Hi everybody! I'm still getting over the dream that was seeing The Cure on 31st May :) truly a dream come true!! :-D
and was great meeting sum ppl from curefans.com!

Anyway, I have a client who was interested by my love for The Cure so I created a playlist for her...

.. I went a bit nuts though with 33 songs! (getting the best sounding versions, working out which songs to include and putting them into a good lsitening order etc.)

Thought I'd send it the boards way too. Comments/suggestions for future reference appreciated :-D

Thats a really good list Dean. I'd be hard pushed to find only 33 . Once I stared to find songs I'd just keep going. Bur then again I am nuts  :D
The other one feeds on my hesitation
Grows inside of my trepidaton
Buries his claws in my dislocation
I whisper your name to lose control
