just heard this on the radio-god I used to love the Cure

[CatIsSleepy]

reminds me of my yoof

It does (very knowingly) rip off Born To Run in that descending bit before the middle 8, Notyummy. It's got the high bells doubling the guitars in it too. [strokes chin]

Seriously I think that's a great track. Raaaarrrrrrrrr!

Things that make you go Raaaarrrrrrr!

I also think its a great track......

but then I love a bit of Springsteen! Saw playing him live in May and when he played Born to Run all the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

When and why did you retire from gothdom, retiredgoth?

Did you get a black carriage clock, or vouchers for Phaze?

thanks love them too

What was that song by The Cure that had something to do with spiders or spider webs?(well I think the single did)I had the album and some git nicked it at a house party I had years ago. I loved that record.

this one solo?

Ha! I found it!!! Yes same one CIS! I just looked on YT too! Wonderful!!!

I haven't heard this since 1995 when it was nicked by some thieving git

Got smiles all over my face now!!! like this

Ahhh! memories! when was this released? must be 20 years ago?

more or less, Disintegration was released in 89

yikes

Released 4/4/89...not a bad guess @ 20 years then!

Might have to look on ebay for it.

.....packed away my wing collar shirt, white face make up (never as good at concealing acne as I liked to believe it might be) and bullet belt in 1985.

Black carriage clock? If only. I can imagine the presentation ceremony on the dancefloor of "The Whip" as the strains of one of the more funereal efforts from Joy Division's Closer seeps from the turn table ("The Eternal", perhaps...)

...no longer would I ostentatiously read Sylvia Plath books in the corner in the (sadly misplaced) belief that this would impress suitors....

Now in my Yoof, I nearly had a date with a Goth (she said no!) But out of interest ex Goths, your bed must have been a mess with black mascara and all that all over the pillow cases and sheets? That's only just occured to me really..

hmm
black bed-linen?

Of course!

Have we done the Neph yet?

Neph.... what was that again. Field of the Nephilm???? WTF???? Gonna bug me now.

I went out with a goth called Jez from Whitby. All goths live in Whitby at some point, I understand.

Oh yes! I wnet to Whitby with DH about 4 years ago and it was swarming with them. There were loads of shops selling goth stuff...it must be like the mothership calling them home.

Great place btw.

just going back to the cure for a sec... i heard that one that goes 'whenever i'm alone with you, you make me feel like i am young again' the other day and had a bit of a moment. what's it called again?

It's Lovesong
DaDaDa linked to it further down

here it is again!
