JAPANESE WHISPERS AND...
5/30/2006 6:16:24 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

STUFF

JAPANESE WHISPERS IS DELETED
AS THERE SEEMED LITTLE POINT IN REMASTERING AN ALBUM THAT WASNT REALLY AN ALBUM ANYWAY
AND (AS HAS ALREADY BEEN POINTED OUT) ALL THE JW SONGS ARE AVAILABLE AS REMASTERS ON THE GREATEST HITS AND JOIN THE DOTS

AND 'OTHER' KMKMKM SONGS...

THIS WAS A DIFFICULT EXTRAS CD TO COMPILE
AS THERE WERE REALLY TWO...
ONE WITH 18 UNRELEASED AND B-SIDE INSTRUMENTAL DEMOS
AND THE DEMOS/OUT-TAKES/LIVE ONE THAT IS TO BE RELEASED

ON BALANCE I (AND THOSE I PLAYED BOTH TO) FELT THAT THE DEMOS/OUT-TAKES/LIVE ONE WAS JUST MORE INTERESTING AS AN EXTRA WITH THE KMKMKM ALBUM...

MAYBE THE OTHER ONE WILL LEAK OUT SOMETIME...

ANYWAY...
THESE NEXT REMASTERS REALLY DO SOUND FAB... PARTICULARLY THE TOP!
RSX

AND (AS HAS ALSO ALREADY BEEN POINTED OUT)
NOW ALL THE CURIOSITY TRACKS WILL BE AVAILABLE
AND
THERE WILL BE AN 'ALL THE SINGLES' COLLECTION NEXT YEAR - WITH STARING AT THE SEA TYPE LINKS INBETWEEN
AND
THERE WILL BE A LIVE DVD BOXSET
WITH ORANGE
AND SHOW
AND JAPAN(?)
AND
AND
OTHER SURPRISE STUFF

AND
A PRAYER TOUR SHOW?
HMMMM...
IF I CAN FIND THE FOOTAGE!

ONWARDS...

Singles Collection muss mal überhaupt nicht sein....Aber Live-DVD-Box? Mit "Orange" und "Show" und,und, und? Yeah!

[Kaan K.]

hat der Herr Schmidt denn kein Geld um sich ne Tastatur ohne klemmende Feststelltaste zu kaufen?

[Stefan V.]

Man sagt, dass er 1989 im Suff ein Getränk über die Tastatur geschüttet hat, dann war er so traurig und schrieb "Prayers For Rain". Und diesen Computer benutzt er noch heute.

Ob´s stimmt ist ne andere Sache...

[Kaan K.]

rofelito!

[Stefan V.]

Jaja, der drückt sich schon manchmal was ausm Kopf.
Würde viel lieber was vom Stand des neuen Albums hören, und was noch wichtiger ist: Eine HALLEN-TOUR!

[Stefan V.]

*spam*

Jetzt schon seit 2 Wochen nichts Neues mehr von Rob. Hab schon gehofft, dass England in der Vorrunde ausscheidet, damit der gute Herr das beste Cure-Album aller Zeiten hinhaut!
Ich will doch endlich nur die Tourdaten! Er meinte Okt/Nov/ Dez dicke Europa-Tour. Und trotzdem hört man nichts. Ok, das ist man gewohnt, aber ich will endlich wieder eine ausverkaufte Köpi-Arena in Oberhauen, wie 2000...Es war so geil! Oder Paris! HALLEN-TOUR!!!!
Keine Festivals, oder so....


*spam*

[Stefan V.]

ENDLICH mal was einigermaßen "offizielles" von der Plattenfirma:

...Later in the year Suretone will release Weezer's greatest hits that will feature several new tracks. On October 31st, Halloween, Suretone plans to release a new studio album by The Cure.

http://sev.prnewswire.com/entertainment ... 006-1.html

Jetzt bleibt nur noch zu hoffen, dass es wirklich so kommt.

[Stefan V.]

And all that could have been...in so many different ways....

"Wanted to give you some info on the 3 unreleased tracks from the cure's 2004 album. these were not featured on any version of the album or b-side
releases:

A Boy I Never Knew - AMAZING! Possibly the most honest and mature song Robert has ever written. Lonely Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Light Drums and Sparse String Section. Reminds me of a children's lullaby (which makes sense since he supposedly wrote it for the son he never had) Could be compared to "going nowhere" in tone, but the simple, yet catchy tune reminds me of something from Kiss Me. Overall the track could have easily fit on Disintegration.

Strum - Another song that could have lived on Disintegration (as a b-side probably) although sonicly the track has more in common with Wish-era. The lyrics are very clever and literate in a way that Robert hasn't exhibited since The Top.

Please Come Home - Another song that could have easily lived on the second side of Disintegration. The track seems a little unfinished until the
lead-in to the chorus. Then it really takes off. Jason's tribal drumming, mixed with the monolith keyboards competing with Robert's vocals really
brings me back to 1989. Sends chills and makes you realize the slow undistinguished build-up only sells the song more.

And there you go. Why these tracks never made it onto the album, I have no idea. These, plus the songs available on the vinyl release (TGB, Going
Nowhere, This Morning), easily put the 2004 album up there with Disintegration in my opinion. My favorite band of all time has not lost one ounce of talent or focus over the last 15 years- they've just made a few bad choices in terms of song selections for their albums. Maybe they'll follow their hearts on the next one...."

Zu den drei oben genannten Songs schwirren die Lyrics durch das Netz. Hab sie nicht gepostet, weil es einfach nicht die Richtigen sein konnten.

International Songwriting Competition

Also, did someone approach you to be a judge for the International Songwriting Competition? My husband thinks it's like -battle of the bands- (fake) and won't enter. What do you think?

I REALLY AM ONE OF THE JUDGES
ONE OF MANY

I HAVE ONE VOTE PER CATEGORY...

SO I CANT SWING IT BY MUCH!

Für Leute mit Digital-Empfang:

German Digital Channel EinsFestival rebroadcast the Cure Show from Munich 01/30/1984 on the following date: Saturday, 09/23/2006, 00:15 Uhr"

[Stefan V.]

The official 'Festival 2005' (not sure if that is the release title) dvd is scheduled for release on Nov. 20th (Dec. 5th in the U.S.):

"I'm forwarding you an e-mail from my friend who works (deleted - have to be careful these days), about a new Cure DVD. The message is below.

"There is a new DVD from THE CURE that will be ready for release on DEC 5th in the U.S. and shooting to make a Nov 20 date for INTL release!

This is all the information I have so far, but I will send more as it becomes available including a final track list.

SONGS FROM 9 SHOWS - A LOAD OF CURE FANS WITH MINI DV CAMERAS CUT TOGETHER WITH THE 'BIG SCREEN' FOOTAGE OF THE NIGHT!

A MUST HAVE FOR CURE FANS - A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT

In 2005 a nascent Cure trio of Robert Smith, Simon Gallup and Jason Cooper celebrated the return of former guitarist Porl Thompson with a series of nine eclectic headline festival shows across Europe (SPAIN / BELGIUM / FRANCE / GERMANY / SWITZERLAND / SICILY / HUNGARY / GREECE / TURKEY). The quartet's unique blend of passion and power proved to be a thrilling combination, and the summer set a new benchmark for Cure live highs.

Festival 2005 presents a selection of these performances captured by a mix of fans, crew and "on-the-night-big-screen cameras".

Edited by Daren Butler and mixed by Keith Uddin in collaboration with Robert Smith, this 30 song DVD is a wonderful reminder of how and why
The Cure remain one of the most vibrant bands on the planet."
