    ok so since its just me in here i'll post more Cure
    the Disintegration album is one of my favorite of all time and these two songs are masterpieces buried at the end of the album

I’ve been a fan of theirs ever since and being out on tour again after 40 years is a really great thing.”

    Interesting tidbit from Marr. In this short video, he praises Magazine's John McGeoch as a guitar God and refers to the band's 1978 song Shot By Both Sides as sounding like "a spy film" and "pure James Bond"

    By coincidence (or perhaps not), Magazine came out with a cover of a Bond theme later that same year...

    i remember my buddy and i riding our bikes to the record store
    it was the summer of 1974
    i had enough cash for one album
    lots of choices, but it ultimately came down to steely dan/pretzel logic or elton john/caribou
    then out of the corner of my eye i saw something…

    i had heard some bowie songs, but this album blew my mind
    that christmas i got pinups, ziggy stardust and david live
    my music life had changed forever … and i am eternally grateful
