Anyone have the RS album retrospective video?
Can anyone help Patrick with this? I found it on YouTube, but it's blocked by UMG. I believe it was called Backspin and originally posted on Yahoo Launch in 2000? Not sure. Thanks!
"Wondering if you might know where I can find an interview with Robert (more of a talking-head type thing) where he talks for a few minutes about the making of each album and before he talked about each one, they flashed a shot of the album cover.. I'm pretty sure it was around the time that Bloodflowers came out. I think it ran for about 14 minutes or so total."

Glove news soon?
From Steven Severin on Facebook: "Can't spill the beanz yet, but....there is GLOVELINESS for collectors coming in April." (Thanks @guillaumegrivaz)

Where's Tim going?
@timpopedirector A clairvoyant just told me: you will go on a trip
— Tim Pope (@timpopedirector) January 28, 2013
I wonder where he might be going? :) And is he bringing his cameras? Maybe to film the Lima show, as this article claims?

Just had to post this to commemorate the day The Cure sent their first tweet. :)
Aw, they deleted the first one. I should have screen capped it. But now they've tweeted it again, with the new band photo as their profile pic.

Robert asks a question
AMISTILLHERE?
Guessing he might have something to say soon. :) And we can hopefully end the nonsense and get some real, official word on these shows.
Update (Jan. 28th, 2013): Now changed to AREWESTILLHERE? And added the new promo shot by Andy Vella.
And now changed again to THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED! with the details of the LatAm tour.

Rumor: South America in April/May
The latest nonsense from South America comes from this article (English) which now says those "confirmed" & "locked in" Cure shows in April, are now going to be in May. IF this article can be trusted.
Once again, and I know I'm a broken record on this, but no shows have been officially announced, and until you see it on the Cure's official website, Facebook, or Twitter, no matter what the media & promoters swear to, it is not confirmed.
(Thanks @Pjotrke)
And just to make it all the more comical, this article (English) is sticking with the April dates, and claiming an announcement will be made on Saturday (Jan. 19th). (Thanks Moisés)
Update (Jan. 25th, 2013): 2 new articles, from Popload (English) and Cancha General (English), are now claiming that the official announcement will be made on Saturday or Monday at the latest. Keep in mind that this will be the 3rd time that this announcement was supposed to be made, so be optimistic, but don't hold your breath. The articles claim the delay in announcing the tour are due to the band adding more dates to the tour. Instead of just playing in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, the article claims that shows have been added in Peru, Colombia, and Paraguay. Is any of this actually true? Guess we'll find out on Monday. (Thanks Perfect.Murder and @biva77)
And now this article (English) says the announcement of the show in Chile will happen on Jan. 29th at the Hard Rock Cafe in Santiago. (Thanks Mad Bob RJS)
Update (Jan. 26th, 2013): This article says The Cure are confirmed for Bogota, Colombia on April 19th. And here's a TV report about that. Popload runs down what they know, what they think they know, and what they hope they know. (Thanks @biva77, @Lilialoman)

New interview with Lol
Part 1 of a new interview with Lol from "It's a Strange World...with Frank Cronogue" has been posted here.
Update (Jan. 21st, 2013): And here at long last is part 2 of the interview. In it, Lol mentions that Robert told him that the 'Reflections' DVD would be out by Christmas. Obviously, that didn't happen.
Update (Jan. 23rd, 2013):Lol posted this note to clarify what he said about the 'Reflections' DVD possibly coming out last Christmas - "We had to use Skype for the recent interview I did for "Its A Strange World With Frank Cronogue" as I live in Los Angeles and Frank's in London. Unfortunately ( as you can probably hear) it sometimes mangles words or dips them out entirely.
So when Frank asked me about the release of A DVD of The Reflections show the crucial word in my answer got mangled a bit ! So, in my reply with regards to a DVD release "Robert wrote to me recently and he said is HOPING by Christmas this year" The crucial word here is "hoping" but I realize you have to listen hard to catch that! .Sorry for any confusion! Of course when it is actually released you will find out first from www.thecure.com."
