After all, it there's nothing to add, why should (we) bother finding something to write? Who says (we) have to update regularly? (We) do not run a news site, just some sort of "archive"

4/3/2007

Guess who's back! The albums review section! I initially thought it would be kinda cool to "release" it one year after the first one (ie last november) since it was almost ready back then, but as you may have guessed  I didn't have that emotional transportation to do it...

One year has passed

6/9/2006

Incredible but true... (we)'re back. For old times' sake, thanks to the new Cure remasters. Not that (we)'re full of new stuff now, there is nothing else to add at the moment

13/7/2006

June 2006 has been the first month in (our) site's history with no updates ever. So sad but true...

And let me repeat myself: 

po-popopo-popo-poooooooo........

9/7/2006

po-popopo-popo-poooooooo........

17/06/2006

Yep! Still alive :-)

I realized I'll never have the will to improve my Cure stuff list like I wanted (and it would've been a huge work), so I'll just re-upload it again like it was, I like to think it is useful to someone, with all cd lenghts and stuff.

PS: I'm in the midst of the 2nd album processing period (see music section below), so expect votes in the (near) future

(Introducing Paranoid Android):

Thom - This is one song... this is one song you can't have sex to.

Unless you're really fucking weird

:-D

13/4/2006

You have to understand, after five years, a lot of interest towards the site has passed... i'm really sad about it.

Moreover, not much is happening in the cure world (as always)

3/3/2006

Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice

2/3/2006

I passed the CAE (English-speaking language) exam with B. That's kinda what I expected

27/1/2006

I am unsure whether to create a mini section devoted to Easy Cure

17/1/2006

As you see, I slightly re-ordered this page. I'm still not splitting it into sub-pages, because I like the mess and moreover, i fear nobody would read them thinking "oh come on, more pages to open? tsk, so complicated!" ;-)

PS: the pictures from Taormina aren't coming because they all suck!

4/10/2005

"That song is the bane of my entire life, i've not had a single interview where i wasn't asked 'do you really wish it was the 60's?' No!! I don't wish it was the 60's!! It's just a song okay, i don't wish it was the 60's!! Levi Jeans wish it was the 60's, i certainly fucking don't!!"

Thom: Everybody in da house say Yeah!
Audience: YEAH!
Thom: Fucking hell, it works!

Thank you to:

Francesco, Gioia, Perla, Laura, Francesco, Lorenzo, Maurizio, Francesco, Simone, Roberta (and to the Cure)

for being with me for the best two days of my life in Taormina

7/8/2005

I created this page to share this knowledge of mine with the world: here are four couples of famous persons ab-so-lu-te-ly identical!!!! And I am not the only one who thinks it, especially for the first two couples !!!!!

PS. do not fully trust the pictures for the fourth ones, I couldn't find anything better but I know I'm right :-)

The ultimate Cure concert.

(and I WAS there...)

30/5/2005

Maybe I should split this page, it's becoming really huge

27/5/2005

And here we are, two members less and a handful of debates, harsh comments and resentment between Robert & COF. What can I say? At first I was very very sad, I really liked Roger and Perry. And moreover, this is the first lineup change in my life (I knew them in 96), I wasn't prepared or aware of how it would feel.

Now I've accepted the thing, but how can they stay a trio without using pre-recorded samples on live shows?? That's my biggest question now. We'll see in August. Anyway, Let's hope this brings a new refreshing air into the Cure music.

25/5/2005

thank you reds...

as an Inter FC fan, I could not hope better... from 3-0 to 3-3...

"When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown..

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone.

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone"

QUOTES

        Beautiful quotes:

"Bitch! Yeah, I called you a bitch, what now?"

"Oh yeah? Your mother!"

J.R.R. Tolkien - > "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them" (from "The Lord Of The Rings")

Bob Marley -> "when the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace"

Russell Crow to a girl in "A beautiful mind" - > "I don't exactly know what I am required to say in order for you to have intercourse with me. But could we assume that I said all that. I mean essentially we are talking about fluid exchange right? So could we go just straight to the sex"

Gluefreak* -> We may be virtual, but we still care. (* Gluefreak is the nickname of a Cure fan posting in the curiosity.de message board)

James Joyce -> "Why is it that words like these seem to me so dull and cold? Is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name?" (from "The Dead")

Benjamin Peirce -> "Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don't know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth." (about Euler's identity)

William Shakespeare -> Hamlet's monologue "To be or not to be" from "Hamlet"

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.-

William Shakespeare -> Macbeth's monologue "She should have died hereafter" from "Macbeth"

She should have died hereafter.

