Well, you knew this was coming
- rumors of the new album being delayed until 2007 are now
officially confirmed by Universal Spain and HispaCure:
"I have just received the e-mail below from
Hispacure (the Spanish Cure fan club) which, if true, contains
some rather disappointing news. It says that Universal Music
Spain has confirmed to HispaCure in a world exclusive that The Cure's
new album (announced by Robert Smith and various specialised media
for Halloween 2006) has been delayed until next year.

del nuevo disco de The Cure !!

Universal Music Spain ha confirmado a hispaCure
en exclusiva mundial que el nuevo disco de The Cure (anunciado
por Robert smith y diferentes medios especializados para halloween
de 2006), ha sido retrasado para el próximo año
2007.
hispaCure puede adelantar que el lanzamiento
del nuevo disco está previsto para el primer trimestre
de 2007.
Así que manteneros atentos a hispaBlog
y a nuestro foro oficial porque pronto tendremos nuevas noticias
al respecto. Esperamos que nos deis
vuestra opinión sobre esta noticia en
el post habilitado para la ocasión en nuestro foro oficial:
Por otra parte hemos habilitado en el foro un
post dedicado a todos los posibles lanzamientos que en los últimos
meses han ido aparecido fruto de
declaraciones de Robert Smith previstos para
2007. Esperamos tu opinión aquí:
Steve Severin has posted
an explanation in his forum about the controversy over Robert's
vocals on the 'Blue Sunshine' bonus disc:
"All the vocals on
CD2 are from 1983. I admit it is a bit confusing calling them
"RS vocal demo" but this is how it worked.....
All the Glove tracks were written in the studio
(bar PMWK) so the music you hear isn't a demo per se, it's a
rough mix of the final thing. Lyrics were written at different
times in the procedings so whenever they were, Robert would do a
"guide vocal'. That explains why some tracks are more developed than
others. For instance, I hadn't written the bass parts for "LAA" when
RS did the guide but the strings had been put on ORGY before he sang.
Does that make sense?
We could only find these versions on cassette
and Robert did some extensive "soundsoap" work on them going
as far as stripping out the vocal, treating it and adding it back
in. We've obviously done a good job because so many people think
it's all new!
Whateverrrrrrrrrrrr.............it's 16 new
tracks....you would think most fans would be leaping for joy,
wouldn't you?"
Don't think I've posted this
before - the official website of Suretone Records, The Cure's new
label/imprint/whatever. If you don't know what this Suretone
thing is all about, please see the March 27th update in the

"I stumbled across
this site (ugo.com) looking at something else, but came across
this article about the top 11 happiest songs ever made. The
Cure was the last band I thought I'd
see on that list.
As one of the high points of The Cure's concept
album, Wild Mood Swings, "Mint Car" truly is on the overly
enthusiastic side of the spectrum. And
talk about happy: "Sun is up, so happy I could
burst," Robert Smith declares. "Yeah, you went through me head
first." Ooookayyy. That just
sounds painful. But whatever makes you happy,
and if Smith's exuberance as exemplified in the cheerful delivery
of the (admittedly nonsensical)
lyrics is any indication, this is the real
thing - it's not hard to believe The Cure really was happy writing
and recording this song. And if this song has the power to cheer
The Cure up, then for crying out loud, it should certainly work for
everyone else."

