In case you didn't see it, interesting interview with Robert Smith in these series of the BBC. The also video includes a clip of live performance of "Boys Don't Cry" from the Hurrah nightclub in New York (1980), The Cure's first trip to America.

"Of all the British bands associated with post punk in the US none would enjoy the enduring success of The Cure and Depeche Mode"

There are also some rare photos with Debbie Harris (Blondie). Interesting what Bob thought at that time: "I refused to stand anywhere near them (Blondie), they represented a sound that was too pop and too kind of "ephemeral"
