Three Imaginary Boys Deluxe Day, 🎉

Happy 20th Birthday to Three Imaginary Boys Deluxe!

I adore this album. The extra tracks are excellent and I love the punky early stuff the Easy Cure did. I think I Want To Be Old has hilarious lyrics! It is from the SAV Studio Demo.

Taken from The Cure - I Want To Be Old (Demo) by TheRobNoxious22 on You Tube.

Today’s vibe. 17 Seconds is underrated a little.

Three Imaginary Boys - Redux

Their first album, Three Imaginary Boys, I like it but was never a real favorite. It was not as good as it could have been because they left off all the best songs. Here is my version of what the first album should have been. Now I love it and can’t stop listening to it. 

Side A

1.    Jumping Someone Else’s Train

2.    Three Imaginary Boys

3.    Accuracy

4.    Grinding Halt

5.    Object

6.    Subway song

Side B

7.    Boys Don’t Cry

8.    10:15 Saturday Night

9.     I’m Cold

  1.  Plastic Passion

  2.  Fire in Cairo

  3.  Killing an Arab

What is everyone's top 5 favorite Wild Mood Swing songs?

Because my redone of Kiss Me didn't get very well received, I want to do Wild Mood Swings right. I actually love this album, but I want to do a redone of this album for the fans as well as for myself. So I want to hear what your guys favorite songs are, and the songs that get mentioned the most will get to stay on the redone. However I am posting my favorites, and those are staying, no matter what you do.
My Top 5 In No Order-
Jupiter Crash
Club America
Trap
Want
This Is A Lie

Anyone got obscure facts about Wild Mood Swings?

I am looking for interesting facts about Wild Mood Swings because I have been editing its Wikipedia page for quite a while. I know it's not their most loved album but this era has always been fascinating to me as there seems to have been a lot going on behind the scenes in this particular era. I am looking for any possible interviews, quotes or obscure facts with links to sources, it's not possible for one person to find everything on the Internet though I have searched a lot. I'd appreciate as much help as possible! Thanks!

Japanese Whispers Day! 💜💜🎆🎆💜💜

Two reels in one day!

Happy 41st Birthday to Japanese Whispers!

I play this a lot as it cheers me up, and I adore this period of the band.

There's not any live footage of this from 1983, so I chose this performance of Let's Go To Bed from 1996.

Lucky French people!

Happy 34th Birthday to A Forest (Tree Mix)!

This was only released in France, but is one of my favourite Cure mixes.

Love that keyboard 💚!

This was the year that I definitively chose 'Plainsong' as my favorite song by The Cure.

I was in the top 0.5% of 'Plainsong' listeners this year.

Roger o’Donnell Interview

Just released! So great to hear Roger being interviewed and he’s got a great sense of humor and sounds well. Talks about more than the Cure. Not sure if this has been posted here yet. Highly recommend!

My Retelling of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me

I've decided to do something cool, because I am pretty much done with The Cure's main discography. I got into them around the end of 2023, and now it's been a year since I've been a fan. I haven't heard all of Join The Dots, but when I heard the Kiss Me B sides, I was a bit shocked that some of them didn't make the official version. So I got to thinking, "What would it look like if the album was made differently?". I now give you Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (Return The Kiss). In my opinion this is the superior version, and it is a lot less bloated. Go and check it out. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9o_gALYsFPQd1zQcApPskLkkhZQRPH07&si=ESeXYOL_KzL3lOIT

some personal faves

i love going on subs and rambling about personal picks and seeing what others like froman artist so here goes:) While theres some heavier and also poppier songs that i love I ultimately turn to them for their much mellow and darker sound, including -All Cats Are Grey: the simple drum intro and the soft synths really tickle my fancy every time, especially in the Marie Antoinette film’s ending! -Faith: the drum tap-off followed by that iconic guitar line, topping off what’s possibly one of their top 2 albums! -Untitled: my personal fave off Disintegration, it actually kinda lightens the mood of the album but still something to make me just sit and think and enjoy another excellent guitar part -Bare: Im always finding new Cure songs and had discovered this Wild Mood Swings gem after ending things with someone I’d grown fond of & that guitar with piano just really add to my sadness, doubling the punch from the lyrics

if u know any deepcuts or rarities or general songs that fit this broad vibe lmk! i’d love to hear:)

Not happy with Troxy merch

Just look at the size difference between the print on the T shirt vs. the hoodie. Why would they do this??? I paid twice as much for the hoodie. 🤬

Did White Town sample Pictures of You?

I've always thought the guitar riff in Your Woman by White Town might be a distorted sample from Pictures of You, but I can't see any reference to it online.

What do you all think? Am I imagining things?

The first appearance of the riff in Your Woman is at 00.53.
