CoF on Bluesky and Twitter

Just a reminder that I'm on Bluesky and Twitter (@craigatcof on both) and post a lot more there. Reviews, photos & videos from the shows, etc 

I still post the important/interesting things here, but not everything and not as quickly.

Robert and The Stones

The Rolling Stones released episode 1 of their new podcast, and there are two brief segments with Robert. Listen here or on YouTube.

Robert Smith -"I went up there just expecting to get drunk really, I wasn't expecting to play on the Rolling Stones album."

The Stones also released Divine Intervention today. Robert plays some guitar on it.
