Title: "curespotting"
Post by: japanesebaby on November 22, 2008, 11:45:18
i was reading the "you know you are a cure fan when..." thread the other day.
one thing about being a cure fan seems to be that you often see the cure in things/places/situations which aren't actually cure related at all: sometimes you spot things like this, you might even say "hey look at that! ;)" to somebody (who is not a cure fan) but or course they just go "so... what??" (and then you can think: "hey that's a name of a cure song too!" :P).

anyway, your own crooked curefan's mind refuses to see it normally, you see it "cure-ishly". ;) and it takes another curefan to get it.

here're some instances:

a store in düsseldorf, germany:

sometimes i go past this place:

ok please don't - unless it's "cure" related. ;-P
i mean it's not exactly a general thread for toilet wall writings that i wanted to start here...   :eek:
just posted that one because  i go to this club a lot and every time i see that writing it somehow catches my eye, again and again. i've no idea who the robert in question there even is.
but i think of KMKMKM when i see it.

Also, I live on Smith Ave., and my mother calls it "Robert Smith Ave."

The other day while waiting to get into the Carson Daly show a catering truck pulled into the lot.  The name on the truck...Chef Robert's!  :lol:  How fitting!  Makes me wonder who they were catering for?  Everyone in line got a kick out of it.  Too bad I didn't bring along my camera.  Someone took a picture, though.  I'll ask around and keep an eye out for it.

there used to be this placed called "The Dream" years ago near where I lived. Took a picture of it then, not sure where the picture is now, and the place isn't there anymore.

Also there's this Asian/Pacific Islander market that uses the same font as the Why Can't I Be You? single font. I can take a picture of that sometime.

reminded me of this:

http://www.fascinationstreet.se/fascinationstreet

i don't know where the name originated. i doubt it would be cure related as these studios are famous among metal/progeressive metal bands, opeth & co.
i was surprised to see deep insight and disco ensemble on their list of clients though as they are finnish emo bands, certainly not metal.

it's like someone once told me how he went to a concert to see the swedish band kent and how his garderobe ticket had the number '747' (which is a name for one of the most well-known songs by that band).

Waow. I guess that that made that certain person think once or twice about weird things in life. Btw isn´t there a Finnish band sounding very much like Kent? I know I had atleast one track with them on  a mixtape somewhere but the name of that band  elludes me for the moment

Well I guess that You know that there already are those who do just that. Checking out parking lots and the traffic opposites you whlie driving. I red a couple months ago about a Swedish pair that made the trip from 001 to 999 in just a slight over six months. Crazy. Remember Trainspotting? :roll:

i've also heard about a group here in finland (maybe they are elsewhere too, i don't know) who are into caravan spotting. in addition to a license plate, every caravan has a sort of registering number. the smaller the number, the older the caravan is. i heard that if you spot a caravan with a number less than 10 then you're really something and every fellow caravan-spotter will go like 2wowwww!!"

i found this a bit funny. that's a guitarist from an austrian band called l'âme immortelle. the oddest thing was that he was even copying some of robert's moves, especially the swaggering moves that robert does during 'lullaby'.

Thank you Fiction & japanesebaby for positive comments  :D

But the thing is, if you will see on the advert, there is a inscription down below on it which says "Download doubleTwist for free at www.doubletwist.com/cure"  :lol:

And its not Photoshop))) Its real story. Few days ago a hacker owned this banner for company with this inscription. But the program doubleTwist is allow to all music players differ from iPod synchronize with iTunes library, which Apple definitely interdicted.

i just happened to see this episode (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1469103/) from a british crime series called 'new tricks'. the name of the guy who's murder was being investigated was robert smith. it was somehow distracting, to hear them keep repeating stuff like "the murder of robert smith..."/"when robert smith was murdered..."/"whoever it was that killed robert smith..."/etc.


:shock: 

was it a coincident to use that name??

yes i think it must have been. after all smith is the most common surname in english and robert isn't that rare first name either.

the faces off the kids reminds me of my own children  :-D

How you see this on your age?
I remember me that you wrote something that your music taste is different with your mom's ?
So I guess in your situation you should have the opposite, right?

no, no development plans this time. this place is quite far from everything like that, very few people even live in the area.
it's just people turning forests to money, clearing out the trees and leaving a complete war zone behind, it looks like the area was bombed or something :( :evil: - it'll take more than a lifetime for the forest to renew itself.

-Excuse me. Who are they?
-Archangels.
-Huh?
-17 seconds... once they jump from the chopper, that's their life expectancy.
-You never thought of giving them parachutes?
-They're not much help.

Here's a big one


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IXxmXTOH98 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IXxmXTOH98)


The movie "Career Girls" is basically "The Cure: The Movie"


There's like, a tacky amount of Cure in this movie. For no reason. I have no idea why.

In the clip I posted, they have a poster for The 13th single up on some wall and they show it. Strange.
