Nice man,

Excited to see where the Seattle show will be. Either doing that one or Vancouver. Saw Bjork at Deer Lake Park and had a good time but May is a real shady time to have an outdoor concert in the PNW.

i posted this but didn't realize "yet unreleased tracks." are we about to get a new Cure album?

I sure hope so.

PUT OUT A NEW RECORD, YOU DICKS!

With more than 100,000 votes cast — 101,336 to be exact — it’s time to reveal Slicing Up Eyeballs readers’ rankings of all 225 original songs officially released by The Cure over the past four decades...

Fun fact: The No. 1 and No. 2 songs, after earning nearly 3,000 votes apiece, were separated by a single vote. The song that finished second was leading the way for much of the balloting, then the two switched positions near the end, and flipped back and forth a few more times before the poll closed.

a few thoughts: 100,000 votes, wow. with most of these polls the songs outside the Top 30 are a bit better as they are deeper cuts, i think our poll come out better, ranking songs seems to provide better results and wasn't so single heavy at the top. i did submit two ballots myself and what i did was take my ballot from this poll for PO25 and then used the last 15 to round out my ballot from there added 10 other songs with no repeats on either ballot. i should have just started over as i'm sure things have changed but used my ILM ballot anyways.

100 000 votes is incredibly impressive. It's nice to see "Charlotte Sometimes" so high. “Plainsong”, “One Hundred Years”, “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea”, “A Strange Day” and “Push” are all great selections as non-singles in the Top 30.

“From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea” to this day is still my favorite Cure song.

It's also definitely up there for me as one of the finest things this band ever did.

just one vote difference between "a forest" and "just like heaven", that's nothing. i am surprised votes were that dispersed and that "a forest" didn't get more votes.

this is the funniest start to an interview i have ever seen i love robert smith man pic.twitter.com/7H4okzPX0L

American bubble gum enthusiasm meets British understatement?

Full interview^^

Where she claims to a clearly bemused RS to have been "a Cure fan since birth".

Showed my wife the clip and she asked if they’d been indoctrinated into the rock and roll hall of fame, which made me laugh as much as the original clip.

Holy shit, how does she sustain that onslaught for so long? They should induct her!
