Какую машину вы водите?
What car do you drive?
Я вожу внедорожники примерно года с 1980-го. Лучшая машина, которая у меня когда-либо была - это Lada, импортированная из России в 1981 г., на кузове которой было два телефонных номера, и оба на русском. Еще у нее была самая горячая печка в мире. Я время от времени катаюсь по бездорожью, не как все, а ночью, по полям, в нетрезвом состоянии. Первую такую прогулку я совершил во время записи альбома Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me в 1986-м, умудрившись скатиться на "Ниве" со склона горы, причем в машине со мной была вся группа.
I've driven four-wheel-drive cars, since about 1980. The best car I've ever had was a Lada imported from Russia in 1981, which had two dials on it, both in Russian, and the world's hottest heater. I go off-roading occasionally, not properly, but drunkenly at night, across fields. I first did it when we were doing the Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me album in 1986 and I managed to roll the Lada down a mountainside with the whole band in it with me.

Has Robert mentioned having a Twitter? I know there's robert_j_smith, which 3,000 people have followed for some reason when the impostor is NOT TYPING IN CAPS and has a very poor grasp of English. The only other one that looks more likely is smith_robert and 2,000 are following somebody who has never updated and is only following some random bloke from Sussex but his name IS IN CAPS!!
Thoughts?

One Hundred Years
A night like this, dedicated to The Cure | Host: | Charlie Sometimes | | Type: | | | Network: | Global | | Start Time: | 21 April 2009 at 19:00 | | End Time: | 22 April 2009 at 01:00 | | Location: | The Good Ship, NW6 7JR | | Street: | 289 Kilburn High Road | | Town/City: | London, United Kingdom | | | | | Phone: | 07793614735 | | Email: | | On Tuesday 21st April 2009, The Cure's Robert Smith celebrates his 50th birthday. May marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the first Cure LP, Three Imaginary Boys, and 20 years since arguably their finest album, Disintegration, stumbled blinking into the daylight.
As lifelong fans of The Cure, we thought we'd have a party to celebrate! And so One Hundred Years - 50 plus 30 plus 20, you see - is born.
DJs including Charlie Sometimes (The Fly), One Imaginary Girl (The Luminaire), M (TheQuietus.com), All Cats DJ (Club Hell) and probably some other lovely like minds will be playing Cure tracks old and new all evening, from crackly old bootleg vinyl to shiny mp3.
Expect a wheelbarrow full of classic singles and album tracks, a fair smattering of obscurities, a-sides, b-sides, seasides, insides and outsides.
It's an "Upstairs Room" and there's plenty of space to sit and chat, stand and sway or throw your foot on the dancefloor. Don't be shy now: dance like you can't hear the beat...
Door tax: £3, free before 9pm...
NB Anyone planning on going to see The Eden House at The Luminaire, your Lumi hand stamp/ticket stub will get you into The Good Ship for a reduced price of £2 after the gig! |

| MTV's ICON |
[04 Mar 2009|10:02am] |
did anyone see that show on MTV called ICON? there was an amazing episode featuring THE CURE and all these bands (razorlight, the deftones etc. etc.) played cure songs in tribute as robert smith and the band watched. then they (THE CURE) went up and played a few songs themselves to close the show. it was AMAZING.
my question is, does anyone know if copies of that show is available, and if so where i can get it? maybe dvd or....?

| Robert Silhouettes? |
[20 Feb 2009|07:15pm] |
Once again I am making some Robert-inspired art and I need some nice full body silhouettes of him. Do any of you have or know where I can find some photos of him where his body is distinctly separated from the background and he's in an attractive standing position?
Thanks for any help you can give me. If anything good comes of it I'll post it here.
The last time I asked for help in finding the kinds of photos of Robert that I needed for my project I had a lot of very helpful responses. I ended up making this papercut.

