"Disintegration Forever..." by Bolafeld
4 months ago

Bottom line...this is my favorite record ever made! I have always thought so, and was even floored, when I heard on the famous Robert Smith Southpark episode, that Matt and Trey had to add in the end "...Disintegration is the best album ever!!!" I couldn't agree more! Now there is a way that I think it could be better, but it's still the best...and that would be to add the b-side "Babble" after...

The Cure: 80s. Hairspray. Black make up. Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club. New wave but old. Recently awarded godlike genius status at the NME awards, the Cure headlined another NME awards show at the O2 Arena.The line-up was as random as the actual NME awards themselves, Oasis having won best band, when they haven’t been since nineteen ninety fucking six. It’s the Emperor's new clothes. Some

This is an oak tree (or is it a glass of water?)

Blog post image preview

I always love stumbling across cool and interesting stuff that you'd probably otherwise never hear about. The chains of links that make up modern life are extraordinarily convoluted. Are they not.So why am I writing about an oak tree? And not even a physically present one at that, as far as appearances are concerned, but one present in substance, though really present.

3 months ago

In the course of conversation the other night, the subject shifted to opera - a musical form that has never garnered much of my attention. I don't go to operas. I don't proactively listen to opera.

But my friend was going on and on about how hearing the late Luciano Pavarotti sing the exquis...

The big four-oh
3 months ago

Yup, it's here. I'm officially too old to even leave a good-looking corpse. Although my wife would beg to differ, haha.To be honest, last year I was quite depressed about my birthday. Work wasn't going well, there were lots of things going on in and around the family that made the prospect of being 39 not very appealing. I was kicking against the pricks, so to speak. I even left my own birthday...

Anomoly, will we?

Go ahead, put that red button in your Post-Punk Friday and smoke it.There was a time, a long time ago, when I didn't have every Cure album readily available to me. I hadn't delved into the back catalog beyond the Japanese Whispers mini-album, didn't have that desire to have every song Robert Smith committed to tape/vinyl/plastic/whatever.Taking a chance and picking up the Concert casette change...
