I’m not really sure what it is about The Cure, but I love them. Always have. I used to have a whole wall covered in Robert Smith when I was 13 - a big wall. And my mom bought me Galore when I got straight A’s in 8th grade (it was the only one I didn’t have). I saw ‘em at a M.A.D. TV taping, and I went home 3 hours early on Halloween in 8th grade just to make sure I hit record on time, to tape their Madison Square Garden show from start to finish. I’ve seen ‘em 6 times, and next Saturday that 6 will be a 7. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t really that stoked on it. I mean, initially I was, cause my mom bought me (really good) tickets for Christmas, but the feeling kinda wore off and I almost didn’t wanna go anymore.
Maybe I feel like the nostalgia is gonna make me visit some stuff I don’t wanna visit. Too much information….whatever. My point is really just that I’M GONNA SEE THE CURE NEXT WEEKEND AND I’M TOTALLY STOKED.
I got a new phone too so expect a video (or at least some photos) next Sunday.
Thoughts on the new single? It sounds like the cure stuff I love. Die hards get ready to bash my teeth in: my favorite Cure song is Mint Car.
HA!
