The Cure's new single.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Haha. No one bothered to tell me either, till she was like "Y'know I'll be there, right?" Er...NO?!

It's gonna f**king rock. Even if The Cure just play Lovesong over and over again.

Okay, no. That would not rock, and I'd be forced to throw my boots at Robert's head

Hey! I'll have you know I've not once fallen off my docs. Fallen out of them, sure. But not off them.

I would imagine boot throwing would come after large amounts of gin/vodka/whatever the hell is around are consumed.

Haha. The Tramp Club? I know nothing about this. I imagine I was drunk when this club was formed, right?

Haha. Yes. By that point in time, I'd drunk a bit, so don't remember any of that. :P

Although I can imagine you, Jo and Gareth doing that, which is worrying.

I've seen him using your new rocks as a pillow though.

Ah. While there was god knows how many of you in that one room, me and Jo had a double bed to ourselves. Whee!

I've heard Lovecats and Lets Go To Bed live. Lovecats is a rare outing...I heard it at their charity gig on December 11th last year.

I'm not seeing the huge problem with The End Of The World...I actually really like it...Which is more than can be said for the last lot of singles they've had out... :\

End of the World is definaly growing on me. Lost is still my fave from the new album. Before three and Us Or Them are kinda fab too.

I like Taking Off. The new album is pretty good really, and much better than could be expected. Roll on July 9th!

Ok, I know its sad that I know this, but...

Killing an Arab was released by indie label Small Wonder in November 1978 in limited quantities, so that Chris Parry (who was then working for Polydor) could see if it was worth releasing on his new Fiction label. The single sold well and was given very good reviews so he went ahead. Killing an Arab became the first record relased on Fiction in January 1979.

I will now hide under a stone for a bit I think...

Not funny, ageist!

"Anniversary" does it for me ... but I wasn't too impressed with much else on the album at all... maybe later.
