It gets a lot of plays from me too.!!!And live footage from that era was great. Missing Simon of course, but Andy was phenomenal and Robert’s singing and guitar solos are really intense.

Fun! I hope you have a wonderful time and don’t have any issues! They closed the airport the day after we flew out, so we were lucky. We are currently in Georgia, flying to Uzbekistan tomorrow. We are making our way back home around the globe eastward.

If I’m being honest, that’s the same as at home. Autumn usually starts in October and September is the end of summer. But I looked at the forecast and it’s currently raining and a daytime high of 59F, which sounds nice right now!

#TheCureFriday This is the time of year when I usually settle into the grey drizzly days with 17 Seconds, Faith and Pornography. But I’m currently traveling around parts of the world where autumn doesn’t exist. In honor of Mt Etna erupting here yesterday, I pick Burn. 🔥 youtu.be/3fSPMezUj9Q?...

I assumed given her age that she was one of us! I’ve had the same experience with the 20 year olds I worked with at my old office. Didn’t know U2, The Police, other huge bands… Changes was on our playlist and one girl said “oh the Shrek song!” I said “this is David Bowie!” “Never hear of him.” 😭

#JoyDivision #😂😂😂😂😂 Conversation with a late- fifties-ish Italian woman in our hotel in Naples, wearing a shirt like this. Me: I like your shirt. Her: Thank you. Madrid. Me: And Joy Division. Her: No. Madrid. In Spain.
Madrid tourist t-shirt that is a play on Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album cover. It has a map of Madrid in the center of the peaks of the iconic pulsar waves. It states Madrid Placeres Conocidos.

Well, it’s not an actual thing yet. One of the DJs just declared it that and is trying to make it happen. You can listen to it here on The Morning Show w/ John Richards. He does read the email towards the end of the show. 😂 KEXP is a great station overall and worth checking out! kexp.org/archive/

One of my favorites!!! I requested this song yesterday from the KEXP DJ for International Curesday. He didn’t play it. But he did read my mini email love letter to The Cure on his show! 🖤

I love listening / watching/ reading everyone’s posts. We are all over the world, and I’ve personally only met one of you in real life (traveling to see The Cure of course), but we all share a love of this great band and it’s nice to share in! 🎶🖤🎶

I love this too about the demos. Some of them sound almost almost completely finished. Some of them have been changed significantly. What a treat to peek behind the curtain a little!

I hear a lot of Simon Gallup in his playing. His backup singing adds a lot to their songs as well.
