The Cure 4:13 Dream
Due: October 28, 2008 Label: Geffen Records On The Road: Extensively toured the world from February to June, with new dates TBD. Backspin: Robert Smith may be the godfather of goth, but for a guy whose career is a storybook of self despair, he’s done quite well for himself. As the lead singer and only constant member of The Cure, Smith – who Boy George once described as “a blob” - has kept the band going 32 years strong by writing and recording the bulk of the groups hefty discography. The ability to openly make fun of himself became apparent on South Park in 1998 where, after morphing into a giant moth, he thankfully trumped the evils of Barbara Streisand. Other recent collaborations, however, - Blink 182, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy - have put his taste in talent in question. Pitch Patrol: The album’s release, having been pushed back several times, came following a May announcement that promised a single on the 13th of each month until its original September 13 debut. Though the release date was pushed back significantly, remixes of all four singles - “Perfect Boy,” “Sleep When I'm Dead,” “Freakshow,” and “The Only One” - accomplished an astonishing feat of adorning the Billboard Top 20 at the same time last month. Overdue on taming his unmanageable mane and donning signature makeup that now masks instead of enhances his 49 years, Smith is rounded out by drummer Jason Cooper, bassist Simon Gallup and guitarist Prol Thompson – who has outdone himself with black eye shadow and draw-on cornrows - for the third time around. Perhaps the reunion of members past is the reason 4:13 Dream has the band coming full circle, revisiting their melodically-ridden beautiful angst minus the awkward experimentation of recent albums. Tracklist: Underneath the Stars The Only One The Reasons Why Freakshow Sirensong The Real Snow White The Hungry Ghost Switch The Perfect Boy This. Here and Now. With You Sleep When I’m Dead The Scream It’s Over RELATED: boy george, the cure

Not sure I would bring up teh South Park episode with Streisand. I love South Park, but that had to be the most damn lame ass episodes of South Park ever made. What Parker/Stone have against Streisand is irrelevant (being as high profile as she is and for so long makes her a predictable target). The fact is that the episode wasn't funny.
We know Streisand has survived quite well - the Cure, for those who even know who they are, it appears that to some modest extent that they have. To be honest, I find the Cure's music more depressing than anything Streisand has ever recorded - but to each their own.
