Robert says "PLEASE DONT BUY HYPNAGOGIC STATES EP FROM ITUNES"

Posted on 14 September 2008

This message was posted by Robert Smith on The Cure website and MySpace page earlier today!

"IT IS ABSURD! TMU HAS MANAGED TO FUCK THIS UP TO ANOTHER LEVEL! MY EMAIL TO THEM TODAY IS BELOW ITS EASIER THAN WRITING IT OUT AGAIN NICELY... (THOSE OFFENDED BY COLOURFUL LANGUAGE LOOK AWAY NOW)

DEAR...
I FUCKING DESPAIR AGAIN, HYPNAGOGIC STATES EP IS NOW UP ON UK ITUNES... 5 TRACKS FOR £7. 99?
FOR FUCKS SAKE! AND THE PACKAGE IS COMPLETEY MISSING THE EXTRA BONUS TRACK (65DOS ALT REMIX OF "THE ONLY ONE") SO YOU CAN BUY THE FOUR REMIXES BY 30STM/AFI/MCR/FOB INDIVIDUALLY FOR 79P EACH...

BUT YOU ONLY GET THE 65DOS "EXPLODING HEAD SYNDROME" REMIX OF ALL FOUR SINGLES IF YOU PAY £7.99 FOR "THE ALBUM"... IE YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO PAY £4.83 FOR THE 65DOS REMIX... !!! WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO PAY THIS AND NOT FEEL TOTALLY RIPPED OFF? IT'S NOT A FUCKING ALBUM! IT'S A 5 TRACK EP AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GET AN EXTRA FREE TRACK (THE 65DOS REMIX OF "THE ONLY ONE") IF YOU BUY IT AS A 5 TRACK EP AND ITS SUPPOSED TO COST LESS IF YOU BUY IT AS A 5 TRACK EP THAN IF YOU BUY THE 5 TRACKS INDIVIDUALLY... THAT IS WHAT WAS AGREED, THIS IS SO TOTALLY WRONG, I REALLY DO FUCKING DESPAIR, WHY IS IT SO INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO GET ANYTHING DONE RIGHT? PLEASE FIX THIS NOW.

I AM POSTING THIS AS I FEEL, UPSET! ANYWAY, PLEASE ONLY BUY THIS 5 TRACK EP FROM ITUNES WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE FOR AROUND £4.00 OR LESS AND YOU GET THE FREE 65DOS T.O.O REMIX - IT'S FAB AND THE MONEY (WELL - OUR SHARE OF IT!) IS GOING TO A GOOD CAUSE..., THIS GOES FOR ANY OTHER ITUNES STORES AROUND THE WORLD, LIKE JAPAN...

ONWARDS...
RSX "


Does anybody know why he always posts in CAPS??!

The Cure - NEW ALBUM & SINGLES RELEASE!

Posted on 1 May 2008

New Single by The Cure

The Cure plan to release four A & B side singles, one each month starting May 13th, leading up to the release of their thirteenth studio album, as yet untitled, which will be out on Suretone/Geffen Records September 13th. It will be the band's first album of new music since 2004’s self titled album The Cure.

Why the 13th of each month? The forthcoming album is The Cure’s thirteenth studio album... A lucky number indeed!

First single “The Only One” (released May 13th) includes the b-side “NY Trip”;

Second single “Freakshow” (released June 13th) includes the b-side "All Kinds Of Stuff"; neither b-side will appear on the album. Both tracks were produced by Robert Smith and Keith Uddin.
The new single will be available from various record stores online - including Amazon and HMV. Available on CD and Online mp3 download.

The Cure donate autographed guitar for West Memphis 3 auction

Posted on 20 December 2007

Cure Bird

The Cure will be auctioning a customised Schecter RS-1000 acoustic guitar to raise money for the defense fund of three wrongfully - imprisoned Arkansas men. Damien Echols (who is on death row), Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. - also known as the West Memphis Three (www.wm3.org) - were convicted for murdering three elementary school children in 1994. This special guitar was not only designed to lead singer and guitarist Robert Smith's specifications—maple body with spruce top, maple and rosewood neck and specially designed white pearl moon and star inlays - but it was also used in the studio by the musician this year. The guitar is signed by all four-band members - Robert, Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), and Porl Thompson (guitar); and features a unique Cure logo drawn by Thompson, who is responsible for the majority of the band's artwork down the years. It also includes a "Free the West Memphis Three" message written by Smith.
UPDATE - Congratulations - The closing bid was $6,150.00 to a lucky California resident.
