Rock 'n Roll 'n Lipstick??
Please share with me the source for your Cure collection title. I'm a Cure fan and am at a loss to decifer GNATTEE.
The Cure couldn't have come at a better time. You know how sometimes there are artists who you just crave in the midst of a Blitz - artists who could almost (but not quite) break a Blitz for you? That's what The Cure has been for me in the last few weeks. I've been passing through a very retro-Jer phase lately where I've been hankering huge for a lot of old high-school CDs. The Cure's been at the top of the list. See also: The Smiths and/or Morrissey. I don't know why. I'm just coming into that cycle right now. Maybe I'll grow my hair.
At any rate, hitting The Cure, even only one CD, was timed perfectly. With the sun coming down and some classic Cure tunes coming on, I was really feeling this Blitz tonight.
An observation: it was just now, for the first time, that I realized that Close To Me is, in a lot of ways that I don't care to try and articulate, the sister song to Prince's Kiss. Listen to them together some day (when you finish the Blitzeroo in 2010) and tell me if you don't agree. They don't share the falsetto. Close To Me has that very prominent bass and the handclaps that are missing from Kiss. But still, I was struck listening to Close To Me tonight that they must've been teleported from the same dimension...
