Interview & live clips from the Dream Tour
Interview with Robert, and performances of 'Fascination Street' & 'Want', from the Dream Tour stop at Livid Festival in Brisbane on Oct. 21st, 2000.
"It's become pretty common knowledge, really, that this is the last big tour we'll ever do."
Hahahahahahaha! Yeah, we had heard that one a few times before, Robert. :)

"The Cure's Jason Cooper talks about his 20 years with one of alternative rock's most influential bands."You can pick up a copy in UK stores or order worldwide here. (Thanks Aaron)
In the interview, Jason says his favorite Cure songs to play live are 'Faith' and 'Same Deep Water As You'. I knew there was a reason I liked him. :) Now if Robert would just let him play them more often. Can't post the whole thing, but here are a few excerpts:
'Friday I'm in Love' shirt from Gianni Bini
That's here in the New Orleans area, but if you like the shirt, might be worth a check of your local Dillard's. Also online.

Isaac Brock says The Cure have lost something
Isaac Brock from Modest Mouse talking to WSJ Speakeasy:
You guys have been a major label band for longer than you were an indie band at this point.
Look, I’m a huge Cure fan. I love the Cure. The scales being tipped to when they weren’t on a major label compared to when they were seems pretty meaningless. I had the good fortune of having them go before me and seeing their careers, musically at least, lose something. Like a novel written by a dead hand. There’s nothing quite there but it’s sort of still there. Which is why I’m willing to wait eight years before I put out a record. I just won’t do that to people who like my band. I like Modest Mouse. I’m our biggest fan. And enemy. I won’t waste people’s time by putting out a Modest Mouse record just because. That’s fair, right? Did you get to hear the new record?
(Thanks Sofia)

'Play Out' on Vimeo
As far as I know, you can't buy the 'Play Out' video anywhere, and I haven't heard anything about it being released again, so I guess it's okay to post this. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll remove it. (Thanks Ema and Sonic More Music)
Well that didn't last long. Here's hoping it's a sign that this will be getting released on DVD/Blu soon.
Jason on the new Marina & the Diamonds album
From The Line of Best Fit:
"Jason Cooper who drums in The Cure, he did all the percussion on the record. It's definitely got their influence in there."
The album, 'Froot', won't be released until April 6th, 2015, but the first video from it was released today. (Thanks @Ligia_Berg)
