A reminder...
Given recent activity of the moronic owner of Twitter, more people are leaving again, and this is just a reminder that CoF is also on Bluesky (one of the Twitter alternatives).

New interview with Reeves

NewDad on their 'Just Like Heaven' cover
From NME:
On stage at Woodsies, the Galway band performed a cover of The Cure’s ‘Just Like Heaven’, which recently did the rounds on social media after becoming a staple of their live set. Their gloriously faithful take on the track led to a Twitter follow from Robert Smith, Dawson said. “There are so many amazing songs by The Cure that we could cover, but we all gravitated towards that one. It’s fun to put your own spin on a song, and hopefully we do it justice.”

Trey Parker talks about The Cure's visit to Casa Bonita
From Westwood:
The Cure visited Casa Bonita while on tour in 2023:
The South Park creators had kept in contact with singer Robert Smith after The Cure frontman famously appeared in the last episode of the show’s first season to defeat Mecha-Streisand (go watch it), and Parker invited the band to Casa Bonita when the Cure was in Denver on tour last June. The musicians showed up in black SUVs, and after he saw Casa Bonita, Smith told Parker, “Wow, this is mental” -- he thought they were “just having tacos." Another surprise: The band didn't know that the restaurant's Day of the Dead amusement featured its song “The Blood” (with the proper licensing, of course). When Parker showed it to Smith, he responded with this: “That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.”
