    I think it's serious. It's the same seller that listed The Only One weeks before the offical confirmation on www.thecure.com

    Down Under sounds quite good to me. Somehow like NY Trip... :)

    Moon - Oh I don't doubt it. Our source, "Friend Of COF", had pretty much confirmed that Sleep would be next. He/She just didn't know the b-side yet.

    the quote on the ebay page says "'Sleep When I'm Dead' is the Tird of this series"

    I'll bet you anything the 4th single is Baby Rag Dog Book. That would make sense. They've been closing their sets with that song, and it definitely does not sound like the last song on an album. It's the last song of the singles series.

    Excellent! The first 2 songs have been better than any of the singles off the last album bring it on! what price a boy i used to know for august....

    4th single has to be 'perfect boy.' it just has 'single' written all over it.

    I'm loving this "release singles on the 13th of every month" thing... it just keeps being something to get excited about and look forward to! Whee! Love the genius madman that is RS! :^D

    Yeah, I sincerely doubt that Baby Rag Dog Book would ever be a single, there's nothing single about it and theoretically a "single" is supposed to something catchy to draw people into the album. BRDB is the kind of song that Robert puts on his albums for the hardcore fans. It's too noisy to be a single. I'm certain Perfect Boy will be the final single, it only makes sense. Wow,I said the word "single" in every sentence. Single!

    Sofia - Woo hoo a song about their time in Australia last year? Maybe about the girl with the black hair in the front row at the Adelaide concert?

    ReplyDelete
  12. MoontearJune 15, 2008 at 5:45 PM

    BRDB won't be a single. It's too much instrumental and too less vocals. 2 minutes intro... never gonna be a single! But I doubt too the BRDB will be the album closing track... maybe like Shiver and Shake on Kiss me³ the rocker before the pathetic ending. ;)

    There has to be a more distinguishing characteristic than "the girl the black hair in the front row..." I find it hard to believe that there's ever been a Cure show with less than a few "girls with black hair in the front row" heh.

    No Elise just has cute feet that are apparently in many photos from around the world. Maybe Robert noticed. : )

  22. JPXJune 15, 2008 at 6:16 PM

    It's so funny, feet are one of those things that women talk about a lot but, truth be known, I don't think guys care about them in the least. I remember in college there was this obese girl named Gretchen and she always pointed out what small feet she had. I always thought, "Yeah, but, ..." Having said all this, I'm sure Elise's feet are cute (whatever "cute" feet means) =)

    Well, you KNOW that Robert is never going to write a song about South America, since they never go there. Geez, with as strong a fanbase as they have down there, why is it that they haven't hit that area with a full tour since 1987?

    i'm pumped for this SWID. it's my favorite of the new songs besides UTS, and UTS most likely won't be the august single (although that would be cool), so i feel like this is MY single. :)

    oh and it also comes out three days after my birfday so that's an added bonus. :)

  89. revoltJune 17, 2008 at 4:01 AM

    @themisnomers:

    Portishead’s debut, 'Dummy' (1994), is their classic, and probably the best way to get started. It´s the most varied one, some of the songs are even groovy (although not really party music – that is simply not their style).
    However, their live album from 1998, 'Roseland NYC Live', could very well be just as good a way to start. It mixes songs from their first 2 albums and is kind of special in that it was recorded with an orchestra – which adds to the overall romantic feeling of the whole thing. All in all, it’s torch song paradise.

    Anyway, this year’s 'Third' is also good, although more difficult to get into. More experimental, trying different sound possibilities, with usually good results, but I think it just lacks enough GREAT songs to be called a masterpiece.

    You could (and should) also check 'Out of Season', credited to Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man, which is sort of a side project by Portishead's singer and which is truly beautiful. Actually, it could be called the best Portishead album that Portishead never released.
