Robert # 2 on Rock's Top Mopes list

MSN has compiled their Rock's Top Mopes list, and Robert comes in at #2, just behind Morrissey. (Thanks Marcio)

    The difference is that Morrissey actually mopes outside of his music, as well, and fits the hype a lot better than Robert.

    Oh, and Craig, funny that you should post this and not the snippet that I sent you that also mentions them both. :P

    craig is ON it.

    I think Robert is more of a Top Schizo than Top Mope. As in, several personae...

    The Cure is really cleaning up on EW. "Close to Me" made the list of best videos:

    Watch out, Robert - MonkeyButt is positioning himself to knock you out of the #2 spot!

  20. CraigJune 26, 2008 at 1:52 PM

    Going ok V. Someone asked me to send him the extra tracks from The Cure cd, and now I'm stuck on them. : )

    Everything good with you?

    Wow, hopefully this will not demote me from my kitten status, but I just realized that I've never heard those songs! :o I'm a terrible fangirl.

    Glad things are okay with you. You were quiet yesterday, so I was hoping that all was well. :) I'm okay, too. A bit stressed out today, but okay.

  22. CraigJune 26, 2008 at 2:03 PM

    WHAT! You've never heard them? Do you want them? Do you know what you've been missing? This is impossible! : )

  23. vJune 26, 2008 at 2:05 PM

    Yes, it's true. *hangs head in shame*

    If you can find it in your heart to forgive me for being so remiss, I'd love to have them. ;)

    Hang dog expression? Smith never had one of those in his life, did the guy even see a video of him? WTF, any untalented writer can rehash all the old bs about these 2 instead of actually listening to them. This hack is so out of date to bring this tired ass crap up again. Plus, you know the only thing that Robert would notice in this is that he was second to Moz.

    V, I am very disillusioned. What kind of Cure fan ARE you exactly? Those are only the BEST songs from "The Cure" sessions.

    *glares suspiciously at V, deeply skeptical of her Curefan credentials*

  30. vJune 26, 2008 at 10:13 PM

    Clockwise: Um, uh, well. I heard this one song I liked by them on the radio once, I think. *gulp*

    Oh yeah and I have made two plane trips across the ocean just to see them. Does that count for anything?? :)

    Craig: Whew, thanks - I was afraid I was going to be clawed to pieces by the sharp claws of Cat's skepticism! :)

  33. CraigJune 26, 2008 at 10:22 PM

    In fact, I hereby ban Cat from the US for two weeks, starting tomorrow. So there!

    Don't worry V, I've got your back on this one. : )

    Cat: Hope you have a great time in France! Feel free to post any "special reports" you may have while over there. : )

    V: Always! : )

    And not to be a tease or anything, but I might have to e-mail you tomorrow. ; )

    Then again, I would hate to keep bothering you. Maybe I'll just wait a few days. ; )

    Well, now don't get TOO excited. It's not the new album. You will have to wait a bit longer for that. ; )

    As a Springsteen fan, I'm here to tell you that it's quite appropriate for him to be on that list. If you don't believe me, have a look at his lyrics.

    Robert will always be my #1 Mope!
