The Cure’s unique career saw them occupy a space that was both musically and visually mysterious, and Cure videos combined both to unforgettable effect.

What a cutie pie!

Import edition features one additional track, Pictures of You. As Greatest Hits-and particularly the busking pavement jazz of \"Lovecats\"-reminds us, the best Cure singles were very often tangential exercises; halcyon playtime divergences offering a Goth-free contrast to some of the weightier studiousness of some of those early albums. Or, as smudged frontman Robert Smith says of this 18-track collection, \"Songs that are sung with a smile.\" This wasn't always true-witness the refrigerated fogginess of the classic \"A Forest\", the Blair Witch Project of it's day. What this compilation does is focus attention on The Cure's perennial unpredictability-the nursery school bonkers-ness of \"The Caterpillar\", the breathless claustrophobia of \"Close to Me\", the New Order-lite of \"The Walk\", the brass-section embellished thrust of \"Why Can't I Be You\". Oddly, chart-wise, The Cure's Lost Weekend began immediately after \"Friday I'm in Love\", their most ebullient melodic moment and the ultimate clocking-off to kick-those-heels! Anthem. But at least the inclusion of two new songs \"Cut Here\" and \"Just Say Yes\" (with Saffron from Republica) indicate that The Cure remain a healthy ongoing concern.

Robert Smith of The Cure on the front cover of Japanese music magazine ‘8 Beat Gag,’ 1988. I’m really into these sweet manga illustrations which were published back in the 80s in a Japanese music magazine called 8 Beat Gag. Written in Japanese, most (if not all) are likely by the the rather prolific manga artist Atsuko Shima—but she wasn’t the only artist that created the cartoons that featured popular musical acts in weird situations that Japanese youth were obsessing about. The fantastic cartoon of Finnish band Hanoi Rocks, which may have also been published in 8 Beat Gag, did show up as a surprise insert UK pressings of the band’s last record 1984’s Two Steps From the Move. Which makes me want to hunt a copy down just so I can have one of my own. When it comes to finding copies of 8 Beat Gag, good luck. As when they do pop up (which they occasionally do), they will cost you a tidy sum. The comic featuring The Cure (where Robert Smith Inexplicably morphs into some sort of goth Yeti. Because, Japan), follows in its entirety as well as a few others featuring Siouxsie Sioux going up against...

Happy National Cat Day! Yes, for real. And, yes, we know that not everyone is a cat person - take dog people, for instance - but for whatever reason, it seems that musicians in particular have a recurring tendency to prefer their companions to be of the feline persuasion. We've collected 20 examples to show you that we're not making this up, and as a bonus, we've dug up a number of cat-centric tracks and compiled them for your listening enjoyment. We don't want to suggest that it's the purr-fect playlist - when it comes to music, we know some of you are pretty persnic-kitty - but hopefully you'll find something in the mix to enjoy.
