We couldnā??t get closer than this!
LOVECATS!
Back in 1978 Robert Smith gathered a few friends together to start it all off and we are still celebrating his distinctive wavering singing style today. This night holds a special place for both DJ Medusa and myself, it was back in 1996 that we both started DJing together at a Cure tribute night, then we played two or three Cure songs an hour, but this Friday we will be featuring the music of Robert Smith and the Cure all night long!
5 Ā½ hours of bliss!
Friday August 12th!
LOVECATS!

No, it isn't.

Don't forget the Glove.Glove was a one-off neo-psychedelic side project consisting of the Cure's Robert Smith, Siouxsie & the Banshees' bassist Steve Severin, and vocalist Landray. They released one album in 1983, Blue Sunshine.

The night will nearly completely be composed of music from The Cure, but we are going to throw in a few tracks from The Glove and Cult Hero, and also play the songs Robert Smith did with Junkie XL and Junior Jack. We are not highlighting anything from Robert Smith's brief stint in Siouxsie And The Banshees.
Happy that we will be seeing boardies there - thanks for your requests - definitely say hi! :)
We're so excited!
Cheers
DJ Medusa.

Don't play that Junior Jack tune, it's SHIT! That song and Just Say Yes makes me feel embarrased for Robert everytime I hear it.

I actually like the Junior Jack collaboration ("Da Funk"). Not sure if we will *definitely* play it or not. We'll see.
I highly doubt we will play "Just Say Yes" (unless someone requests it). That was an awful song. ;)
OK folks I'm off to Zucchabar! Hope to see you all tonight!
Cheers

Yep! We always tend to get a (quite) late crowd at Zucchabar. Why can't they just all stay from start to finish?!
:p

Has anyone here used yourmusic before? It looks like a pretty good deal, but I'm skeptical.

i use it all the time never had a problem... just load up the queue with a bunch of greatest hits and away you go! there are also several rough trade titles available

Thanks kosmo.
