White Rabbit to Publish Extensive Biography of The Cure

Over the past five decades, The Cure have created a musical mythology and canonical body of work that straddles the worlds of music, film and art, which continues to resonate with audiences around the world with their irreverent, defiant and mythical spirit.

On 9 November, the UK’s leading music book imprint White Rabbit will publish Curepedia: An A-Z of The Cure - an encyclopedic biography of The Cure written by one of the UK’s greatest music writers Simon Price with a foreword by Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite and illustrations by Andy Vella - the designer behind The Cure’s iconic visual identity for the past 30 years.  Curepedia is the definitive guide to the band’s past and present, painting a comprehensive portrait of the band’s inimitable legacy, politics, image and rich cultural influences from existentialist writers like Albert Camus; Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast series set in a decaying Gothic castle; to the menacing literary, musical and cinematic connotations behind ‘A Forest’ - a definitive, epically long single that has mutated over the years through series of covers.

Yo La Tengo Sings A Cure Cover At The End Of The World

...I'm not entirely sure if they are making fun of The Cure or just came up with a hysterical concept and said "Fuck it...WE RIDE!!" Whatever the case may be, Yo La Tengo's latest music video featuring a cover of The Cure's "Friday I'm In Love" is just a little slice of brilliance on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. With shocking, Japanese-horror levels of violence as backdrop to a completely ridiculous premise, this is a video you'll be showing all your friends by day's end. Watch it now!
