Music in the morning

I was just surfing around on the Sessions @ AOL site where they have live artist recordings and I came across a set performed by the Cure in 2004. This recording of 'FTEOTDGS' from the Wish album is by far one of the best live recordings I have ever heard. The guitars are absolutely amazing. If you have a few minutes, check it out. It's my favorite song, hence blog title.



One of my other favorite songs is 'One Hundred Years' from the Pornography album. This song is on the other end of the emotion spectrum from FTEOTDGS and often appears on my iPod when I'm upset or angry. Once again, the guitar mastery is amazing to watch.



They also had this little gem of an interview on the site. This is Robert talking about the new album (at the time) and also about his appearance on 'South Park'. Whenever I hear him speak, I wish that he would never stop. He's got an adorable personality.



Last, but not least, they had this video from the song 'Let's Go To Bed' posted on the site. Not sure why they have it, but it's a funny video and hard to believe that he looked so different back then, huh? The site has it incorrectly labeled as 1993... the song is from the Japanese Whispers album that was released in 1982. It's easy to see that there may have been a little, ah, illicit drug use going on around the time... ya think?
