My favorite person as Curator, my two favorite bands, The Cure and The Twilight Sad, along with so many other great bands. I was in heaven!! Robert Smith you did a fantastic job!! Southbank Centre, it was great to be there!!

    I'm low key royally pissed I missed the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and My Bloody Valentine (and I guess Mogwai too) all playing in the same place. I was sure the universe would explode in the wake of such an event. I thank God, though, that such a conceivable thing actually happened. It makes me happy that many of my heroes are my other hero's heroes. Example, Trent Reznor once said that "The Head on the Door" is one of the best records ever made.

      5,437 miles separate "Hollywood" from London. Two different bands in two entirely different countries. Concrete Blonde, not so successful and not so appealing overall. Stuck in "talented" land to this day. Meanwhile, Siouxsie is not dreaming about much of what you fuss over. Her image is on t-shirts across the globe. Her make-up and dance moves are still relevant. Johnette? Not so much, and only mildly popular within reach of KROQ in LA, at best.
