"Wayne Hussey played a solo-acoustic show a few nights ago in Buenos Aires... and included "A night like this" on the setlist.... also played "Ashes to ashes" (Bowie)!!!" (Thanks BETO)
Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls talks about her worship of Morrissey and Robert. (Thanks Shawn)
WiiFit blogger uses Cure lyrics for post titles. (Thanks Andrew)
"I just made a silly little Facebook application - you can now send Robert Smith to your friends!" (Thanks Christie)
I saw Amanda Palmer play a solo show last year and she talked about her Robert love between songs...so afterwards I told her that he'd kissed me once and her eyes almost popped out of her head! Cute.
ReplyDeleteregina - were you at the San Diego show by any chance?
ReplyDeleteYes--far back on the floor but I was there! :)
ReplyDeleteoh wow. If I hadn't already made a lot of noise to all my friends about how much I despise Facebook applications, I would totally rock that ap out. I mean, wait, what? I don't have Facebook... heh heh.
ReplyDeletePS there are multiple Facebook Cure groups out there, do the majority of anyone here participate in any of these? I'm in one called "The Cure" and I started a fucking brilliant discussion thread (which 3 Cure songs do you absolutely hate?), but other than that this place is far superior.
mmm... I think all of the sudden I'll start actually interacting here instead of lurking...
regina - I thought you might have been the chick standing next to my hubby cos she had also kissed/been kissed by Robert but we were second row on the floor so I guess it wasn't you.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd been that close in San Diego to see Robert toss the mic into the audience! It was hard to tell what was going on from where I was.
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of funny cos the guy who caught it didn't realize that Robert expected somebody to sing and he just kind stood there with a blank look on his face before he handed it to somebody behind him and so ensued the rather weak audience rendition of CTM
ReplyDeleteLOL. Poor guy!
ReplyDeleteRobert came right up to us in Atlanta during Let's Go To Bed and at one point he held the mic down by his side and looked right at me and I had a split second of utter terror, remembering San Diego, because I thought he might toss it at me! Luckily, he didn't.
I don't think the sound guys like it when he does it cos they have to retrieve it afterwards - as you can imagine, fans aren't that keen on giving back Robert's mic.
ReplyDeleteyou could use the mic as a dildo, after all.
ReplyDeleteWell, it *was* during Let's Go To Bed...;)
ReplyDeletewell then there ya go!
ReplyDeleteyeah, i would have been mortified to have the mic tossed at me. MORTIFIED.
i think robert refrained from doing that again because of the lackluster fan participation at the shrine. i think it makes some fans too uneasy.
Yeah, it would have scared the hell out of me. I only wanted Robert singing TO me. Not WITH me!
ReplyDeleteCure Karaoke true enough!
ReplyDeleteof course that begs the interesting / revealing question, "during which Cure song would it be most terrifying to have a microphone tossed at you?"
ReplyDeleteI say, "The Caterpillar" because I would end up saying a dirty word what with all the "flicka" and all...
Hello all
ReplyDeletejust in case you want to see it
here is the Wayne Hussey playing
a night like this in lima, just a few days ago!

David, ANY cure song, because i would freeze up completely.
ReplyDeleteALTHOUGH: During the pop encores when Bob gets really nutty and I get all giddy, I would likely jump at the chance to get on stage with him and dance. But ONLY in the passion of the moment, as it were. Indeed, Anah and I were ready to jump the barricade during the pop encores in Charlotte, were we not, Anah?
ReplyDeleteHey there,
ReplyDeleteNot sure who or how to mail this out to the blog here, so I'll just put it in a comment. Here is a cover song, from the Watson Twins doing Just Like Heaven. Not sure if it has been previously posted or not, but here you go: http://www.myspace.com/thewatsontwins
