NME's Top 500 Albums of All Time

The Cure place 2 albums on NME's Top 500 Albums of All Time list. 'Disintegration' at #139 & 'The Head on the Door' at #494. See the full list at Consequence of Sound. Before getting upset about the list, keep in mind that it's from NME. Of course it's ridiculous! :)

Pearl Thompson appearance on Oct. 17th

From Lisa Johnson on Facebook: "Come see me n Porl on 10/17 at Mr Musichead Gallery for the 108 RSG EXHIBIT & BOOK LAUNCH!"

'Wild Mood Swings' revisited

Soundwaves took another look at 'Wild Mood Swings', and tried to make it a better album. But they left 'Club America', 'Return' and 'Round & Round & Round' on it, and deleted 'Strange Attraction' & 'Gone', so they failed. :)

Fantastic photos/videos from recent shows

Wanted to spotlight some of the fantastic photos from the recent shows:

Here's William Soragna's photos from El Paso & ACL weekend 2.

And from Mauro Melis, photos from El Paso (Flickr & Sound of Violence) and  ACL weekend 2 (Flickr & Sound of Violence)

Simon and The Silence

Yet another Doctor Who reference from Simon, and further proof of his awesomeness. See those sets of marks on his arm? He must have run into The Silence quite a few times in Austin! ;) Thanks to Rev. Heron for sending the photo, and to Fuji for taking it at Austin City Limits on Oct. 5th.

No East Coast "special appearance" show

Roger confirmed it on Facebook. In reply to a comment about waiting on word about that show, Roger replied, "Not happening!" So looks like if you want/need to see The Cure this year, you better get to Voodoo.
