Updated version of Never Enough in April

"I was poking around on the official site of Jeff Apter (author of the Cure bio "Never Enough") and I saw that a revised version of the book will be out in April. If you go to jeffapter.com.au and check the "current releases" sidebar on the right hand side, you'll see a mention of what I'm talking about. No details about new content are given, but I looked it up on Amazon and it will have 352 pages versus the original 338." (Thanks Natalie)

Looks like it will be an updated version in paperback and is scheduled for release in April.

Curespotting

"Last night I was watching the Utah Jazz tromp all over Chris Paul and New Orleans (sorry Craig). They were honoring Utah Announcer Hot Rod Hundley for announcing his 3,000th game and the background music during the presentation…All I Want by The Cure! Very surprising." (Thanks Sam)

"A silly, but funny, Curespotting." (Thanks Kate)

"Looking around the great blog, mutant sounds, and found this. Seems there was a band back in the early 80's inspired by the best song from 'faith' (IMO). download to find some tracks that somewhat resemble skeletal cure songs from that period, as well as an interesting cover of 'the forest' - from 1983 - guessing it was the first cure cover ever released (on cassette, anyway)."
(Thanks Trevin)
