The Cure Obsesses the 13th Again

Posted by pixie | Filed under Uncategorized

I can’t help but get excited when I hear The Cure is doing something.  While I am aware their last truly great album came out in 1992 [Interestingly enough, on the same date that I met my first real boyfriend… not that my brain keeps track of such things]… it’s The Cure, and therefore, everything they do is exciting on some level.

The band will be releasing a new album on September 13th [just a year and a half after the original release date for this one — that’s encouraging, no?] But leading up to September 13th, the band will release a single every 13th. May 13th, we’ll get “The Only One” and “New York Trip.” On June 13th, we’ll get “Freakshow” and “All Kinds of Stuff.”  There is no word on what July and August’s singles will be just yet.

I’m seriously excited, because, like I said, I can’t help myself.  I know two people who like Wild Mood Swings — Heatherbat and my boyfriend.  Most people like Bloodflowers as background music, and The Cure is just kind of universally painful. But that doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t release a great album.  I’m really hoping they do.  They’re certainly due for it….
