[kj] (OT) Sad Songs

[bongo]

mine first exposure was similar, 'in between days' on tv, i was HOOKED!
bought 'the head on the door' immediately (85 or 86?) and the tshirt with
them in colourful faces, which i wore non-stop and still have in a bag in
the shed somewhere...!

didn't mind 'disintegration' at the time, still like it alot now, but never
liked the song 'lullaby' !
around the time 'wish' came out i had given up on the cure and turned more
towards american thrash/hardcore (cryptic slaughter, dri, etc etc etc)

pissed off that i've missed the cure everytime they've toured nz tho...   =(
