The Cure - Close to Me

You don't know this (unless you know me in person, probably) but one of my favorite bands is The Cure. The first cd I found of theirs was Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. It was in my mom's collection and I listened to the whole thing just sitting in my parents' room with a pair of giant headphones on. Later Mom wanted to know what I was listening to... I think she decided that I was a little too young to get most of it, but she liked that I appreciated the music. We both love Like Cockatoos. However, I'm featuring a different song.

The Cure - "Close to Me" not the full track.. video is full song though ^_^ strange video, but it makes me laugh

I'm back to my fun songs, I suppose. That's part of why I chose this song to feature over "Like Cockatoos" I wanted to get back into the swing of things with a beat - you know, something you can dance to. If you happen to have heard of Sufjan Stevens, you might recognize the tune here. Sufjan sort of did a tribute to this song in the song "Come On! Feel the Illinoise!" That's also a good song.
I think I'm just going to start using Youtube to link songs... it's a little more reliable, I think.
But in any case, I think you should check out all of the songs I mentioned. "Close to Me" is still the one I want to highlight the most right now, but they're all great.


Outside of the music, well, no, this has to do with music - just not the ones I talked about, but anyway. I think I'm getting to attend a Modest Mouse Concert really soon. I'm pretty excited. The trouble is whether or not I'll be working. So I'm crossing my fingers, lol.

I hope you're all having a great day, whether or not you take the time to read this thing. It's just something random I started to pass the time, I guess. :)
