I run a little art prompt project for fans of The Cure, called the CureArtsCollab. Inspired by Inktober on IG, we started with Curetober in 2022, and have worked up to posting monthly Cure-themed art prompts. I posted this month's prompt yesterday, #thecuremixtapes2025. Here's the Call for Entries.

#Curetober 31: finishing with *the* Cure anthem. First time I saw the Cure live was the Wish warm up tour in May 92, and this extended arrangement of A Forest floored me: the improvised nods back to so many previous works, that epic climax... From the live 1992 VHS Show (but stupidly, not the album)

#Curetober 30 is How Beautiful You Are, from Kiss Me, otherwise known as Robert Smith's finest lyric. You know a song starting "you want to know why I hate you", despite that title, is gonna be a treat: closing "no one ever knows or loves another" only adds to this. Found a lyric video too, yay!

Kinda predictable.

#Curetober 29 is the hazy, menacing Anniversary from 2005's The Cure. An unfairly maligned album, it was in turns the angriest, wisest, saddest and overall inspired that Robert Smith had sounded in *years*. The closest they ever got to shoegaze, this hits like a chill on a hot summer night.
October 30, 2024 at 2:08 PM
#Curetober 28 is the magnificent A Night Like This, a towering highlight from The Head On The Door. Simultaneously melancholic and uplifting, it even gets away with a non-more-80s sax solo. Sums up the accessible yet creatively rewarding ethos of the whole album in one quintessential Cure track:
October 30, 2024 at 12:32 AM
From one glorious closing #Curetober track to another, 27 finished both 1979's debut Three Imaginary Boys and (much cheaper for teenage fans in the days of cassettes or LPs) the 1980 Boys Don't Cry comp. 10:15 may be more iconic, but this is the best pointer to the wonders young Cure had in them
October 29, 2024 at 6:27 PM
It's odd that 84's The Top is so divisive: yes it's unfocused and messy, but Shake Dog Shake is a quintessential Cure opener, Bird Mad Girl and Dressing Up top drawer winsome Smith poppery, Give Me It, Wailing Wall and The Empty World proper gnashing angst. Oh, have an epic closer for #Curetober 26
October 28, 2024 at 6:30 PM
#Curetober 25 is In Your House, from 1980's Seventeen Seconds. Drenched in mist, the album was the harbinger of the original "dark trilogy" of albums, while simultaneously laden throughout with catchy hooks and slinky moves. This was a mood Smith would go on to master through the years.
October 28, 2024 at 1:28 AM
#Curetober 24 is Sinking, the closer from 85's Head On The Door. A dizzy spin of moods, but given Inbetween Days opens "Yesterday I got so old", it shouldn't be surprising that aged only 26, Robert was already preoccupied with aging. More surprising was the return to 17 Seconds/Faith era melancholy
October 27, 2024 at 12:54 AM
#Curetober 23, on the other hand, is (sorta) unofficial Cure live. Muddy and muffled, and only officially on The Cure Play Out video from 1991. The Big Hand would go on to be an overproduced b-side for A Letter To Elise a year later, but for winter 91 my bootleg copy soundtracked many a late night.
October 25, 2024 at 2:04 AM
#Curetober 22 is the devastating live version of Homesick, from Entreat. The original is dense and claustrophobic, but this version is simultaneously lighter in tone while drenched in haunting, atmospheric feedback. One of the finest official documents of The Cure as a live force.
October 24, 2024 at 11:31 PM
#Curetober 21 is a bit of a cheat, in that I've picked the last 2 tracks from 1981's Faith. They segue beautifully, the plaintive pull of The Drowning Man's gorgeous lapping vocals followed by the atmospheric gloom of the title track, this was the saddest the Cure had sounded. Until now, anyway.
October 23, 2024 at 12:06 AM
Track 20 of #Curetober is Speak My Language, a b-side to 1983's Lovecats. Rebuilding after they had disintegrated in 82, they were a new band in a new direction, yet still unmistakably The Cure. Even with casual poppy b-sides they were seemingly endlessly creative while still easily accessible.
October 21, 2024 at 2:29 AM
Track 19 of #Curetober now. Much like Want on WMS, The Last Day of Summer from 2000's Bloodflowers was a single moment of wonder in an album that felt strained and overwrought. The great Cure themes are all in this song: bittersweet reflection wrapped in a delicious melancholic fug.
October 20, 2024 at 10:53 AM
Track 18 of #Curetober, and the opening track from 1996's Wild Mood Swings. The bumpy start to a new, less frequent version of The Cure, Want was the glorious opener to a sprawling, unfocused collection of mostly lacklustre songs, peppered with the odd gem. The imperial run was definitely over.
October 20, 2024 at 12:58 AM
Track 17 of #Curetober, and I give you the stark, intense Siamese Twins from 1982's Pornography. A lot of the phrasing could be considered histrionic, but you never fail to believe Robert was feeling these things. The Cure have rarely sounded this emotionally raw.
October 19, 2024 at 3:37 AM
For track 16 of #Curetober I've gone for The Snakepit, from 1987's Kiss Me. Cloyingly claustrophobic, it's a perfect marriage of hypnotic soundscape and Robert's whispered vocals, simultaneously nightmarish and exotic.
October 17, 2024 at 12:10 AM
Track 15 of #Curetober. 1984's The Top is a woozy, psychedelic affair. Messy and unfocused, much like Robert Smith's state of mind at the time. A nod to Tom Waits' Swordfishtrombones, Bananafishbones arrives like a drunken uncle at a wedding, wobbling its unsteady way before finishing with a clatter
October 16, 2024 at 1:59 AM
#Curetober, Day 14 couldn't be further removed from the last one if it tried. Recorded drunk on borrowed studio time, reading details of an offer for an icing set from the back of a sugar packet, it really shouldn't work. It's an exuberant, youthful reveal of The Cure's unfurling popsmithery.
