After ten long years they have a new album out this year. He wrote every song and produced it his own eccentric self. It's his record but he kindly allows the others to use the band's name. haha

I believe "Songs Of A Lost World" is as good as anything The Cure has released to date, and I admit it gives me goosebumps. ...Robert Smith does indeed look much worse for the wear, and perhaps darker.

It's Smith and sensational upstart Olivia Rodrigo singing a live duet of "Friday I'm in love". And I'm in love with this version. I hope she gave him some makeup tips.

Back when it was a hit.
We covered a lot of their songs. As much as I like this song, we didn't cover it for long. Not sure why.
Perry was only 65. And, died on Christmas day. Kind of a bummer.
