Episode: 219 The Cure Alone Uknown

VHF-219 (The Cure - Alone & Unknown) is all about Robert Smith and his long running band, the Cure. After a seventeen year hiatus from studio album releases, the group has released their first single, Alone, from their forthcoming album, Songs Of A Lost World. The new album comes out one minute past Halloween, November 1st!

In honor of this exciting and long awaited release Very High Frequencies has put together a bunch of the bands more obscure B-sides and lesser known studio tracks, along with a few of the big hit songs that seem to be playing everywhere. Even my local supermarket Muzak PA is playing The Cure to all customers; from age seven to ninety seven. The grocery shoppers might not be listening but they are hearing The Cure. 

As Goth becomes another cyclical commodity that sells sells sells it makes sense that the band has become mainstream without necessarily selling out completely. The point is we have a tendency to hear the same dozen songs by The Cure over and over again. They actually have hundreds of songs and a lot of them are so very good. 

Tune in to this episode of Very High Frequencies for an alternative version of an extremely popular band. We will also check out a few songs featuring Robert Smith that are outside of The Cure. And of course we will be playing the first single, Alone, from their upcoming album. Check out VHF- 219 (The Cure - Alone & Unknown) for an enlightening show!
