the cure | "m" | seventeen seconds | 1980
the other band i discovered all on my own listening to wber was the cure. i have always been very careful in everything i do not to give anyone reason to describe me as a fanatic in any way whatsoever. but i did dress up like robert smith for halloween in 1990. that’s the worst it ever got, i swear.
to mitigate my lapse in principle in 1990, i will confess that there is a lot of cure that i don’t like. pretty much everything after disintegration is crap. and there have been only a few times that my melancholy has been equal to the task of listening to all of faith or pornography in one sitting. and most of kiss me... was just too 80s pop even for the 80s. but disintegration, seventeen seconds, and the top were very nearly life-changing for me.
p.s. this post is emphatically not this.
