Also can we talk for a second about how Robert is 60 and still sounds like he did on this album?

The "Disintegration" in this Disintegration >>> the "Disintegration" in the Trilogy Disintegration.

Haven’t listened to the album yet but what a treat to hear these b sides played. I don’t think it worked so well live but still, never thought I’d ever hear them play Fear of Ghosts. Babble otoh kicked ass live. They should add it to their regular live set rotation.

(after a short youtube link following trail) btw, I didn't know about the alternative lyrics to A Forest in 1979 + the energy!

the energy!
Whenever I see clips like that I just think "the drugs!"

I spent a lovely evening chatting with Reeves Gabrels' wife via Twitter DM last night and got confirmation that Robert uses a bunch of vocal technique to keep his voice intact
― Arugula Raccoon (DJP), Friday, 31 May 2019 13:16 (five years ago) link
he sounded wonderful on that livestream
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 31 May 2019 14:10 (five years ago) link
also, i may be misremembering this, but that performance of disintegration seemed v deeply felt and even slightly... energetic? compared to my old trilogy dvd

I didn't know about the alternative lyrics to A Forest in 1979
In the early years their lyrics could be in flux even from night to night as they wrote songs onstage (and even occasionally after recording: Seventeen Seconds' song Three spent years in the set after turning into Forever with improvised lyrics)

Last thing I expected was a new interview with Boris Williams but it's great. I'm not sure I've ever heard him talk at length before, he sounds lovely and very chilled:

Some very interesting (YMMV) insights into his time in the band, including (too briefly) why he left and how he feels about seeing the band play without him.

No, I just thought there had been some discussion a few years ago about a documentary, with Tim sorting through all sorts of archival stuff. But nothing in the trailer seems to indicate that.

Wonder if they have a recording of the Mexico City show from 2013 where they played like 50 songs?
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Monday, 17 June 2019 16:21 (five years ago) link
Dunno, not really excited about that concert film either. Setlist was pretty bland and the setting too. I don’t really see the point of this (Reflections or the Disintegration show would maybe have been more interesting)

bring the Wish deluxe edition!

maybe they did a set in the rain at Red Rocks at some point they could release

I was just listening to Wish, streaming it, and noticed it was branded "explicit." I assume that means profanity, but I'm trying to remember where on the album there's any profanity.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 21 June 2019 19:43 (five years ago) link
the end of Wendy Time has a "fuck" in it
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Friday, 21 June 2019 19:44 (five years ago) link
Huh, so it does! Is there much or really for that matter any profanity in the rest of the Cure catalog?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 21 June 2019 19:53 (five years ago) link
Get your fucking voice out of my head
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 21 June 2019 19:59 (five years ago) link
The Kiss has a "fuck" in it, but I can't think of any others offhand. In Wendy Time he's kinda self-censoring by swallowing most of the word!

Interviewed Tim Pope the other day about the forthcoming concert film -- great chat, and the film's excellent. Story should run next week.
In the meantime, enjoy yesterday's Glastonbury set:

Saw it last night on the telly. They're truly on form again. A delight to see Robert Smith enjoying himself as much as he did, quirky dance moves and all.

Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett chats with Pope about his forthcoming Cure concert film Anniversary as well as more unusual anecdotes about his many music videos for them than you can shake a stick at. Or is that a sock?

And indeed, that is me. Fantastic chat, could have gone on for so much longer but I had to squeeze it in between several things on my schedule.

I also misread it that way and thought "the pope" was a terrible new nickname for Robert Smith.
