TIB is 1 of Tom Robinson's favorite albums
"The great joy of The Cure is that Robert Smith manages to combine razor-sharp musicianship, first-rate song writing and that wonderful sense of the absurd and the anarchic and the fun."

Minnie Driver covers 'Close To Me'
On a tip from @ttocsremmus, I'm watching The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight, and he & Minnie Driver are talking about The Cure quite a bit. Both saying how much they love The Cure. Minnie is talking about her upcoming covers album and will be doing her cover of 'Close To Me' tonight. Craig asks Minnie if she's ever met Robert, she says no, but Craig says he has (andhere's proof, Robert & Craig on Jukebox Jury - Thanks Aaron). Lots of really nice talk about the band and Robert. So for those of you on the west coast, tune in to The Late, Late Show tonight.
Update: The episode has been added to their website. Watch here(segment starts at the 20:00 mark). And here's video of Minnie covering it at a club in Hollywood 2 months ago.

Blame Canada!
From Reeves on Facebook: "great show in osheaga. no thanks to canadian customs inspectors who managed to destroy my main guitar by seemingly leaving it outdoors in a heavy rain storm with the case open during inspection."
Update from Reeves on Facebook: "this reverend jetstream hb guitar came thru at lollapalooza last night with flying gold sparkly colors as a last minute substitute for my main reverend rg2 guitar that canadian customs destroyed. boundless thanks to ken haas at reverend and matt k at chicago guitar exchange."

Live webcast of The Cure's set at Lollapalooza!
Lollapalooza will once again be offering live webcasts from the festival. No schedule has been released yet, and no guarantee they'll show The Cure. But let's all hope Robert gives permission to air their set. And maybe even more than the usual 1 hour rule? (Thanks @object29)
Update (07/30/13): Now confirmed. The Cure's set will bewebcast. Sunday night at 9:15 PM eastern, 8:15 PM central, 7:15 PM mountain, 6:15 PM pacific.
Update (08/01/13): The newly updated webcast schedule gives us hope for a full Cure set, not just the typical hour. They now have The Cure at 8:15, and Phoenix at 10:15. They could add someone in the middle of that, but for now, it looks good.
Note: If you saw Friday night's Nine Inch Nails webcast, you know this has the potential to be the best Cure webcast ever. The video & audio were outstanding! So was NIN. A phenomenal performance!

Next Trilogy/Reflections shows in 2014?
So they don't get lost in the Honolulu Meet & Greet topic, I'm giving them their own.
From Nando: "Robert revealed that there were plans for a Reflections-like tour focusing on The Top, The Head on the Door, and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me!"
From Darrell: "As with others, when I busted out my Reflections limited Litho, Robert said they are working out the next Reflections/Trilogy type show for next year, with The Top, Head on the Door, and Kiss Me!"
Why is the King of Secrets & Obfuscation being so chatty about these shows? And should that make us believe in them more? Or less? :)

Tickets for sale & hotel offer
Larra has 1 Sunday Lollapalooza ticket for sale at face value: $102. Email laand(at)bellsouth(dot)net.
"Unfortunately I had to sell my tix for Sunday at Lollapalooza. With our 15 month old running around the trip to Chicago just wasn't in the cards. I booked a hotel room through hotels.com at The Crowne Plaza. Non-refundable. Not sweating it, but rather than canceling I'd certainly be willing to give the room to a true Cure fan if someone wants a free, nice room within a couple miles of the gig. I imagine I would just have to change the reservation name by calling hotels.com. If anyone shows interest, let me know and I will see what I can do."

Help from Montreal?
If you're going to the Osheaga Festival and wouldn't mind helping me with the live setlist & reports (via Twitter, email, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.), please let me know. Thanks!
Olivier will be there providing live reports if at all possible, but we can always use some backup, in case batteries die or connections fail. If you can help out, please do.

Honolulu Meet & Greet
Scenes from The Cure's Meet & Greet in Honolulu, including dress signing & Robert playing a ukulele. It's very funny. And awkward. And a bit weird. And Simon steals the show. :)
Robert revealed that there were plans for a Reflections-like tour focusing on The Top, The Head on the Door, and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me! Exciting times for us Cure fans on the horizon :D"
Did you attend the Meet & Greet with The Cure in Honolulu? Would you mind sharing your experiences and photos with us? Thanks!

Fraggle Rock? No, Cave of Penises!
'Lovesong' was Music Video of the day at Chicagoist yesterday. Not really news, but I have to post it because of this: "Seriously, it looks like this video was filmed at Fraggle Rock." Oh if only! No, this was filmed in Tim Pope's Cave of Penises. :)

Honolulu preshow fan gathering
"I work at Kincaid’s in Ward Warehouse, on the corner of Ward Ave and Ala Moana Blvd. 1050 Ala Moana Blvd. We are having a gathering before the Cure show starting at 3:30pm for Happy Hour. It is a great place for Happy Hour, great drinks and food, and you can leave your car there in the garage, and walk to and from the venue in about 10 mins." (Thanks Darrell)
Update: Here's the Facebook event page for it.

Keeping an eye on Flossie
Tropical Storm Flossie is starting to become a problem for fans traveling to the Honolulu show, as Tropical Storm watches & warnings have been posted for the islands, and flights are being cancelled.
If you're traveling today, be sure to check with your airline and see what your status is, and if you can move your flight to an earlier or later time. As soon as I hear anything about the show going on or being canceled/postponed, I'll post ASAP. Good luck, safe travels, and let's all keep our fingers crossed that it all works out.
Latest update: And now an earthquake, just for fun. From the Weather Channel - "As if#Flossie weren't enough, a 3.5#earthquake struck near coast of Oahu, 19 mi E of Honolulu at 10:30am HST (54 min ago)." But in better news, the band have arrived safely in Honolulu! On with the show!
Remember how good things looked this morning? Yeah, not so much now. Have heard of 4 more flight cancellations, including Autumn's, Sarah's, and Chris'. Not good. :(
And this from Darrell in Honolulu: "And now to make things worse, the storm has shifted north, and slowed down a bit. The new track has it coming directly over US now!"
As of now, the show is still on, and the worst of the weather looks like it will be gone before the show starts. Last I heard, the band were on their way. Olivier has made it there safely, so expect hislive coverage from the show. Jay has been there for a few days, torturing me with beautiful beach photos from his balcony, so he's good. Good luck & safe travels to all fans heading there today.
Keep an eye on the National Weather Service in Honolulu andHawaii News Now for the latest on the storm. (Thanks Darrell)

Another SummerCure 2012 flashback
The Cure - 10:15 Saturday Night (Portugal July 14th, 2012)
"After all the South American frenzy and just before the next couple of shows, here's a weird one from last summer...featuring some onstage banter, happy girls dancing backstage & the relevation that the mighty Simon Gallup is human after all... ;-)"
Thanks again, George. Love these clips and the work you put into them!

Rumors of The Cure playing Big Day Out 2014
While we still wait & hope for more shows this year, especially solo shows in the US, rumors have already started for next year.The [AU] Review has them at a 90% chance of headlining the Big Day Out festival in 2014. The official announcement will be made on July 31st, so not long to wait & see if there's any validity to this one. Until then, nothing more than a rumor. (Thanks David)
