@Rhino_Records@thecure the cassette version is what made me a cure fan for life. the b-sides are everything, and you referenced one of my eternal favorites!
all year, cure fans everywhere, having traced the letters with fingers and mind, intuitively heed the liner-notes call: “this music has been mixed to be played loud/so turn it up.”
BUT today demands special attention, so let's commit to play it LOUD. happy 35, disintegration!
a very happy 65th birthday to my favourite artist of all time! your musical and lyrical genius has carried me through the better part of my life, and i send all my love and gratitude your way today, as i do every day.
wishing you the most magnificent moonlit night ahead...
happy 35th to the perennially thrilling “fascination street”! can’t wait to let it coax me along the dance floor this weekend!
“and i’m begging/to drag you down with me/to kick the last nail in…yeah! i like you in that….”
Happy 35th to my favorite of the Disintegration singles. And to its b-sides Babble & Out of Mind too. Hard to believe now, but upon release, I liked Mind more than Fascination. 🤷♂️
That only lasted a week or so, and now Fascination is essential Cure for me.
Simon's bass! ❤️🤘
