Doing the Unstuck
Dec. 1st, 2009 09:23 pmAlmost a perfect day? Ha ha
Been a lazy day where the most energetic thing I did was the washing up..
Close to Me
Mar. 28th, 2009 10:53 amKevin mentioned the Lady Sovereign appropriation of Close to Me called So Human, which used the tune, and throws out most of the words (some are still there)!
Kevin absolutely hates it as it offends his "Gothic Sensibilities". However there are stranger versions, like The Dismemberment Plan, acoustic ukulele (what is it with Cure songs and ukuleles?), and Inflow. Then again, the above isn't really a cover version is it? It's my like a recycled media thing, so I'm adding a new tag).
Know of any other examples of recycled media?
Cure Covers
Sep. 17th, 2008 10:29 pm
I'd just finished ready a recent issue of JMag which had a The Cure theme to it. They mentioned cover bands so I thought I'd check out youtube to see what there was there.
A search of "The Cure" +covers brings up a whole slew of entries ranging from amateur to well known bands (including Robert Smith doing a cover of a Lennon song). One of the most popular songs to cover is Just like Heaven which has no less than 417 results! Covers of A Forest comes in at 121 entries, In Between Days only has 53 entries, and Love Cats at 40.
There's a lot of varied cover stuff about, from AFI - Just Like Heaven by AFI, Scarlett Johansson - Boys Don't Cry, Tricky - Love Cats and Editors - Lullaby. There's some absolutely dreadful versions too, like this one, though I like it when the cover version includes Robert Smith!
Here's two favourites:
Lovesong on Ukulele
Just Like Heaven by Dinosaur Jr.

ABC2 are currently show THE CURE in concert, so this is the perfect time to start working on my proposal! 
Fight Lyrics
Feb. 9th, 2008 04:46 pmHow I feel just now.
FIGHT - The Cure
Sometimes there's nothing to feel
sometimes there's nothing to hold
sometimes there's no time to run away
sometimes you just feel so old
the times it hurts when you cry
the times it hurts just to breathe
and then it seems like there's no-one left
and all you want is to sleep
fight fight fight
just push it away
fight fight fight
just push it until it breaks
fight fight fight
don't cry at the pain
fight fight fight
or watch yourself burn again
fight fight fight
don't howl like a dog
fight fight
just fill up the sky
fight fight fight
fight til you drop
fight fight fight
and never never
never stop
fight fight fight
fight fight fight
so when the hurting starts
and when the nightmares begin
remember
you can fill up the sky
you don't have to give in
you don't have to give in
never give in
never give in
never give in
