Vinyl for me. The jokes do become a little wearing after the first ten years however .

Fly Me to the Moon. Anyone know the song’s correct title without Googling?

“In Other Words”?

[PAR (Pete)]

Full marks. I was fist asked the question at a meeting by someone trying to establish my music knowledge credentials. He was also keen on letting us know about his private plane. I was thinking “ I came by bus” .

Erno, in case you didn’t know, along with that album, there was an accompanying DVD, which includes videos of the acoustics tracks!

The Cure posted those vids on YouTube a year ago. You can watch them here;

Enjoy

DVD Easter eggs, now that’s a throwback!

Saw the Cure on tv recently performing live on the Dutch Pinkpop festival, it was amazing. Robert Smith’s voice is as good as it ever was at 67 now. The Cure as a band was formed in my birthyear 1976.

RY X (aka Ry Cuming) “Live from the Royal Albert Hall”. Spectacular album, especially if one’s into atmospheric and somewhat melancholic tracks.

Up on Qobuz in 24/44.1
