2018-06-07 The Guardian

When he was on the radio the other week he admitted that in saying BST was the only European show he realised he had sort of stitched himself up.
That's why this is being billed as Curaetion 25. 
On the radio he described it as him & four of his closest musical friends playing songs from The Cure's back catalogue.

So... Friday I'm in Love, Why Can't I Be You, Hot, Hot, Hot!!!, Inbetween Days, Just Like Heaven, Lullaby, High, Pictures of You, Let's Go to Bed, Boys Don't Cry, Mint Car, The Walk, The Lovecats, The End Of The World, Alt. End, etc... for me.

The good stuff for the Meltdown lucky ones.

I'm so depressed.

I see the NME have effectively copied the key points from T' Grauniad.

You and me both, but hey Robert could just walk onto the stage and stand/sit there for 2 hours doing nothing... I'd still enjoy the show. 

Something similar happened in 2011.
They announced the Reflections shows in Sydney & Vivid even stated "this will be the first, and only, time The Cure perform these albums in succession." then later that year they announced Bestival.
Naturally the UK was easier to get to than Australia for a lot of folks, especially in Europe. Plus the Reflections tickets sold out pretty damn quickly.
Then they suddenly announced more Reflections shows in London & the US. I know loads of people had travelled to the Bestival date & were slightly miffed to discover they'd have to fork out to travel again for the Reflections shows.

Ok but what does it mean in terms of songs ? I don't see many people "hands in the air" on Cold or Bloodflowers ;-)

I have the feeling that people don't really dance (or jump) even on the pop tunes (with the very rare exception of bcc), they don't do the 'oooohohooooo' on play for today, they don't throw their 'arms in the sky' on fteotdgs... no fun, the audience is disappointing

Anyone has a spare edition of the paper edition of The Guardian for me?
