< Any other Cure fans these parts?
I'm also a big fan of The Cure. Only saw them live once, though, and was late, if you can believe it.
I went through a several year phase discovering Cure and Depeche Mode favorites for having hung out with a particular female - and much bigger - fan of both in a favorite bar back in the 90s.
I was rather amazed I'd somehow not chanced upon them sooner, as I was already 30 by 1991.
Then again, I went through a rather religious period in the early 1980s, which knocked down - and set back - my "worldly" music intake considerably. By the time the likes of Nirvana and Pearl Jam broke though - had all the merciless absent-hood of the vacuum of deep space.
So to me, the 1990s felt like torrential downpours of nutritional sonic bliss.
Of course, that doesn't mean I experienced it to the Nth degree, as of course favorites vied for repeat mode.
