Some of you dear readers may know that one of my favorite bands is XTC (learn more, web site, awesome fan site).

Today’s Terrific Tune for Tuesday is from moody English rockers The Cure (learn more). They have been putting out unique and intersting music since the late seventies and are still doing it. I’m a big fan and have a small collection of their music and other items. I’ve always loved their album “Disintegration“. It spawned a bunch of singles and ”Lullabye” was [...]
