RESQ85

@jamadrianbrown Nurses Juicy + Cleo. NBM = no bowel movements. Win!

Ooooo la, la, belly has taken a tumble. Having a wee op today to fix things up good and proper. Podcast recommendations are needed pretty please……… Nothing to worry about here, I’m from Yorkshire. We’re made of dry stone walls and proper thick gravy 💪

@Shawn_Farash @krassenstein The only thing the British pledge is our wooden furniture you gormless flagshagger.

@krassenstein They still pledge allegiance to a king and queen. We don't care what they have to say

Britains’s Jonathan Pie just completely went off on Trump’s stupidity.

@thecureverse @thecure @RobertSmith If I were in a jazz club (which has happened despite jazz not being my sort of ‘thing’) and this happened I’d be very happy. It’s an excellent version, very different with a well thought out arrangement. Plus she has a tremendous voice.

@MikeInfinitum @DaRay38 @Thomashornall Good point, Not gun point!

@DaRay38 @Thomashornall We rarely waive at strangers, but on the other hand we don’t shoot them either.

I’m British. I recently spent 10 days in the USA for business. And discovered the ocean between us isn't water. It's mindset. 7 uncomfortable truths about US v UK culture:

this has taken about as long as the new Cure album to make...out soon..sih, somewhere.

@sdedition @duranduran An album plagued by production problems, recording relocation, swapping producers. despite all that managed to conjur a banger in Shadows on Your Side, criminally not a single. There’s good songs here buried amongst Nick’s fairlight tinkering and Andy’s wizardry non existent.

.@duranduran's 'Seven and the Ragged Tiger' was released on this day, back in 1983. Thoughts on this album? 'The Seventh Stranger' is DD at their very best, for me and you can't argue with 'Union of the Snake'...

@Tim_Burgess I’m a huge curefan as well and as much as I’m ecstatic the cure are back with their best material since the 90s it doesn’t quite get as good as Julie - My Anti-Aircraft Friend. Even Bob would like this., think Pre-Loveless MBV sounds, but imagine they were on Sub Pop records

Album of the Year 2024, what are we saying?

I’m testing the waters of bluesky. I may jump ship but it could take time. bsky.app/profile/resq85…

@RoughTrade The Cure

Where do you head to first when you visit your local record store?

@alanmoreton1962 @reevesgabrels @thecure @RobertSmith Guitar solos in the cure?….well they’ve done sax and trumpet solo’s before. I’m not actually a fan of Reeves style of playing, esp on a night like this. Endsong however, it works. Anyhoo funniest bit about this clip is when it pans to Perry, the haunted roadie!

Anyone think @reevesgabrels may need a couple of guitar lessons here? Give your head a wobble, this is immaculate. @thecure take a bow, such a great new album. Big up to @RobertSmith and the band. 👏

@MJtweetings @curefans also it wouldnt have fit on the vinyl had it been much longer.

@curefans Warsong is the one that I keep coming back to. I absolutely love the atmospheric introduction. If there’s a criticism it’s that once it gets going it seems to be over so soon. Feels like there could have been another couple of minutes just to it to give it a big ending.

Warsong last? Interesting 🤔

@CraigatCoF If anyone owns a jazzmaster / jaguar guitar and a Roland jazz chorus amp they have the ‘sound’ of the entirety of seventeen seconds. No pedals required…ok maybe a delay for A Forest.

Roland Cubes, plastic pedalboards and nothing but Boss: Robert Smith’s 2024 guitar rig flies in the face of modern guitar culture – and sounds all the more majestic for it guitarworld.com/artists/guitar…

@CraigatCoF Ha yeah he played the melody momentarily in the major key when it should have been in mino pr and he knew it… instantly.

That face! 😄 Roger is the best!

@zummo1 @CraigatCoF I can never say goodbye and Endsong were better live than the album versions. The album version of Endsong drums sound very similar, rhymically and sonically to Duran Duran’s The Wild Boys. For me tho, and nothing is forever and alone are my instant skippable tracks.

@CraigatCoF Its a fantastic album, i wish endsong sounded more like the live version, its very very different in Effects, lacks space and the drums are weird but i also repect Robert’s opinion to put out the origiinal almost demo like version

"Down,down,down Yeah I'm pretty much done Staring down the barrel of the same warm gun" DRONE is so good! The only problem is transitioning out of this undeniable jam into the utter bereavement of I Can Never Say Goodbye. But hey,nice problem to have. How is this all so great?

@CraigatCoF Warsong A fragile thing All I ever am Endsong Drone no drone I can never say goodbye Alone Nothing is forever

The Cure’s ‘Songs of a Lost World’: All 8 Tracks Ranked  The pioneering alternative band's 14th album is an unapologetically gloomy meditation on mortality. Read Billboard's preliminary ranking and review. billboard.com/lists/the-cure…

@CureGig 20/20. 🖤

Cure quiz! theguardian.com/music/2024/oct…

@curefans With a bottle of Rioja or two.

How do you plan to experience #SOALW for the first time? #THECURE (comment for other)

@vertinski @DikmenMec @120Revisited Too soon?

@DikmenMec @120Revisited spoilers? 👀👀👀👀

The Prodigy “Smack My Bitch Up” The Fat of the Land XL Recordings (1997) Director: Jonas Åkerlund Due to the video’s depiction of drugs/sex/violence, it was relegated to midnight programming, making its debut on 120 Minutes. MTV banned it within weeks.

@thecure You gotta love the simplicity of the Cure. No exotic bespoke boutique guitar pedals or old valve amps. Just bog standard Boss guitar pedals and Roland Cube amps. That’s the sound!
