Official site update

TheCure.com has had a bit of a graphics & layout update, they've added the upcoming shows to the Events page, and removed that awful forum and the comments from the news items.
(Thanks Aaron)

I wouldn't read anything into the 4th & 11th dates listed for ACL Festival on the Events page. Most likely just listing the start dates, not when they actually play.

Vote for 'The Top' in Best of 1984 poll

Slicing Up Eyeballs' ongoing Best of the 80s project continues with their Best Album of 1984 poll, and 'The Top' is one of the options.

Update: 'The Top' finishes at #6. The Smiths rightfully, in my opinion, take the top spot with their debut album.
