"This
book (I Hate Myself and Want to Die: The 52 Most Depressing
Songs You've Ever Heard) has a chapter on “Last Dance” that is hilarious."
(Thanks Tom)
"I don’t know if this has been “spotted”, but I
was watching “three dollars” on dvd last night (a quite good Australian
movie, by the way) and, while telling the story of the two main characters,
a flashback into the early 80’s shows them in college, very into joy
division and other bands. On a table, a bag (apparently belonging to
one of them, or to a friend) has “THE CURE” written all over it. The camera
actually films it rather closely for some seconds. I don’t know if the
director is also a Cure fan, but it surely is interesting how that particular
plan was chosen.
(Thanks Miguel)
"The intro to Close to
Me was played in the movie Accepted, in the dorm room scene. Just
a bit but still cool."

"as i was eating my breakfast
this afternoon ( yeah, shame on me, i know), i was listening to
a radio show called "De Tekstbaronnen" on dutch
radio station Radio 1... or 2, i don't know exactly
( shame on me bis ). Anyway, i was still quite sleepy, sipping
a nice mok of coffe, as the intro to Killing An Arab kicked in and
woke me right up with surprise! The question, as you might have
guessed already, was from which band this was the debut single. The
guys that had to answer first ( the show is about 2 groups of 2 people
competing each other by answering questions correctly ( yes yes...
) and trying to get the highest score (well well, what a surprise...
) ) were hesitating between The Sex Pistols and The Cure, as one of
'em said something in the lines of "naaaa, it can't be The Cure, 'cause
their singer actually 'sings'...". You could hear the crowd laughing,
so i bet they knew better them him. Anyway, as he heard the right answer,
he jokingly replied "oh, so he learned to sing afterwards?". "
(Thanks Laurent)
"22nd August 2006
I was watching Rove Live, when they went to a commercial
break. When the show returned, they were playing a clip of the
band Kisschasy singing
their song "The Do Do's and The Yeah Yeah's". Rove
started singing in this ridiculous voice along with the song, and
said "I was using my singing voice in the commercial break".
Michelle (Williams?) was sitting across from Rove.
She laughed, saying "sounds like Robert Smith from The Cure!" Rove
laughed and did the voice again... I think he may have been singing
a Cure song? You couldn't understand/hear very well. He didn't sound
anything like Robert, either."

"Minnesota Public Radio
had a story on the Nike shoes that plug into your IPOD.
They played two examples of the shoes turning down the music to
provide the runner with current running stats.
In the first example the IPOD was playing Lovesong."
