Martin Gore at Santa Barbara show
"I saw the Santa Barbara Cure show and I had the chance to meet Martin Gore of Depeche Mode after the show of all places... coming out of the bathroom. No one around me seemed to have noticed him. I figured since he lives in Santa Barbara he must have been checking out the show. He was a real pleasure to speak with."
(Thanks Mike)

Modern Rock chart article
From Billboard:
BACK WITH 'ONE': The Cure began its chart run on Modern Rock Tracks in April 1989 with "Fascination Street" and charted consistently until 1997, amassing 13 chart entries during those years. The group didn't chart again until 2000, with the No. 10 hit "Maybe Someday."
Then there was a four-year gap, as the band returned to the Modern tally with "The End of the World," which peaked at No. 19 in 2004.
Now, almost another four years has gone by, and the Cure is back. "The Only One" (Suretone/Geffen) is a new entry at No. 35.
Note: That was last week. Up to #32 this week.

Dream 13 semi-confirmed?
Nothing is official yet, but it seems to be moving in that direction:
"I can confirm that the title of the new album will be "Dream 13".
2 french websites are announcing it : FNAC (CD's-DVD's shops) and NRJ (radio)."
From FNAC:
L'avis de la Fnac sur "The only one" - The Cure
Placé sous le signe du chiffre 13, le nouvel et treizième album "DREAM 13" sera précédé de 4 singles (physiques et digitaux) comprenant chacun un extrait de l’album et un titre inédit et qui sera commercialisé le 13 de chaque mois avant l’album, prévu pour le 13 septembre. Premier de la série et qui cristallise donc toute l’attente et l’envie des fans, THE ONLY ONE, écrit et produit par The Cure, sortira le 16 mai exceptionnellement.
From NJR:
The Cure joue la carte de la superstition
28/05/2008 - 19h00
La bande à Robert Smith a choisi le nombre 13 comme symbole pour leur prochain album.
Ce treizième opus s'appellera Dream 13 et sera dans les bacs le 13 septembre chez Polydor.
Le premier single The Only One est sorti le 13 mai. Quant au deuxième, Freakshow, il sera disponible le 13 juin.
Eponyme, le dernier disque des Cure est paru en 2004. La formation est actuellement en tournée aux Etats-Unis.
