Win a copy of 'Love and Other Tragedies'

Music-News will be giving away 5 copies of Roger and Julia's 'Love and Other Tragedies'. The page originally said it would be CDs, now it says vinyl. But Roger says it will be rare CDs: "Actually we are going to make 5 CDs burnt straight from the original digital mastering files. You actually can't get a higher quality file on a physical format so... This is now quite interesting, so ENTER!" 

Another Twilight Sad Cure mention

This one's from an interview at Quiffed Owl:

QO: Tell me about the Robert Smith (The Cure) thing?

JG: Aye, Robert Smith of The Cure has covered There Is A Girl In The Corner, the first song off our new record and that is a double A side. I will play you that now
(Plays song from his phone).

I cannot believe that The Cure like our band, it’s fucking mental.

The Cure and The Smiths are my biggest influences. I love the Smiths, I have actually done a few sessions with Mike Joyce, he’s a really nice bloke. The Cure to me though, progressively are a band that have always tried new things.

Andy Vella's new website

"one of the original adverts for the charlotte sometimes single, 1981. shame robert bit a chunk out of it!"

The Cure at MOMA

 
"One week sightseeing in The Big Apple I see my Band at MoMA (The Museum Of Modern Art ) New York, wow" (Thanks Fred)

MOMA is obviously hinting at those 'Head on the Door' 30th anniversary shows at the Beacon in November. ;)

Latin Jazz saxophonist Jessy J. does a great instrumental cover of 'Lovesong'. It's from her new album 'My One and Only One', which is out now. (Thanks Rob)