August 17th
Roger signs 3 record deal with
Great Society/World's Fair (distribution & support through Warner Brothers),
releases 'The Truth In Me' on Oct. 24th, 2006, and announces plans for an
autumn tour:
ROGER O’DONNELL
THE TRUTH IN ME
Roger O’Donnell, long known as the man behind
the keys for legendary bands like the Cure and earlier for
The Psychedelic Furs, steps out on his own with his beautiful
new album The Truth in Me. A collection of songs composed
and recorded using a single instrument, the Moog Voyager.
An instrument with it’s own cult following, the Moog is generally not
known for the very warm and undeniably human sounds that become immediately
apparent upon listening to this fascinating work.
Always an artist of unique vision, Roger
O’Donnell’s playing and songwriting can be found on era defining
hits such as the Cure’s Disintegration and he has performed on
some of the biggest tours and festivals all over the world including
Coachella. His contributions have always had an amazing
influence on the bands he played and wrote with. Following
the inclusion of his song “Another Year Away” on the soundtrack
for the Moog Documentary, Roger was encouraged by one of the
film’s producers to do an entire album orchestrated with a Moog
Voyager. Since Roger had enjoyed working with the Voyager
on the soundtrack, the idea appealed to him: “My initial idea (for
the soundtrack) was to try and write a song and record it using only
a Moog and that’s what happened. I knew from my early days that I could
orchestrate using mono analogue synths so in a way I was revisiting
my roots.”
“Definitely not a concept album, more
of an album concept, it is a simpler way of composing using
limited instrumentation where the emotion comes from each individual
note. Consciously un-compromised or commercial, it’s a mainly
instrumental journey through my musical influences and where I
am now (vocalist Erin Lang sings 3 songs). I was also inspired
by Bjork’s use of a single instrument, the voice, on her record
Medulla. I found the Voyager really easy to work with and thought
that maybe I had found my own voice and could do something that
was entirely original. Finally, music that I am satisfied with
and that satisfies me, The Truth In Me says what I have been trying
to say for a long time.”
The Truth In Me has inspired a number of
musicians to join Roger in his exploration. Remixes have
already been done of a number of the album’s tracks by such luminaries
as Jimmy Tamborello of The Postal Service/Dntel/Figurine, Kieran
Hebden of FourTet, The Notwist/Console, and Jimmy LaValle of The
Album Leaf.
Roger O’Donnell will be touring the US through
the Fall of ’06 and beyond with an appearance at this years
CMJ festival in New York.
“…a collection of songs that shows the sensuous
and moody side of the Voyager.” Electronic Musician
Managers for The Flaming Lips, Devendra
Banhart, and Owner of Definitive Jux Establish New Record
Label
First signing is former member of The Cure,
Roger O'Donnell, debut release Oct. 24th '06
(New York, NY) Two years after merging their
collective years of experience as artist and label managers,
the founders of World’s Fair have announced the creation of a
new label, Great Society.
Scott Booker is the long time manager of
the wildly successful Flaming Lips. More recently, he
has also served as manager for Elliot Smith and indie rock darlings
British Sea Power. "World's Fair puts us in a great position to
discover new talent from all over the world - we look forward to our
newest challenge.” said Mr. Booker when asked to comment on this new
endeavor. Kevin Wortis, once known as the manager of seminal art rockers
The Swans, also served as general manager for Play It Again Sam’s US
operations. He has been manager for Devendra Banhart for the last
several years where he has seen that artist rise from relative obscurity
to critical touchstone. Amaechi Uzoigwe co-founded legendary record
label Definitive Jux Records in 2000 with partner El-P and quickly rose
to the top of independent hip hop with releases from El-P, RJD2, Cannibal
Ox, Aesop Rock and Mr. Lif. He also manages Beans, Pela, Mike
Ladd, The Gray Kid and Vic Thrill, and previously managed alt-urban stalwarts
Company Flow, Anti Pop Consortium and Saul Williams. “Great Society
represents an incredible opportunity for us to release high quality music
regardless of genre or style,” says Uzoigwe. “We look forward to
building a home for uniquely talented artists and introducing their music
to the world.”
Great Society will operate as part of The
World’s Fair Label Group. Since it’s inception The
World’s Fair Label Group has established itself as a respected
home to some of the finest labels from both the US and UK including
Bella Union, BBE, Wichita and Def Jux. The company has overseen
the marketing, distribution and management for successful releases
such as RJD2 Since We Last Spoke, The Cribs The New Fellas, Morcheeba
The Antidote and Dr. Octagon The Return of Dr. Octagon. The company
is currently seeing great success with Midlake’s The Trials of Van Occupanther.
With this kind of experience and triumph
bound with true musical exploration at it’s foundation, Great
Society is set to become one of the most interesting and successful
labels to emerge in a very long time. As if to prove the
point, the label’s debut will be the unlikely solo release by Roger
O’Donnell The Truth In Me.
The Truth In Me sees O’Donnell step out
from playing his signature keyboard lines in the iconic and
legendary group The Cure, to composing and recording his first
solo release entirely on a Moog Voyager. The MiniMoog Voyager
has a large cult of fanatic devotees and has been used to make
many of the more fascinating sounds and records released since
the instrument’s introduction in the early seventies. Primarily
recognized as a machine used to make “space-age” type sounds, Roger’s
work has brought a unique and intriguing warmth to the instrument.
A work of true passion and actual craftsmanship, The Truth In Me is
a surprisingly fresh and ultimately groundbreaking piece of work.
Kevin Wortis explains, “Roger's record is just a perfect piece of music.
It’s perfect exactly the way it is. It makes me do a double take every
time I hear it. I catch myself saying "what's that beautiful sound" even
though I've now played it 100 times. It’s so carefully crafted, it’s thoughtful
and effortless at the same time. I'm just very proud to be involved with
Roger and honored to be trusted with his work.” Street date is set
for October 24th, 2006 with a national tour to follow. Roger O’Donnell
has seen a storied career already having been the long time keyboard player
of the Cure and co-authoring many of that band’s biggest hits.
The first of many releases to come, expect
the unexpected from Great Society.
Congratulations
again Roger!

