Retro, Man!
I’m so excited. I was digging through the St. Vincnet de Paul store(think Goodwill or Salvation Army) and I found treasures. Everytime I go there I search through the box of old records they have, only to be drug out by my mom who thinks that it’s pretty pointless for me to buy records. She might be right. I don’t have a record player. But there it was, sitting right next to “Merry Christmas From the Mormon Tabernacle Choir” was “The Cure: The Singles”. It went like this:
Mom: Come on, we need to go.
Alisa: Ok, just one sec.
Mom: Oooh, The Carpenters! I used to listen to them all the time!
Alisa [not really paying attention]: Oh my gosh! The Cure! I can’t believe I found this!
Mom: Who’s The Cure?
Alisa: It’s…It’s…The Cure! An 80’s rock band.
[Old lady beside me gives a disaproving stare.]
Mom: Oh. Well, come on now.
So I was happy. I saw a record from Alabama, but it was in bad shape and it didn’t even have Sweet Home Alabama on it. So I didn’t buy that one. All I need now is a record player…

We have a very high quality albeit old record player on our stereo system. Bring your albums the next time you come to Boise. You can tape them.
I can’t believe that you are interested in the Cure. What will you think of next? The Smiths? My favorite song by the Cure is “Love Song” like every one else. You should give Morrissey a try. He is so cool. Nice and 80’s (he is the lead singer of the Smiths and then when they broke up he did his own solo thing). Good music though.
My favorite album by the Cure is Wish. I love it. Don’t have it, but I love it. Brings back memories of high school.
