Hi folks, first time back for ages, there's something about the dark winter nights that makes me want to play loads of Cure stuff. I've been absent as my Mum passed away suddenly in Sept, and I'm finding loads of things in The Cure's music that remind me of her and my adolesence, such as remembering buying the CD single of Friday I'm In Love on holiday in Skegness, playing the Show VHS in the lounge (STILL no Show DVD, GRRRRR!) and repeatedly listening to the Wish album & singles and Disintegration whilst playing darts in my bedroom! So, its kind of comforting yet sad at the same time, all these Cure related memories.
Anyway, I'm back and promise to be more active on here! Just been playing my own versions of WMS and The Cure that I made, far more enjoyable than the original albums! So, I vote for a B-sides tour AND a new album featuring Reeves. Any trilogy featuring The T*p will feature me watching Shake Dog Shake, then going to the bar and staying there for approximately 36 minutes!
dave79: Welcome back! I'm very sorry to read about your loss but I guess, you prefer talking about other things on here. So...I partly agree about the Top matter and would join you at the bar after Shake Dog Shake for quite a while but would leave you and return to the gig action for The Empty World and The Top.
your name...like ice into my heart...a shllow grave...a monument to the ruined age...ice in my eyes...and eyes like ice don't move...screaming at the moon...as cold as silence...and you never will say a word...this is my name...and a strange day...ever and ever and ever again......
Picked Top, KMKMKM, Wish. The suggestion with 4 albums would be too much, not ? Curious who would get tired first ? The band or the audience' standing feet ;-) No serious, doesn't matter to me, if only they'd perform Wish in its entirety with B-sides such as The Big Hand and Play. Do think that the brooding Wish-songs such as To Wish Impossible Things, Trust and Apart are a beautiful counterpart to the pop-side of the Band. As I'm writing, this is really a two-faced album, it has the same veins as Head on the Door..
Would love to have a new album but recently getting back into The Cure and it's amazing the quality of their B-Sides! Going to see them for the first time in Toronto in September.
