I'll give this a shot. I don't know anything about The Cure so what's a good recommendation?

also, i'd totally be game to do a second song in collaboration. i'd love to hit one of the lesser referenced tracks, like something from "the top", "wild mood swings", or even from the "join the dots" box set.

I would love to hear you do the song "39" (from their album "Bloodflowers").

Thanks CR. I was actually considering this one. It's a toss up between this one, Object, or Three Imaginary Boys.

Thanks Niv. Good song but a little too long for what I do. Would be a fun challenge though.

bloodflowers has a few great songs with that sort of feel. "maybe someday" is a shorter, more accessible option.

I have literally zero free time to do anything, so I won't commit to this.
I'd love to be a part of it though.
I've always wanted to record a version of "Wrong Number".
If anybody else wants the song who will actually do it, feel free.
If not, I might eventually get around to it.

90% finished my "Primary" cover. It sounds a bit "Johnny Cash goes Goth"

Currently eating curry in Thailand. Will finish off when I get home in a week or so.

Yeah, I haven't gotten farther than "maybe I'll use some banjo..." for mine. Comparatively distant deadline is comparatively distant.

The new game is to guess what Cure song Ross regularly does as part of his live thing.
