Dunno, not really excited about that concert film either. Setlist was pretty bland and the setting too. I don’t really see the point of this (Reflections or the Disintegration show would maybe have been more interesting)

I was just listening to Wish, streaming it, and noticed it was branded "explicit." I assume that means profanity, but I'm trying to remember where on the album there's any profanity.

the end of Wendy Time has a "fuck" in it

Huh, so it does! Is there much or really for that matter any profanity in the rest of the Cure catalog?

The Kiss has a "fuck" in it, but I can't think of any others offhand. In Wendy Time he's kinda self-censoring by swallowing most of the word!

Interviewed Tim Pope the other day about the forthcoming concert film -- great chat, and the film's excellent. Story should run next week.
In the meantime, enjoy yesterday's Glastonbury set:

Saw it last night on the telly. They're truly on form again. A delight to see Robert Smith enjoying himself as much as he did, quirky dance moves and all.

Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett chats with Pope about his forthcoming Cure concert film Anniversary as well as more unusual anecdotes about his many music videos for them than you can shake a stick at. Or is that a sock?

I also misread it that way and thought "the pope" was a terrible new nickname for Robert Smith.

Astounding.
Seeing the film last night in a full theater experience was pretty great.

Simon's had to step away for a few dates and has been replaced by...his son!

Read the statement wrong -- just the one date and Simon comes back. That's a curio of a show now!

They were very fun at Roskilde, and it's remarkable how gracefully Robert Smith has aged. He looks like my grandma when she was in her eighties, and it looks as if he really leans into it, and it's really rock'n'roll. It's also nice that they didn't have a mediocre new album they had to promote, and the Cure sound is just made for festivals.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 28 July 2019 19:42 (five years ago) link
is anyone from this board going to the show this weekend? i'm still not sure if i'm going because of everything that is going on with my life. any of those issues don't seem to outweigh that one BIG positive one. The Cure are playing one date in the United States this year, outside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, and it's in my back yard. how can i not go to this show?

I’m going. It’ll be fun. My main Q as an outoftowner is if the public transportation options are actually going to be workable
― alomar lines, Wednesday, 28 August 2019 04:51 (five years ago) link
that is a good question. i was looking at getting to Union Station and getting there that way. the problem is getting home as most things seem to stop at that time of night. so to get home, if i got there via Union Station, is Uber.

Hit with a lot of expenses this month, but we're going to try for last minute closeout deals on StubHub.

i know i really do need to go and i haven't seen the Pixies since the last time they opened for the Cure at Dodger Stadium in 1989. there is just this thing called life that is getting in the way. i'm trying tho.

at least a few of my friends went. the one I talked to afterward is one of the most rabid Cure fans I've ever seen. She was miserable in the heat all day but said their set about made up for it (and then she met some of the band at the hotel later that night including Robert). But I'm glad I opted not to fly down for this

The Cure, as you can see, played 27 songs over two and a half hours at the Pasadena Daydream Festival. Pixies also got a full set with a 25 songs. the BIG deal with the Cure part is they played "Just One Kiss" live for the first time ever in the United States. i could only find a three song clip but holy fuck is this good1
"Just One Kiss" starts at the four minute mark:

BTW, i got sick and didn't make the show. mad about that as i watched the whole thing on YouTube and it looked and sounded fantastic.
