Copy, Right?

Ooooh! Cure covers!
I like this stuff way too much.

Copy, Right?


"The Head on the Door" was the first Cure album I heard when it came out...
probably still my favorite.
Although, I love Three Imaginary Boys.
The Cure as surf punk.
totally right.
Kinda like the earliest Gary Numan stuff
(in that it's great, but not like anything else
they'd ever do.)
And sure I dig the dark psychedelic stuff...
Pornography, etc...
(maybe calling it psych isn't right,
but I kind of think of almost all music I like
that way...)
The cassette of "Staring at the Sea" is the one
I probably listened to the most.
Some of the b-sides were great.
What have we learned here?
I was a scary new-wave/goth wannabe?
hmmm...
yeah, and I spent too much time
listening to The Cure.
Still do.

to quote nelson muntz(points at you): HA ha!

good, you admit it. and if "A Forest" isnt psych, I dont know what is...all Robert Smith lyrics are depressing in a silly way.

Ah you bring back sweet memories of wanting to be a new wave/punk five years to late. One of those B-sides, the exploding boy, is still my favorite Cure song.
