On my last post I mentioned that I got The Cure’s 4:13 Dream and I had a chance to listen to it over the weekend. It’s not too bad, but it’s not Disintegration either. Of course, I don’t think there will ever be another Disintegration, that CD came at a good time in my musical life.

Anyways, a couple songs that caught my attention was Underneath The Stars, The Only One, The Reasons Why, Sirens Song, and The Hungry Ghost. I think these songs had that certain nostalgic Cure sound that I grew up with. If you want something new to listen to from The Cure, then you might want to check this album out. Hardcore Cure fans are probably going to enjoy this album no matter what, but the casual might want to check out some of the songs before hand.

And here’s a video to take you guys back.

This past weekend reminded me why I love the winter months coming up ahead; however, here in California there’s not really a true winter season. To me winter is just a reminder of those calendars in elementary school with the image of the snowman and leaves being swirled up with a bunch of lines symbolizing the cold wind. So, when there’s an actual day of dark overcast skies, a touch of sprinkles and a cool breeze, I tend to enjoy it more.

There’s always been certain songs that I listen to through the years that reminded me of winter, or I should say a California winter. So What I’ve done is made a playlist of songs that reminded me of cool winter bliss. I decided to use the Yahoo Music Player instead of the usual links to the Apple ITunes store. I searched around for a music plugin for Word Press, but couldn’t find one that I trusted and have heard of. I did some research and the Yahoo Music Player was suppose to be real easy to use and it actually really was. I wanted you, the listeners, to experience more than just the 30 second clip of music. Those measly tidbits is not a good representation of what I’m trying to get across here.  Just make sure that you have your javascript turned on and you should be good to go. You can either click on the play arrows, or on the music player that will show up on the bottom of the page. I hope you enjoy the playlist titled Cloudy Days.