"I was reading this (http://www.mp3.com/stories/3063.html%0D%0D%CA)
interview with the band "She Wants Revenge" ( seems
to be pretty known in the U.S., but here in Belgium, i think
almost nobody heard of 'em, i just happened to see one of their videoclips
last night, which b.t.w. was pretty ironically, minding the "copy/paste"
controversy around the band, programmed just before an Interpol
video ), when reading this:
*Chris: I hear a bit of Simon Gallup's bass
lines and Bernard Sumner's riffs, and the vocals call to
mind the Psychedelic Furs...
*Justin Warfield: Right. I mean, you nailed
three serious influences on both of us. [...] New Order and
the Cure and the Smiths and the
Psychedelic Furs were all really important
bands, and the crossover between what the new wave and the
hip-hop scenes were doing with punk rockers, [along with] the influx
of disco from Studio 54 and what was happening in New York at that
time, [as well as] collaborations like when Blondie did "Rapture"
and when the Rolling Stones did ["Miss You"]...is also an influence
on what we do. [...] Like, we learned our ideas about songwriting as
we were kids, hearing albums like /Purple Rain/ or Disintegration
or /The Queen is Dead/, you know, and all of the New Order songs and all
of that
stuff. [...] "
A bit further, when asked if they would
be prepared for the potential succes of the album, one of
'em answers that they hope [...blablabla...] if they make honest
music [...blablabla...] "perhaps there would be others that would
feel the same way. And we knew that we would have people that would
identify [with] it. The only variable was the number of people, but
we didn't really care because as long as we had a core audience of
people, kids perhaps now could hear this album and it could be their
/Purple Rain/ or it could be their /Disintegration/ or their /Queen
is Dead/. That was the goal, whether it was 10 kids or 10,000 kids."
When looking up some reviews of their first
album, The Cure pops up as an "influence"/"copy/pasted item"
pretty often."

Here are the lyrics (possibly
a few mistakes) for the three unreleased songs from
'The Cure' sessions:
A BOY I NEVER KNEW
To have his arms around me, to sense
his perfect trust
I’d give everything I have…everything…
I’d love to see him sleep, I’d love
to know his dreams.
To hold his hand in mine and listen
to him breathe.
To watch him as he wakes, look into
his eyes
I’d give all I ever had for a moment
of his life.
He’s my heart and my soul.
He’s my blood and my bones.
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago, so long ago…
I’d love to hear him laugh, I’d love
to catch him smile.
To join him so close, to feel him by
my side.
To have his arms around me, sense his
perfect trust
I’d give everything I have for a moment
of his love.
He’s my heart and my soul.
He’s my blood and my bones.
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago,…
He’s my heart and my soul.
He’s my blood and my bones.
He’s my wishes and dreams
My prayers and my hopes
A boy I never knew
And the man I’ll never know.
I’ll never know…
To watch him as he wakes, look into
his eyes
I’d give all I ever had…
Note - This
is what Robert had to say about this song in an interview
with Italian magazine Rockstar (Aug. 2004):
"I wrote many
sad songs for this album and Ross is sorry I did not include
them. He believes they're the best of them all. One is the
saddest I've ever written. It's called "The boy I never knew".
I played it to everyone who came to the studio, and everyone broke
in to tears. Too much for me. I didn't feel like releasing it now,
but someday I will."
PLEASE COME HOME
I look out the window watching
the world go round.
I wonder where you are now. I
wish you were here now.
Waiting at the window I watch
the rain come down.
Wondering what to do now. Wishing
you were here now.
I don’t understand why you couldn’t
stay.
I don’t understand why you went
away.
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t
say.
I only know I need you now to…
Please, come back to me.
Please, come home.
Please, come back to me.
Don’t leave me here alone.
Knocked down here on my own…
I watch out the window whispering
hopeless words.
I won’t let you go now. I want
you here now.
Watching out the window, whisper
a helpless world.
Pulling me back now. Wanting
you here now.
I don’t understand why you couldn’t
stay.
I don’t understand why you went
away.
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t
say.
I only know I need you now to…
Please, come back to me.
Please, come home.
Please, come back to me.
Don’t leave me here alone.
Don’t leave me on my own.
Don’t leave me here alone.
Knocked down here on my own…
Still I wait at the window watching
the world go round.
I wonder where you are now.
Please, come home…
STRUM
It will be so perfect, I said.
Too beautiful for words.
It will be…so perfect I said.
My words are stupid, worthless,
merely so much noise
I want to cover up the wall
Good things really never run
the first time through
Adapted for our latest ploy
A pantomime of feeling good…good…good!
And waving as the smile just
sits
But really I have never cared
less in my life
To ever smile again.
I sit before the mirror white
and draw my red eyes black.
My head is full of everyone you
ever knew
Reflected, tired and cracked.
My act is empty, hopeless only
so much luck
A show to cover up the stage
All this strewn to satisfy another
you in
Acting out this tired charade.
A pantomime of feeling good…good…good…good…gooooood!
Drowning as the smile drips down.
But really I have never cared
less in my life
Whatever turns around.
I sit before the mirror cold
and paint my black mouth red.
Your head is full of everyone
I ever knew
Reflected, old and dead.
It will still be perfect, you
said. Too beautiful for words.
It will still…be perfect…
And
please understand that these songs ARE NOT from the new
album or single. The band recorded 20 tracks for the 2004 'The
Cure' album - 15 found their way to various versions of the album,
2 were used for b-sides and these are the remaining 3 that didn't
make it out at the time. And that doesn't even get into all of the
instrumental demos that have never been officially released. So if the
rumored deluxe edition of 'The Cure' ever comes out, they have more
than enough to fill an extras disc.
For all of you histrionic white
kids, here's a
scan from the new issue of Blender magazine. This was run in connection
with their 25 Biggest Wussies Ever list, which you can read more about under
the July 24th update.

