Can anyone really sing 'Mint Car' or 'Cut Here'? This seems another one of those 'not quite hitting the mark' ones to me.

Either long shots of Robert Smith, or close-ups of his face. Good ol' Rob isn't as svelte as he used to be. But hey, more power to him...he's still thinner than me.

When they were great, no one did doomy-but-you-can-dance-to-it like Smith & co.

I thought he only had two: the 3 minute breezy pop confections that all 'true' Cure fans sneer at, or the 9+ minute tuneless doomy dirges that send all the casual listeners running the other way?

Also Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of course, she was no longer the babysitter when I started running around singing "touchatouchatoucha me...I wanna be dirty"

Anyhoo. I still love them. It takes me back to a simpler time.

BUT, I could definitely see skipping around my place to this while making breakfast.

Dick Laurent is dead.

*I just wanna dance!*

It's definitely on point musically, but I think Robert Smith's voice is starting to wear on me. Maybe it's just these poor computer speakers, though.

I could swear my hair teased itself out just listening to it.

It was a fine, fine show. 65daysofstatic was the opener, and I enjoyed them immensely.
