(or three?) To The Sky, Push, Halo But this list certainly isn't carved in stone. >2) What is in your cure collection? All the albums except 3IB, Concert, and Entreat. A handful of singles (including Close To Me/JLH/Primary--a favourite). The b-sides. A bootleg from '95. Four (or five?) soundtracks. >3) Are you attracted to Robert? In a certain way. >4) Do you wear band shirts? To bed. >5) Have you ever listened to Just Like Heaven on repeat for longer than an hour? Yes in fact. >6) What do you think of WMS? When I first got it I listened to it nonstop for about 2 months. It's fun, but not a favourite. >10) Have you seen Porl's art and what do you think? Interesting. >11) Are you a fan of Alice and Wonderland, Betty Boop, >eating lemons, staying in bed, rain, cats, polar bears? yes, no, yes, yes, YES, yes, yes >16) In one word, what do you love most about the Cure?

IMHO--it sucks. I do admit to liking a couple songs on it, but to me (and this is MY opinion) it is their copout album. i am sure i will get flamed on that one, BUT i understand that artists can do different sounding music BUT this album just does not flow. all their other albums flow so nicely, this one gives me a headache if i listen to it all in one sitting. 7) Have you seen Brazil and if so did those masks remind you of the ones in the Hanging Garden (I think!) video? have not seen it. 8) Did the masks remind you of whatever the hell "saw you look like a japanese baby" describes? didn't see it, but i do have a mask exactly like the ones in hanging garden 9) If Robert was an animal what animal would he be? a bear 10) Have you seen Porl's art and what do you think? it is IMO mediocre. not bad, but nothing that sticks out in my mind as set apart from other things that i have seen. 11) Are you a fan of Alice and Wonderland, Betty Boop, eating lemons, staying in bed, rain, cats, polar bears? Alice in Wonderland--yes, Betty Boop-No, eating lemons YES--i used to eat them all the time as a child.., staying in bed--very much so--many a day when i should have stayed in bed, rain--yes, cats--yes, polar bears--yes.. 12) Do you find your love of the cure has a lot to do with similarities in the things you like and Robert likes? yes 13) What about Lol? - -Herman Monster on drugs- 14) If you could give the band one gift what would it be? true friendship--they can afford to buy everything else 15) Have you read the Gormenghast trilogy? no, but i would like to, i just rarely find time to read--yes i know i have time to read my emails, but that is while switching from screen to screen at work trying not to get caught reading emails :) 16) In one word, what do you love most about the Cure? ethereal 17) Can you explain the lyrics to Wailing Wall? yes, but i am at work so i don't have them right in front of me (though i could sing them all it helps to look at them) and i don't have time to look them up online. i will try and post later on this 18) Are you bipolar or do you want to be? HELL NO! my boyfriends daughter's biological mother is bipolar. i wouldn't want to be like her. 19) Have you dreamt about the cure? yes... 20) How do you picture Robert's house? cluttered, it has to be for him to find things (songs...etc..) that he did years ago and forgot about. ~eiregirl ps i like the idea of this list not being so moderated, that is why when imoved last year i didn't resub until babble went down. - - To unsubscribe to descent, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe descent" in the body of the message.

