure fans connected.

Craig said...

Happy birthday, Kate & Joel!

v said...

Happy Birthday, Kate. :)

Craig said...

V: What about poor Joel? : )

v said...

Craig: Oh, fine! :)

Kate: Happy Birthday to Joel, too! :) Sorry.

Craig: Better? :)

Craig said...

V: Yes! : )

Actually, I hope I'm reading Kate's message the right way. I think she's saying it was both of their birthdays. If not, then just consider it an early/late birthday greeting, Joel. : )

sofia said...

happy birthday...everyone!

no one remembered my *deep breath* 31st birthday. but that's alright. 31 is a no good prospect anyhow.

but especially happy birthday to COF! to another 13 years and beyond!

Dumb Anguish said...

Happy Birthday COF.

(introspective sigh) I remember when it was just a wee toddler...How fast they grow.

Thanks for everything you do for us!

comicsnstories said...

Thanks so much, especially for the WOXY clip. Still the FUTURE OF ROCK AND ROLL, and still the best radio station on the planet.

ml68 said...

13 years...fuck..that's scary...well done mate...also scary that I've been following from day one...those early days of CoF and the pink cure bathroom wall and pseudo lipstick scrawls......so long ago already...eeekkk...we ain't getting any younger ....

Marc

ashtraygirl said...

Craig said...

Happy Birthday, Sofia!

sofia said...

;) tsk. awws. thanks, you guys.

ml68, man you brought back memorieeees!
i just found my cure.com house t-shirt the other day, too! who else has one of those? it was the most boring promo shirt but i just had to have it.
i also still have pages printed out of robert's prawns recipe and his mum's summer dressing.

sofia said...

i don't know how the internet wayback machine works, but can you still access the old site pages or is it gone forever?(!)

pixiescure said...

Thank you for sharing! What a wonderful gift as always that you give to us Craig!! Thank you again!

Anah said...

<333 I've been with you for Nine of them, Happy Anniversary!!!

altr2elise said...

Happy Birthday, COF, Sofia, Kate and Joel.

I cannot imagine my life without all of you in it.... and it is not just cos with you all in it, I seem just little bit 'more' normal to all my 'real life' friends.

Hugs for everyone!

TheFigurehead said...

Happy belated birthday COF! I think I'll do a new Cure cover tomorrow to commemorate/because-I-need-to haha! I'm thinking I'll do The Blood! This could be interesting, especially with Porl's solo on that one ;)

Mad Bob RJS said...

Hi Cure friends...

Wishing a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO COF

And to Sofia, Kate and Joel as well.

I´m happy for being, - at least i wanna think i´m part of - member of COF Community.

Since late 1997 when i discovered COF, it has been my #1 CURE site.

As a matter of fact, COF is the first page i check every time i´m online....because it´s my home page.

For me, it has been as a CURE fan, a big achivement to contribute (very poorly indeed )sometimes with Craig´s work.

And i can´t forget what i felt when i saw for very first time, my name in the COF´s front page.

Priceless moment.

It´s more than amazing to be among other fans that feels the same that you.


And maybe most of you know it, but i don´t, but Craig, i would like to know how came to you the idea of making a CURE info web.

What inspired you ?


For sure, it´s tale to be told...


Returning to the main subject, i wish the best to COF, Craig and to the fans (us).

Long live ¡¡¡



Only left to say:


Craig, thank you so much for all that you´ve done for CURE fans.

You´re the best ¡¡¡


¡¡¡ WE´RE HERE IN THE BEST CURE INFO PAGE OF THE BEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME !!!


:)

Eisonhawk said...

DOOD! is it someone's freaking birthday or something... wait for it... Oh Snap! It's MY birthday today!
SO AWESOME, thank you Craig to the 100th power infinity times a million!
Joe of Hannah

Craig said...

Sofia: Yes, many of the old Cure pages are still accessible through the Wayback Machine. Just type in Thecure.com, and you'll find pages from the various sites.

Happy Birthday, Joe of Hannah!

altr2elise said...

Happy Birthday, Joe of Hannah.

Pietro said...

And for the help with The Blood video too - thanks Andy!

Kate said...

Thank you, Craig, V, Sofia, Elise and Mad Bob!

(Yes, we both have June birthdays - Craig is so clever! :)

And Happy Birthday to Sofia and Eisonhawk.

lovecat44 said...

@ Z:

lovecat44 said...

perfect.murder said...

And thanks Craig for those archives gems...always nice to go back in time and see what direction the band took after the "it's the last album/gig we're ever going to do" threat by RS..

Brandon said...

I know you now, you are the Emily, I saw you playing guitar on youtube, I loved Push!

And my birthday is just 1 day before you Emily, on 21st June ;-)

I have my own theory on that, lots of June birthdays here because Cure fans are very sensitive people, and what Zodiac signs are told to be most sensitive? Gemini and Cancers ;-)

It's true! Known from experience!

Happy birthdays everyone

lovecat44 said...

No need to say, I loved your work E. ;-)

lovecat44 said...

lovecat44 said...

@ DJ scribbles:

Haha ,thanks, I used to think that that Forever was a birthday gift from Cure ;-) although that day I was faaar faaar away from the place where they played and I think it was already 22nd June here in Europe ;-)

Very sweet picture DJ!
