not surprisingly, it sounds kinda like 80s bowie.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

but not in a great way.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't heard this yet. BUT I WANT TO. I expect I will find it inoffensively pleasant.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, that's about it. Sorry I don't have an mp3, you'll have to wait about 4 hours until I get home.

is it a cover of the Cher song? Please tell me it is.

guess I was lying about not having an mp3.

c'mon!! no reactions??

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I just got home!

Heh. Robert Smith, if you believe his lyrics, has been losing body parts since 1985... I'm charmed, though. Henh. Mmmm. Gooey.

Wow, I had actually heard this before! I love it!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

The older I get, the less I'm able to tolerate wealthy rock stars complaining.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, is anyone else picking up on them stealing the lick from Fiction Records' only non-Cure hit, Eat's "Mr. And Mrs. Smack"?

The older I get, the less I'm able to tolerate wealthy rock stars complaining.

So, basically you fall into the "all songs are autobiographical camp"?

"The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get..."

This is great!

I do mercilessly consume all Cure-related things like a deranged locust though. Therefore, pay me no heed.

― Muppet Boy, Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:46 (twenty-two years ago)

(HAHA for those wondering Muppet Boy is neither me nor Ned.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

OR AM I?

*gasp*

― Muppet Boy, Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

That too Seb.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 18 December 2003 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

That said, I think this is pretty good for new Cure-related stuff. I like the melody, and the lyrics are nicely written (if it wasn't the 500th time he was saying it.)

― Seb, Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Just downloading this now, so I thought I'd pass the time by saying how much I like the track Robert's done on the new Blink 182 album. A million times more lovely than a collaboration between such incongruous bedfellows has any right to be.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Been too busy for the past week. Might say something tonight.