Charlotte Sometimes 2) What is in your cure collection? The albums plus a few concerts 3) Are you attracted to Robert? In a weird way maybe, I don't find his features attractive, but he seems quite a presense, I don't know if attracted is the word 4) Do you wear band shirts? occasionally 5) Have you ever listened to Just Like Heaven on repeat for longer than an hour? no, though I sometimes repeat figurehead or faith a few times 6) What do you think of WMS? I can listen to it but it doesn't do too much for me 7) Have you seen Brazil and if so did those masks remind you of the ones in the Hanging Garden (I think!) video? no 8) Did the masks remind you of whatever the hell "saw you look like a japanese baby" describes? don't know 9) If Robert was an animal what animal would he be? not sure 10) Have you seen Porl's art and what do you think? yes I like it 11) Are you a fan of Alice and Wonderland, Betty Boop, eating lemons, staying in bed, rain, cats, polar bears? I love cats and staying in bed, the others are ok except I don't like betty boop. 12) Do you find your love of the cure has a lot to do with similarities in the things you like and Robert likes? I think he has good taste, I don't think that's why I like the cure. I think if you like someone's art perhaps you look at the world in a similar way but I don't know him so I don't know. 13) What about Lol? not much opinion 14) If you could give the band one gift what would it be? I would want to give them artwork but I'm sure it's been done. 15) Have you read the Gormenghast trilogy? Yes I liked it. 16) In one word, what do you love most about the Cure? I don't know how to explain, the songs are like their own world. 17) Can you explain the lyrics to Wailing Wall? I think it's about going to Israel. 18) Are you bipolar or do you want to be? No, though I sometimes suffer from depression. Why this question? Is Robert bipolar? 19) Have you dreamt about the cure? I sometimes dream I'm going to see another concert. 20) How do you picture Robert's house? I think he said it was modern, I would have pictured stone. ===== - --------------------------------- Rachel Thern kiravae@yahoo.com rachel@thern.org http://www.thern.org/~rachel - --------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Rain: Beautiful, a good reason to stay in bed, or go walking, or whatever. Cats: Possibly the best animal (read "The Cat that Went to Heaven." Sorry, can't remember who wrote it). Polar bears: Cute, but they're one of only two natural predators of man. >12) Do you find your love of the cure has a lot to do >with similarities in the things you like and Robert >likes? No, I loved the music first, and later found out that I shared a lot of the same interests as Robert. >13) What about Lol?

Argh! It changes so often.. I'd have to say Same Deep Water at the moment though... 2) What is in your cure collection? I'm quite proud of my Assemblage box set.. My sister keeps buying me the singles on 7" too. But compared to most of you I probably don't have much. 3) Are you attracted to Robert? Yes yes yes yes yes. 4) Do you wear band shirts? I'm actually wearing one right now. I feel really bad for it, cos any time I see nice clothes, I say to my friends "go get me that! I want it", so last night one girl went and convinced this bloke to give me his cure top. It is incredibly nice... 5) Have you ever listened to Just Like Heaven on repeat for longer than an hour? argh! no. more than an hour?! i'd listen to the album on repeat for ages, but not just one song. I can't do that. I can't even play 4 track singles on repeat for long. 6) What do you think of WMS? One of the first I heard (that dates me ;P) so i kind of have an attachment to it. I think that's the great thing about the Cure though is they've got so many styles. Love them all. Though I resent it in part; "And all those long long nights that I stay awake and I think of what I've done, of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away..." made me wonder if I'd done the right thing dumping my boyfriend. We got back together, then exploded. grr 7) Have you seen Brazil and if so did those masks remind you of the ones in the Hanging Garden (I think!) video? noop, not seen it 8) Did the masks remind you of whatever the hell "saw you look like a japanese baby" describes? 9) If Robert was an animal what animal would he be? i love whatever he is in the why can't I be you video.. I was (and still am) considering going to see them with a black nose... 10) Have you seen Porl's art and what do you think? yeah, i was really interested in it! it's a great site layout at http://www.porl.co.uk, the way shapes take you on to new pages. The colours he uses aren't quite to my taste, cos I love bright rainbows, but the art's cool. 11) Are you a fan of Alice and Wonderland, Betty Boop, eating lemons, staying in bed, rain, cats, polar bears? Not big on betty boop.. and i'm allergic to cats, which is really annoying cos i think they're great, but bed+rain+lemons+alice is good. polar bears rock. 12) Do you find your love of the cure has a lot to do with similarities in the things you like and Robert likes? I guess.. he has lyrics for every situation too... I love his fascination with everything, wanting to know. Yeah, i think it's partly down to that, the enthusiasm. 13) What about Lol? yeah......... no. favourite lineup is just after he left. 14) If you could give the band one gift what would it be? the inability to split. 15) Have you read the Gormenghast trilogy? no, but i saw the tv program. i'm not a good reader, very slow.. 16) In one word, what do you love most about the Cure? Robert 17) Can you explain the lyrics to Wailing Wall? haha. yeah, right... 18) Are you bipolar or do you want to be? isn't that like, er, wild mood swings? except extreme. i have swings, but not to the extent of bipolarism... and i like to be *nearly* in control.. 19) Have you dreamt about the cure? yeah, they were playing a tiny gig (slightly bigger than the never enough video) and everyone walked out to get last orders at the pub, so they were left just playing to me. That was amazing... 20) How do you picture Robert's house? I don't think i do... I hope it's a happy house though, with happy things in it. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. - - To unsubscribe to descent, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe descent" in the body of the message.

