    I got into The Cure in 4th grade, when most people around me weren't listening to anything like that-just listening to the shit on the radio.

    They've always been my favorite band and a huge influence on the music I write. I don't care for the poppy stuff too much, Just Like Heaven or Friday I'm in Love.
    But favorites are some of the darker songs on Wish, all of Pornography, Disintegration, Bloodflowers.

    I was lucky enough to see them in 2000 on their brief 5 show US club tour. Only 900 tickets went on sale in Dallas, bought at Ticketmaster the way they do the lottery thing. They called my number and like a little girl getting to see NSYNC I thought I was going to scream.

    The show was amazing. Standing 15 feet away from Robert Smith for close to three hours.

    They are on a new label now and are working on a new album with the guy who produced Korn (I think...)
    Makes me really curious what that will sound like.
    They also have a 4 disc B-Side set coming out this month of tons of songs.
