^ yeah, i don't fully understand why the cure haven't received more credit.
i'm pretty sure that the majority of people could at least name 1 song they like.
they've been going for 35 years, released an album nearly every year,
have toured consistently to sold out audiences for the entire time
have always and continue to create their own sound
have influenced an enormous number of bands throughout the years
it seems bands like nirvana and the beatles get thrown in the ring as being some of the greats yet the cure, never seem to get a mention.
The Cure rock. You could release Seventeen Seconds now, and it would sound fresh (party due to retro nostalgia, but still)
Note the Smith-esque sound of the guitar samples in this one (it probably is a Cure sample).
That sound, man I love it. Ironically The Cure remind me of summer days at the beach, 'cause that's when I listened to them. Smith's guitar sound, in my head, is the sun playing on the ocean. Weird.
As for this film clip the most I can make of the first few minutes is the connection to Rastafarians, and that "Haile Selassie I, the former and final Emperor of Ethiopia, is another incarnation of the Christian God, called Jah.[9] Most see Haile Selassie I as Jah or Jah Rastafari, who is the second coming of Jesus Christ onto the Earth, but to others he is simply God's chosen king on earth."
Abel is Ethiopian/Canadian.

The rest of the clip is just weirdly interesting, make of it what you will. 
@ panda. is was really into that panda. then.... the over processed US style pop vocals started up and i also cut my ears off. 
@Stu. 20yrs from now ago, kids will be I started wearing Cure shirts and pronouncing their coolness (Ramones, Smiths) even without after hearing or seeing them live 
my little brother, without reading this thread posted this on face book last night proclaiming it as the best rock song ever!!!
blink 182 and bloc party are 3 bands that wear their cure love on their sleeves
some pop cure
This is an amazing piece of music Ian K. And so to is the imagery.
If I had a prize to give for the best musical post of the week or month you would have it. Thank You.
hey i don't mind a bit of a sea shanty and a pint of guiness.....
All due respect gestalt but I don't think the words "punk" and "folk" can be put into the same sentence let alone next to each other.
I think what Ian K posted is a soulful lament rather than a sea shanty.
Certainly a "Sea Shanty", to be meaningful and by definition, must be traditional in nature and delivery.
Sailors prefer simplicity above all else as dealing with the moods of the sea is not usually simple.
The following song is a sea shanty that is on an album, a copy of which on vinyl I bought in Cairns in 1972 in mint condition and I still have.
Dave Van Ronk is one of the legends of American folk music and a contemporary of Woodie Gutherie among others.
Bit of crackle from the vinyl record but otherwise great.
Thought it might be turning into Sea Shanty Sunday. Here's my favourite
well i was all set for sea shanty sunday but cisco has made up some new rules.
you just goota think outside the box cisco, it's still a sea shanty only faster,
anyways, here ya go cisco
I think somehow this thread has become overloaded or something.
It is the slowest page on Seabreeze for my computer to load and seems to slow my computer as well. Be that as it may.
Here is a track that some might remember and I think it was this artist's rendition that got a lot of radio play back then. The guitar playing is great.
55 Days at Peking. It was a pivotal point in world history and a movie was made of it starring Charlton Heston, David Niven, Ava Gardner and our own Sir Robert Helppman.
The full movie is on You Tube and I recommend it as riveting entertainment and a good history lesson for those whose definition of history is "the sh!t ya gotta delete off ya computer so ya parents/wife/kids can't see ya been lookin' at porn".
Is it Friday yet? What with day light saving etc This is worthy Cisco even if it is early.
It's Friday night Elbeau, reset your clock. Early but they were very good.
Dragging the chain on my country assignment.
now for something that you can listen too ,
and enjoy!!
Lets get this thread onto page 21. Hopefully it will load a bit quicker.
Maybe if we all use a separate post for each song we link to, the page won't be so slow.
Anybody else finding the page takes ages to load??