There would have been a time for such a word.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time; .

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

T.S. Eliot -> "The burial of the dead" from "The Waste Land"

April is the cruellest month, breeding

Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing

Memory and desire, stirring

Dull roots with spring rain.

Winter kept us warm, covering

Earth in forgetful snow, feeding

A little life with dried tubers.

[...]

Unreal city,

Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,

A crowd flowed over London bridge, so many,

I had not thought death had undone so many

Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled

And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.

Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,

To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours

With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.

There I saw one I knew, and stopped him crying:

"Stetson!

You who were with me in the ships at Mylae!

That corpse you planted last year in your garden,

Has it began to sprout? Will it bloom this year?

Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?

O keep the Dog far hence, that's friend to men,

Or with his nails he'll dig it up again!

You! hypocrite lecteur! - mon semblable, - mon frère!"

T.S. Eliot -> "The fire sermon" from "The Waste Land"

Only a cock stood on the rooftree

Co co rico co co rico

[...]

London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down

Poi s'ascose nel foco che li affina

Quando fiam uti chelidon - O swallow swallow

Le Prince d'Aquitaine à la tour abolie

These fragments I have shored against my ruins

Why then Ile filt you. Hieronymo's mad againe.

Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.

Robert Smith -> "These flowers will never fade [...] These flowers will always fade" (from "Bloodflowers")

Robert Smith -> "The further I get from the things that I care about the less I care about how much further away I get" (from "Fear of ghosts")

Robert Smith -> "I don't understand this obsession with banging out records. What a stupid attitude! Like the world is holding its breath waiting for the next Cure album. It isn't."

Robert Smith -> "It has nothing to do with me if there's a lot of bootlegs of the Cure. I've never objected to
them. No-one's ever had their tape recorder confiscated at a Cure show, it doesn't bother me in the slightest"

Robert Smith -> "How beautiful you are..." inspired by the poem "Les yeux des pauvres" (The eyes of the poor) by Charles Baudelaire

You want to know why I hate you?

Well I'll try and explain...

You remember that day in Paris

When we wandered through the rain

And promised to each other

That we'd always think the same

And dreamed that dream

To be two souls as one

And stopped just as the sun set

And waited for the night

Outside a glittering building

Of glittering glass and burning light...

And in the road before us

Stood a weary greyish man

Who held a child upon his back

A small boy by the hand

The three of them were dressed in rags

And thinner than air

And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The father's eyes said "Beautiful!

How beautiful you are!"

The boy's eyes said

"How beautiful!

She shimmers like a star!"

The child's eyes uttered nothing

But a mute and utter joy

And filled my heart with shame for us

At the way we are

I turned to look at you

To read my thought upon your face

And gazed so deep into your eyes

So beautiful and strange

Until you spoke

And showed me understanding is a dream

"I hate these people staring

Make them go away from me!"

The father's eyes said "Beautiful!

How beautiful you are!"

The boy's eyes said

"How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"

The child's eyes uttered nothing

But quiet and utter joy

And stilled my heart with sadness

For the way we are...

And this is why I hate you

And how I understand

That no-one ever knows or loves another

Or loves another

Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe (aka R.E.M.) -> "Nightswimming"

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard,
taken years ago,
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Still, it's so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
The moon is low tonight.

Nightswimming
deserves a quiet night.
I'm not sure all these people understand.
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
replaced by everyday.

Nightswimming,
remembering that night.
September's coming soon.
I'm pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
could not describe
nightswimming.

You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
this one laughing quietly
underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.

The photograph reflects,
every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet
night, deserves a quiet night.

Nick Cave -> "Where the wild roses grow"

They call me the wild rose, but my name was Elisa Day
Why, they call me it I do not know, for my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses, that grew down the river all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and he entered the room my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand he wiped at the tears that ran down my face

They call me the wild rose, but my name was Elisa Day
Why, they call me it I do not know, for my name was Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower, she was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said "do you know where the wild roses grow, so sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose, he said "give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed, if I show you the roses will you follow?

They call me the wild rose, but my name was Elisa Day
Why, they call me it I do not know, for my name was Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river. he showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word, as he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow, she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said "all beauty must die", and lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

They call me the wild rose, but my name was Elisa Day
Why, they call me it I do not know, for my name was Elisa Day

"You'll never walk alone" (Liverpool FC official anthem):

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown..

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone.