These questions are so cool I'm actually going to delurk long enough to bore you with my answers!
cherry tree girl

1) what is your favorite song?

hmmm, a tough one.  I thought it was always going to be All Cats Are Gray,  but after seeing them do that one live the 2nd night of  the two New Orleans shows last May, I'd have to say it didn't come close to hearing Siamese Twins the 1st night.
2) What is in your cure collection?
all the commercial American full length releases (except for Boys Don't Cry for some strange reason - gotta pick that one up), all commercial American Video releases, some singles and EPs, too many boots (CD, Video, and cassette) to mention, ticket stubs, mp3s, posters and some wonderful memories going back to the first time I heard  DJs at Lucky Numbers and O'Banions in Chicago play Boys Don't Cry, Killing an Arab, and Fire in Cairo.
3) Are you attracted to Robert?
This is an interesting question.  I have analyzed this, and found that I have a strong attraction to Robert's organic persona.  I  say organic because there is no separating the parts (performer/entertainer, guitarist/vocalist, philosopher/lyricist, cultural image sustainer/liar, bandleader/anti corporate businessman, etc.) from the whole as far as I can tell.  None of what he does seems to be done for the wrong reasons or out of any motive more than a genuine, intuitive sense of connecting with an audience.  I think that is the key to his success as a perfomer, and why I am attracted to him as a person.
4) Do you wear band shirts?
nope... don't have any yet.
5) Have you ever listened to Just Like Heaven on
repeat for longer than an hour?
cool... something I've never tried yet!  Thanks for the suggestion! *runs to find a version of JLH*
6) What do you think of WMS?
Love it... can we talk about this album's genius now that the occasional yet obvious flaws don't hurt so much anymore?
7) Have you seen Brazil and if so did those masks
remind you of the ones in the Hanging Garden (I
think!) video?
Terry Gilliam is another genius... I wonder if he got the idea for the  masks from Tim Pope and/or Robert?
8) Did the masks remind you of whatever the hell "saw
you look like a japanese baby" describes?
yup, and the following line with the faux japanese accented "in an instant...."
9) If Robert was an animal what animal would he be?
a Mogwai
10) Have you seen Porl's art and what do you think?
incredible... what can this man not do?
11) Are you a fan of Alice and Wonderland, Betty Boop,
eating lemons, staying in bed, rain, cats, polar bears?
yes, no, yes, YES, YES, YES, and no. Except for the one in the Pictures of You video. Who was the crazy person in that suit?  anyone?  Bueller?
12) Do you find your love of the cure has a lot to do
with similarities in the things you like and Robert
likes?
Naturally, but I'm not to worried about fave colors and what brand of lipstick he uses.  I bought "The Crow Road" by Iain Banks (and read another book by him) because I read somewhere that the lyrics to "Where the Birds Always Sing" were inspired by the book, and knowing Robert likes Banco de Gaia turned me on to Toby Marks' work.  I'll also offer a free mini-rant to any interested party that wants to email me personally about being a slave to consumerism's vicarious fascination with the creative celebrity.
13) What about Lol?
hmm... question # 13.... did you know that the origin of the superstition of the unlucky number 13 supposedly dates back to the last supper?  Judas Iscariot was the 13th member of that pre- "funeral party."  And if you've got too much time on your hands, go to google and do a " 'Judas Iscariot' + 13 " search.  Interesting results.  Did I skirt that somewhat cryptic question to begin with well enough?
14) If you could give the band one gift what would it be?
A musical dedication, probably a percussion solo, but what an awesome task to try to convey n a gift the appreciation I have for their gifts.
15) Have you read the Gormenghast trilogy?
No...not yet. Have to read The Crow Road (and quite a few others) first.
16) In one word, what do you love most about the Cure?
Resonance
17) Can you explain the lyrics to Wailing Wall?
No, can Robert?

18) Are you bipolar or do you want to be?

I've not been diagnosed as such.... but I have manic depressive and addictive tendencies... and it's not a matter of desire at all.  No matter how good or bad I feel or want to feel, I really can only say the Serenity Prayer and hope for the best.

19) Have you dreamt about the cure?
Yup, but I don't remember much.  I vaguely remember once having a combination of amazement and concern that they had entered into my subconscious.
20) How do you picture Robert's house?
filled with Stolichnaya, Banco de Gaia, and "Bad Timing" on TV. He really loves it there, I'm sure.
