Cure make more Best of 2008 lists

The Troubadour secret show was #1 on Lyndsey Parker's Top Ten L.A. Gigs of 2008. (Thanks Heron)

4:13 Dream is #23 on Planet Sounds' Top 50 Albums of 2008 chart. (Thanks Andrew)

The album is also #2 on Jeremy Willets' Top 10 of 2008 list in the Cleveland Free Times, and #7 on Craig S. Semon's Top 10 of 2008 list in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

The 4Tour is mentioned as one of the best shows in Tampa this year, by the Tampa Tribune. (Thanks Kate)

    "4:13 Dream was a disappointment"? aggreed! it's the weakest cure-album ever! and the 4 tour was imo their worst and most boring tour they ever made. i left the show i attended cos it was soooo boring, too loud and porl played such a rubbish...

    imo the cure are dead! the band died when robert kicked out perry and roger and porl joined the band again.

    Next time better to say he’s from Pluto. Unless you’re one of those astronomy Communist bastards who demoted Pluto so that it’s not even a planet anymore. Besides the Uranus conversation has me strangely aroused.

    Be that as it may…I do think that the 4tour seemed like it got better as it went along.

    No way. THE CURE [2004] is weak, weak, weak.

    Too loud? My ears barely rang after the show! Go see Mogwai or Mission To Burma and tell me that Cure are too loud!

    Not to threadjack, but I have posted up a bunch of new teeshirt designs, including a yin/yang inspired Lovecats tee and the highly-requested Cure peeps design. Check them all out on my site here Underneath the Stars
