The vinyl sound quality so much better than this vid.
And Marie Hoy & Friends version of Shivers I've always liked over all the others.

Five Star review of the Cure’s new album in The Guardian.

Back to the Marching Girls briefly. This iteration of the band released ‘Safe as Houses’ in 1987 and it was a big of a 3RRR Breakfasters Hit. Always a massive fan of the ‘wake and bake’, I used to love tuning into Chris Hatzis and Richard Neil, who were presenting at the time. I made a mixture tape, recorded ‘off air’ that I still have today. It was first rate radio.

Plus Ca Change Files:
Appeal to young men and stoke the fires of dissent. Divide and conquer is as old as the hills as a tactic and this one of dividing the population via the same method as the incel culture makes me want to vomit.

Opinion | Trump’s Bro Whispering Could Cost Democrats Too Many Young Men

Trump’s play for Generation Z men could peel enough away from the Democratic Party to transform the country’s electoral math for years to come.

It's sickening. It's evil and I am really concerned for the future.

The U.S.A. is on a precipice.

It's a Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire moment.

 

[moginie]

I'll say this here in a safe space:

I can't comprehend the evil that trump and his disgusting cohort brings to western (including us) civilisation. It's 1933 all over again and I never thought I'd have to face politicised fascism in my life, and yet I am. And in such a way that represses comments.

I hope this doesn’t need an update:

Is It Fascism? A Leading Historian Changes His Mind.

Robert Paxton thought the label was overused. But now he’s alarmed by what he sees in global politics — including Trumpism.

Just like heaven: the Cure’s 20 greatest songs – ranked!

Ahead of the release of Songs of a Lost World – their first album in 16 years – we rate the best of a band who combine light and dark like no other

www.theguardian.com

I would have included ‘Primary’ in there somewhere and ’Let’s Go to Bed’ seems another obvious omission.

I think they are the victims of sympathy votes for the track off Bloodflowers and The Cure (album). Neither track is in the same ballpark as the two you have listed - both are great.

I've been pondering this all morning. Here are three which I think could have squeezed in.





The lyrics to this song are great. And I've been guilty of the same thing.

I think you are right. That was 100% my first thought. That would be Option One - swap out 'The Last Day of Summer' and 'The End Of The World'. Option (very very distantly behind) Two is that in my view 'Pornography' is a little overrated and I would swap out 'A Strange Day' and even 'One Hundred Years' for 'Primary' and 'Let's Go To Bed'.

I tend to agree. I rate Faith and Head On The Door above Pornography.

Absolutely. Not forgetting ‘The Top’.


That early to mid 80’s Psychedelic period was a real high point for The Cure. That phase kicked off with the release of the Robert Smith / Steven Severin collaboration The Glove and their amazing album, ‘Blue Sunshine.’


Then there was my favourite Siouxsie and the Banshees record, featuring Robert Smith, ‘Hyena’.


I know I am baddonking like crazy here, but that period coincided with my own personal ‘Westbury St. Summer of Love’ and I have such an affection for the time and the music.

Here are a few of my faves from that period:












East St.Kilda’s Haight-Ashbury


San Francisco’s much hyped district.

VALE Phil Lesh.
(Grateful Dead Bassist)

I saw that sad news.

I think he is in this documentary (which is quite brilliant) when the focus shifts to San Francisco.


It is well worth watching this on YouTube.

 

[3KZ is Football]

A great piece of oratory from earlier today.

Just finished reading The Lehman Trilogy by Stefano Massini. Brilliant. Best thing I've read this year. So cleverly written and arranged. Never been a fan of rampant, venal capitalism, but this never champions it.
