Cure on Rage in Australia

Update 2: Here's the video. (Thanks Explodingboy)

Update: Looks like it will be The Cure doing Primary. Sounds like a great show!

"There’s a show on Australian TV on ABC called Rage and this Saturday night(30/01/10), they will replay an old program called Studio 31. This is what their twitter feedsaid about it: “Just unearthed a show called Studio 31 - it's 1980s Countdown performances! Don't think these have been seen in decades... - performances from Adam & The Ants, Status Quo, The Police, The Ramones, The Village People, Cheap Trick, The Cure...” Apparently Rage (which is an all night program) will open with the replay of Studio 31…" (Thanks Marc)

Close To Me in Hot Tub Time Machine

"Hot Tub Time Machine is set in 1986 and features many great songs from that year. Among them is 'Close to Me' in the scene when John Cusack breaks into a house with this girl he met and they hang out 'Sixteen Candles' style. You'll understand more once the film gets released in March. Hilarious, definitely recommend it. Saw an advance screening tonight."
