ICYMI - The livestream of the album release show was absolutely wonderful. They seemed as pleased to be sharing the new album live with us as we were thrilled to finally hear it. I was personally happily yelling at the perfect surprise addition of “Secrets” to the setlist. So happy this is online to watch this exciting moment in Cure history!!

Because of the livestream recording, I wasn't able to get into the Photo Pit as I had hoped -- BUT -- This unexpected shift pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me the opportunity to make magic happen from the balcony! This is a slight departure from my usual style, but I do hope you enjoy the results.. As someone AMAZING once told me, "Creativity is born from limitations.." More coming... X

Definitely not all of 17 Seconds, but the inclusion of “Secrets” was a gift, for sure.

Same, RS, same.

THE CURE’s ROBERT SMITH says he’s NOCTURNAL.

During an interview with Jo Whiley for BBC Radio 2 ahead of The Cure’s performance this past Wednesday (Oct. 30), frontman Robert Smith shared that he chooses to “live at night” and has even trained his sheep to do the same.

“I’ve got the only nocturnal sheep in Britain, seriously I’ve trained them to,” he said “I’m trying to train them because, apparently, you can’t train sheep but I’m determined. I’ve trained one of my sheep to shake hands, seriously! No honestly at night, I will probably post at some point before the end of the year […] another viral moment for me! I can’t get ‘em to talk but they do listen though, they’re very good listeners.”

As far as his own nocturnal lifestyle: “I do live at night. I mean, my reason for being in a band was primarily so I didn’t have to get up for work, it really is. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to endure a boss and I didn’t ever think I’d be able to get anywhere on time in the morning… I couldn’t at school. It was like no, my mum’s voice just every day ringing up the stairs ‘You’ve got five minutes till that bus!’ One day I don’t have to do this.

“So it’s weird because the others all get up, they’re all daytime people and I honestly, I go to bed at like… I do listen to the Breakfast Show and I do watch the sun come out, and then I go to bed. I wasn’t joking, that’s actually how I live. […] It bothers me round about January, I start to get really miserable, oh if you think I’m miserable, God January! I don’t see daylight over the whole of January, so sometimes that gets to me… I don’t know, I just like being out at night.”

It was a huge honour for me to play on Disintegration and be such a big part of the sound of the record. To us at the time it was just the next Cure record none of us knew it would come to define the group. This award came out of nowhere and it’s amazing to be a part of the best 100 albums of all time…. Very humbling

My life long favorite band is the best band live, imo. Always worth seeing them as many times as possible.

Robert Smith says The Cure play three-hour concerts because he doesn't want to "short-change" fans, as he explains in a new interview with NPR:

Adam Ant is 70 years old today!!!

Back in 2014, I worked in Times Square. Everyday out there I’d see random artists on the street with the same old obvious art of musicians like The Beatles, Bob Marley, etc (great musicians that I love but just clearly the same ones that have been depicted in fan art for decades). I thought to myself, “why doesn’t anybody paint these other incredible musicians that I love?” So I went back to my apartment in Brooklyn, took out my paint brushes for the first time in a couple years and started to paint Adam Ant. I posted progress shots of it on instagram and suddenly, out of nowhere, people I didn’t know started to comment and follow me. Ten years later, I haven’t stopped painting the things I love and I always consider Adam Ant to be the first time I painted a portrait for myself without a care of whether or not others around me would like it. Luckily they did
