Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Listening to The Cure's "Carnage Visors"—it may be thirty years since I last played it, when it was on the b-side of the Faith cassette. Holy crap, it's total Joy Division/early New Order. Nothing to change anyone's world, but it's decent.

Airlock is an interesting piece of music, too.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 2:34pmListening to The Cure's "Carnage Visors"—it may be thirty years since I last played it, when it was on the b-side of the Faith cassette.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Similar concept to Carnage Visors. It was played before shows on the tour that supported Pornography and it can be found on the deluxe version of that LP. Worth checking out!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 5:17pmNever heard of it, but will investigate!WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 4:36pmAirlock is an interesting piece of music, too.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 2:34pmListening to The Cure's "Carnage Visors"—it may be thirty years since I last played it, when it was on the b-side of the Faith cassette.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Never been a big fan, but I always preferred their pop music to their Joy Division imitations.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
That's where I'm at. When I was a mopey teenager, I was into their goth-y stuff, but now I think "Friday I'm In Love" is the best thing they ever did.

Not as keen on this. Might have been fucking dicking around in the studio to produce it, but less so to listen to.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 5:29pmSimilar concept to Carnage Visors.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Agreed. Love Cats is another good pop tune although The Caterpillar is my favourite.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 6:17pmThat's where I'm at. When I was a mopey teenager, I was into their goth-y stuff, but now I think "Friday I'm In Love" is the best thing they ever did.
Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I don't think they ever sounded anything like Joy Division.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Don't really see an influence either. Doom laden death sound sure but they ran parallel to each other. Even their previous bands Malice/Easy Cure and Warsaw mined similar styles. I don't think either were influenced by each other.

I've been on record many times here saying Head on the Door is Peak Cure imho

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop

Hello,
The Three Johns - Volume. Solid. Odd. Collection. This is a LOT of material from a Mekons' side project. Most of it is pretty good. There are some off-beat tracks but overall more rock than typical Mekons - really worth checking out.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
The Join The Dots boxset of Cure B-sides is an outstanding pickup, BTW. They left strong material on the cutting-room floor nearly every time. Nobody would've called them out for pushing quantity-over-quality if 2, 3, 4 halcyon-era albums ended up instead getting released as double-LP's for sake of including a bunch of these cuts.