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone

        "The Simpsons" is the best cartoon ever!!!!!!!!!!!! here are a few significative lines:

Homer: [reading computer screen] "To Start Press Any Key". Where's the ANY key?

Scully: Now, we're going to run a few tests. This is a simple lie detector. I'll ask you a few yes or no questions and you just answer truthfully. Do you understand?
Homer: Yes.
[the polygraph explodes]

Big brother representative: Now, Mr. Simpson, may I ask why you're here? 
Homer's Brain: Don't say revenge. Don't say revenge. 
Homer: Ummm... revenge? 
Homer's Brain: Okay, that's it. I'm outta here. 
[Sound FX: step step step step step... slam]

Mrs. Bouvier: "Oh, Monty, you're the devil himself."
Mr. Burns: "What the...WHO TOLD YOU?!...Oh, uh, yes."

[Homer, falling behind the couch for a peanut he dropped, finds a twenty dollar bill instead.] 
Homer: Oh, twenty dollars. I wanted a peanut. 
Homer's Brain: Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts. 
Homer: Explain how. 
Homer's Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services. 
Homer: Woo-hoo!

[Homer reads "Fatherhood" by Bill Cosby]

Homer: [reading] Cosby's First Law of Inter-generational Perversity: No matter what you tell your child to do, he will always do the opposite. Huh?

Homer's Brain: Don't you get it!? You gotta use reverse psychology!

Homer: Well, that sounds too complicated.

Homer's Brain: Okay, don't use reverse psychology.

Homer: All right, I will!

Lisa: Remember, it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt. 
Homer's Brain: What does that mean? Better say something or they'll think you're stupid.

Homer: All right brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But let's just get me through this, and I can get back to killing you with beer.

Homer's brain: It's a deal!

[Homer is explaining a plan of his own to sneak out of work]

Homer: I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty. And if its speed dropped, the bus would explode! I think it was called... "The bus that couldn't slow down." [The movie was indeed called "Speed"]

Marge: Homer, wasn't the whole point to catch the Cat Burglar? 
Lisa: And I still don't have my saxophone. 
Homer: Lisa, the mob is working on getting your saxophone back. But we've also expanded into other important areas. [reads a list] Literacy programs, preserving our beloved covered bridges, world domination

Lisa: World domination? 
Homer: Oh ho, heh, that might be a typo. 
Homer's Brain: Mental note: the girl knows too much. 

[Homer is whining about the town split in two different phone codes]

Homer: [writing "939" on his hand] I hate this new area code. Like I don't have enough to remember already. [looks at his other hand, which has "Lenny = white, Carl = black" written on it] Is that right? Don't you miss the old 636 ... [consults hand] ... Carl?

[...]

Homer: What really burns me up is they didn't give us one word of warning.

Carl: What do you mean? They ran those TV commercials about it, and that big radio campaign.

Lenny: Don't forget the leaflets they dropped from the Space Shuttle, and the two weeks we all spent at area code camp.

Homer: Not a single word of warning.

Bart: D'oh! [slaps forehead]

[Principal Skinner has just revealed he stole his identity from his sergeant in Vietnam, supposedly dead. The townspeople all stare shocked.]

Ron Howard: Really? You have children? Aw, well look, here's some money. [hands Homer some bills]

Homer: [putting the money in his shirt pocket] No. I don't want your pity or your money.

Homer: [praying heavenward] "I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman."

[Lisa won the "Miss Springfield" content]

Kent Brockman: The father of the deposed beauty queen, Homer Simpson, filled out the pageant application incorrectly. In the area under `do not write in this space' he wrote `OK'.

Homer: Seven!

Lisa: No, Dad, it's a rhetorical question.

Homer: Rhetorical, eh? Eight!

Shopkeeper: Take this object, but beware: it carries a terrible curse.

Homer: That's bad.
Shopkeeper: But you get your choice of toppings.

Lionel Hutz: This is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the movie The Neverending Story.
Homer: So, do you think I have a case?
Lionel Hutz: Mr. Simpson, I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but you are the greatest hero in American history.
Homer: Woohoo!

Marge: I'm afraid we're going to need a bigger house.
Homer: No, we won't. I've got it all figured out. The baby can have Bart's crib and Bart'll sleep with us until he's 21.
Marge: Won't that warp him?
Homer: My cousin Frank did it.
Marge: You don't have a cousin Frank.
Homer: He became Francine back in '76. Then he joined that cult. I think her name is Mother Shabubu now