It is that time again! The night that all Cure fans have been waiting for!
"A Further Strange Night - 50 Imaginary Years!"
On April 25 we will celebrate the 50th birthday of The Cure Frontman, Robert Smith, with a Live Concert featuring The Cure Cover Band "Cureprojct" integrating The Cure Live Band Karaoke und naturally a Party that will last until the wee hours of the morning!
Just like the previous year we will be celebrating the Sound, the Look und the Feeling that is The Cure! The music will be provided by out resident Cure experts Wilco, DJ Ørlög as well as a guest DJ.
They will delve deep into the their collections to play not only all the “Hits” but those rarities, b-sides, remixes and little gems that will get you reminising about the past but most importantly get you onto the dance floor.
Naturally, you can expect a limited edition Button for those who arrive early at, A Further Strange Night V - 50 Imaginary Years.
As always you can expect the fashions to be eyepopping and the hair to be perfectly styled!
To quote a long time Cure Party guest, “If you don’t come to these parties, you’re not a true Cure Fan“. The 25th April is clearly a date to cross on your calendar!

| Question |
[28 Jan 2009|08:43pm] |

Does anyone know if the song One Hundred Years is based on the book One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I know Robert based Killing An Arab on The Stranger by Camus, just thinking he might have penned One Hundred Years with said book in mind.

cos now they seem to be popping up everywhere!
personally, for those where its available (i will mark with a *), i recommend copy+pasting the url in your browser and watching it in "high quality".. as it improves the sound vaastly. sometimes it makes a world of difference!
( lots of vids under cut! )
HOPEFULLY we can uncross more of these off when they surface... and im trying to think positive thoughts that there are in fact more.
special lj shoutouts go to youtube users "ThatCrazyCureGirl" - "issuesmg" - "sovereignglory" -&- "caterpillargrrl" without whom i could not have made this post and without whom we couldnt imagine just how awesome it was. other people also contributed but these girls (assuming sovereign is a lady) really did their share of footage! THANK YOU!

hello fellow the cure fans :D i shall do a formal intro to myself since im really new here,and also new to livejournal.my name is Emilina and i am from Singapore.i became a fan of The Cure in 2006,so that's pretty new too.on 2006 itself,the cure came to my shores and performed but that time,i was too naive to understand the band fully.i regretted it,and hope tt they'll come one more time,i'd die for them.
so here's a youtube video from my home-grown gothic/metal band,Meza Virs.it's their performance at the Arts House here.and they did The Cure accoutic cover of Lovesong.i really love it so much...it's so melancholy.i feel sad thinking about how i wished they'd come again when i listened to it...yet,Meza Virs touched a sense of peace in me.so imptly,the cure. :))
PLEASE COMEEEE!!!!

I keep reading here and there that Robert did the voice of a one--episode character on "Courage The Cowardly Dog." I suspect that I'd know about this if it were true, but I felt that I should ask about it anyway. So... any truth in it?

and a special shout out to the pink (orange? red?) haird birthday boy... the inventor of leggings looking cool on dudes... mr simon gallup.
and because its a genius picture collection
and special bonus (cos ive not seen it before) make up times with teh cure!
(the first half had me in stitches, the second half not so much)
the following contains the quotable gems:
"are you making this up? "
"i... i know.. but where, why, but why is he part of the story anyway?"
"oh look! im shrinkin!"

[20 Nov 2008|08:11pm] |
from the NME blog :
___________
Did you ever have any bad trips while taking all that LSD to write 'Disintegration'? “No, actually, I have never had a bad trip, never. It does set you off though, you take other drugs at the wrong time at the wrong moment and it does set me off again. Some of my younger nephews and nieces say ‘Come on uncle Robert, have a bit of this’. And I'm like ‘Oh yeah, alright’ and then I’m like ‘Fuck!’ I'm sitting there an hour later and they’re going ‘Are you alright?’ ‘What?’”

In the hanging garden
Do any of you have such a photo? I'd appreciate it. :)
