have i mentioned how much I ADORE  
the cure?

and not in the standard emo-teenage kid-going-through-a-tough-time-at-home-and-wants-to-slit-his-wrists type of adoration. 

the cure is yes, very dark, goth-rock music. 

yes, lead singer Robert Smith does resemble Edward Scissorhands (but is just as sexy as Johnny Depp). 

however, i think that Smith has one of the best/sexiest/gimme more/major talented voices i've ever heard. the band's version of "Love Song" is far better than 311's, and "A Forest" gives me serious heart palpitations. 

also, the fact that this band has carved it's own music genre amidst the oh-so-trendy punk rock and new wave movements back in the late '70's and early 80's and is STILL thumping the air waves is even more reason to give the Cure mad props and respect. 

may i present...

top 10 Cure songs by far

(and in no particular order because i LUVVRRR them all):

1. Seventeen Seconds

 2. Perfect Girl

3. Only One

4. Love Song

5. A Forest

6. Just Like Heaven

7. It's Friday I'm in Love

8. Close to Me

9. Why Can't I be You?

10. Pictures of You

so...turn off your cellular devices, close the blinds, lock the doors, and give yourself some SERIOUSLY dedicated time in order to honor the listening pleasure of one of the greatest bands to ever cross over the Atlantic to the shores of the United States. 

dead leaves and the dirty ground

soooo....2 blogs in 1 day. yikes. i might be getting addicted to this. 

anyway.

i'm wrapping up another mundane day at the office, and to my delight what delicious sound should spring from xm radio? 

the haunting, psychedelic, scrumdiddlyumptious

meg and jack white of The White Stripes

 for those of you who love this band, you should also check out Jack White's latest side project known as Dead Weather. This band consists of Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Dean Fertitia (Queens of the Stone Age), Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs), and of course, Jack White. it's a similar sound to the white stripes, but just a splash more rock n' roll added to it. 

i die.
