What Are You Listening To?

So I often make fun of Robert Smith of The Cure for how perfectionist he is and how he has to do and re-do his vocals 1,000 times before releasing a new Cure album.

Thinking it would never happen I pledged on the air that if the Cure releases an ablum in 2024...........I will dress up like Robert Smith that day.   The hair and the makeup.     

Looks like The Cure is releasing a new album in November.        

I'll send pictures.

We've been giving tickets away for Jane's Addiction / Love & Rockets next Friday

If they cancel I'll get 2 or 3 winners that insist we owe them something.     

We don't. 

Nothing’s shocking anymore. There’s  no new tale to tell with people these days.

They just need to stop, but I guess whether they do the show or not, summertime rolls on.   We'll see if it lasts another three days.   i thought the tension was all in my  mind.   anyway, its no big deal.

Stunning News.   The rest of the Jane's Addiction tour is canceled 

Perry has announced a 90 day solo acoustic residency at the Garden Room of the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, CA.

Did you read Doughty's "Book of Drugs" ?    He did not speak kindly of his Soul Coughing experience.

I haven't read it, but I'm aware of his (past) animosity and that he blamed the others for getting him into heroin.

glad they've patched things up, anyway, even if only so they can do a reunion tour. it was a fun show, and I went with my friend who had missed seeing them live in the '90s, so good stuff all around.

Has she honestly never heard What's Going On by Marvin Gaye?  

Seriously, what kind of bubble is she living in?   She got all those advanced degrees in music and it never came up?

Wait, Haircut 100 is back?       That's very out of nowhere.     42 years later.............LOL 

 

And the song is really good too.   

Were they a precursor to one of the other known British New Wave bands?   I recall a bunch of movement among bands during that period that seemed like that of California professional sports teams.

[edit: not seeing that they did that but am seeing that the drummer Blair Cunningham on a bunch of their songs was a classic session drummer with a lot of credits to various bands]

That profile suggests he lived in London.
