who knows when i stopped knowing or why: some Monday mornings are for calling in sick, kicking off the slippers, climbing onto bed, playing air guitar in full first person shooting game force to no bollocks songs.

Cool video/tune. Mondays are definitely for playing hooky (as we say in the U.S.) of all kinds... staying in bed playing (real) guitar, definitely rates right up there for me. Hope you're at least staying in bed today... :)
Cheers!

Hey, a Cure track I've not heard! And it's a corker at that. AND Mighty Lemon Drops. Killer stuff here, Ilay! :)
Yup. Cool tracking. And jeez, do those Cure boys look young in that photo! (Sometimes, you just gotta be kind to yourself, poe. You're your own best friend.)
Van - i've always wondered if "playing hooky" applies only to work and school. how about if i am worming my way out of a date or a family reunion, can i still use that phrase?
...and why "hooky"? does New Order's bass deity have anything to do with it? :}
Dale - whereas the version of "Let's Go To Bed" finally unleashed to the world was so new wave, this early incarnation (i am assuming, from the track title) was so punk!
the disc it belongs to is entirely awesome. which, if you've not heard, you will soon. (;
Mike - alas, the rebellion lasted not a minute longer than one morning as i've had to be sucked back to the vacuum for some very urgent things.
the Cure boys look so young it breaks my heart to ponder my own lifetime. ;D
Very cool find ilay! Thanks for sharing it, I'll have to check out that website cause my music library is in great need of this since it's a fave album of mine.
I was late to discovering TMLD although I'd heard a few of their songs when they were still together but it was after they had broken up that I bought a cutout bin cd of theirs & got hooked. I now have 4 of their cds.
Aug - glad you dig. it is only the photo that came from the website. i found it through Google Images and know nothing whatsoever of what's in the site - 'though if you find any booty, let me know!
Pornography is my favorite Cure album, it really is. (we've got much to hi-5 about!) please wait for the Rarities disc on the dark side (tomorrow, i'm real busy today).
LOL on TMLD - spoken like a music junkie! ;p
Cool, as is oft stated, good thing come to those that wait! I'll be keeping an eye out for it on the dark side. I should specify that Pornography is one of my fave Cure cds. "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" is my #1 fave cd of theirs. I have their Live dvd from Berlin that has them playing Pornography from beginning to end & it's the shiznit. They also play 'Disintegration' & 'Blood Flowers' from beginning to end live. I wish they'd chosen 'Kiss Me . . .' to play from beginning to end live but in the interviews Robert says they chose these three since they'd never performed them completely through live & it was during their 'Blood Flowers' tour.
And yes, I am nothing if not a true music junkie, lol!
Sounds like you've got the post-punk edition of Guitar Hero. Careful on those jumps, don't trip on the fuzzy rabbit slippers.
I'm just a kind of casual Cure listener, but I'm likin' the echoey goodness up there.
That Spoon tune is oddly catchy (though they speak in tongues...)
Didn't the Lemondrops do a video where they were like being pursued by godzilla? Maybe it's a different band, but I keep trying to find it when reminded, to no avail.
Didn't know this song either...mmmmmm!
Is it a cover of the 311 song? ;)
I swear, I did NOT recognize them in that picture....
GREAT tunes! And in hearing most of them, I am looking back. Which means time has passed, is passing, and I woke up the other day thinking that there are more days behind me than are ahead (of course I believed this at 20). And this is only another good reason for me to play these songs again! And I do love this Spoon song and all the songs on A Series of Sneaks. I like what they were doing then better than now... (if you received a message similar to this it is because the first one failed on my end...) Also, being a relative newbee, I have never seen this mixtape app--it's awesome. I want to try it...how?
Aug - that Berlin DVD sounds awesome. i will see if i can find it here. is Blood Flowers great? i never really got into it. i barely remember what it sounds like.
Scott - busted! they are fuzzy but not rabbit. you know, i've never played Guitar Hero ever. am i missing anything?
didn't Bjork do a chased-by-Godzilla video? i don't know anymore.
Anna - hahahahh it took a while to get over that piece of info from Sam.
i know! Robert Smith as a teenager!
Klyde - i love A Series Of Sneaks, that song more than most 'though it's hard to choose favorites in the album. when i consider that the ages of 11 to 45 matter most in conscious, productive life, then i certainly have most of them behind me. wasted youth! (mostly.)
the mixtape is not a MOG app. check it out at www.mixwit.com - drag and drop songs from a database into a "blank tape", choose skin / font / colors, assign mixtape title, et voilà! enjoy!
The Cure has to rank up there with one of my all-time favorites. I can name a few of their albums that are deserted island types.
Pat, they were my absolute all-time favorite up until the '90s. funny enough, 1992 was the year Wish came out (the last album of theirs i loved) and also the year Little Earthquakes came out (and then i became a Tori Amos fanatic).
Robert Smith was probably the one guy i had idolized for the longest time. and then i grew up. (:
"Wish" is up there on my top albums list. I can listen to that album front to back.
Ned's Atomic Dustbin was also ALWAYS playing on my stereo. God Fodder on repeat along with Jane's Addiction, The Charlatans, Primus, Helmet, and Live's Mental Jewelry.
all those, hellsyeah! bad things have been said about Live but i maintain that Mental Jewelry was a good album. The Beauty Of Gray! with those guitars!