August 5th
And all that could have been...in
so many different ways....
"Wanted
to give you some info on the 3 unreleased tracks from
the cure's 2004 album. these were not featured on any version
of the album or b-side
releases:
A Boy I Never Knew - AMAZING!
Possibly the most honest and mature song Robert has ever
written. Lonely Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Light Drums and Sparse
String Section. Reminds me of a children's lullaby (which makes sense
since he supposedly wrote it for the son he never had) Could be
compared to "going nowhere" in tone, but the simple, yet catchy tune
reminds me of something from Kiss Me. Overall the track could have
easily fit on Disintegration.
Strum - Another song that could
have lived on Disintegration (as a b-side probably) although
sonicly the track has more in common with Wish-era. The
lyrics are very clever and literate in a way that Robert hasn't
exhibited since The Top.
Please Come Home - Another
song that could have easily lived on the second side
of Disintegration. The track seems a little unfinished until
the
lead-in to the chorus. Then
it really takes off. Jason's tribal drumming, mixed with
the monolith keyboards competing with Robert's vocals really
brings me back to 1989. Sends
chills and makes you realize the slow undistinguished
build-up only sells the song more.
And there you go. Why these
tracks never made it onto the album, I have no idea. These,
plus the songs available on the vinyl release (TGB, Going
Nowhere, This Morning), easily
put the 2004 album up there with Disintegration in my
opinion. My favorite band of all time has not lost one ounce
of talent or focus over the last 15 years- they've just made
a few bad choices in terms of song selections for their albums.
Maybe they'll follow their hearts on the next one...."

More on the Porl Signature
Guitar from the new issue of Play magazine:
"There
is an interview with Michael Ciravolo, President of
Schecter, in issue 38 (Jul/Aug) of Play magazine. (a
free magazine for musicians, from Soundcontrol - "The UK's number
one musical instrument retailer" - I'm quoting/stealing
from there article, so leave the official plug in please).
The Cure/Robert/Porl pop
up as a subject:
Play: "You have many artists
using the Diamond Series but currently you only have
one signature artist, Robert Smith, with his UltraCURE electric
and RS-1000 accoustic. Why?"
M.C.: "If you look back we
had at one point six signature guitars like a Jerry
Horton, a Tommy Lee model and stuff - they're still our
friends and still play our guitars. We might do some
more next year. We're talking with the guys in Avenged
Sevenfold and Jeff Loomis from Nevermore. As guitar playing
seems to be getting back to technique and proficient playing
it seems like it might have more relevance for us to do it now.
The Robert Smith thing is
different. We're huge Cure fans. To have
Robert - who's never endorsed anything - wanting to design a
guitar with us was just, cool! To see a band that I grew
up with and respect, and to design a guitar with him, and then
see him play their entire catalogue with it was a really cool
thing.
We're also working with Porl
Thompson who's back in the Cure. He played with
them during their nineties heyday but left the band to go
and play
with Page and Plant.
But he's a brilliant guitar player and he's using a
Corsair. We're working with him on a signature model.
He's got a UK street tattoo artist, Kev Grey, designing a
graphic - it'll be a pretty wild looking Corsair".
