In case anyone didn't know (I didn't) The Cure has released a 4 cd boxed-set with all their b-sides, rarities, and all that crap that they can't wait to sell and some of us can't wait to get.
Go here for further details.

Thanks... I think I've listened to the Tindersticks, but wasn't impressed...Don't tell me they're Cure-like? I didn't notice...Quote:

BTW, have you ever listened to Tindersticks? [/B]
I didn't know about the rarities cd, but I'm still not familiar with a lot of their most known stuff, I'd get a rarity thing if I was really hopelessly into them... (I want a Depeche Mode rarity box, I really do... I also need a reason to open a DM thread :D) This doesn't mean that if you want to buy me it, I wouldnt appreciate it... :D:D:D
Well, not really. They're a bit more like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (with obvious differences). I mentioned them because of the depression thing. They excel at that. :)Quote:

Go ahead, open one, I'm sure nobody will mind. With all that threads going on (word game, necrophilia, brown paper bags and many others), a Depeche Mode thread would be a breath of fresh air. On the Cure box, I think it's more plausible that you buy us both one. I mean, the euro is more than three times my currency. :( Gotta say thanks for p2p music.Quote:

Where the hell are you then???
Well in my country Mr. Euro made the prices double, so it's unlikely I buy anything I don't really need. I've never bought many cds because they cost way too much, I have only the ones I really really wanted (well I have many more since some thing you mentioned exist... :D) (sssshhhh)
(wow my 666th post... the evil one ;))
I'm in South America.
Mr. Euro is getting popular by the minute, have you noticed? What you should do is save all the euros you can (for as long as you can), and then go to live to a third world country. It triples your savings. :cool:
I wanted to do that, but hey, I was born in the wrong hemisphere. ;)
Oh, is it that country whose not happy destiny we (as Italy) will follow very soon?
Well I'm saving as many Mr. Euros as I can (currently working a lot and in the middle of an exams session...i wonder if I'll survive the whole month) to go and live in a civilised country...which by definition is more expensive than this one. I don't think Italy is far from being third world, ok economically we are somehow among the most powerful ones (and I really wonder how... the main industries are collapsing to pieces anyway, mainly because their owners managed to hide and steal amounts of money I can't even imagine), but as for mentality and general organisation, I feel like I live in the Middle Ages.:rolleyes:
Yeah, I havn't been to very much of Italy (just Venice) but I wasn't real impressed. I would love to give Flourence a fair shot though! I used to really want to go to Rome, but the more I travel, the less impressive Rome looks from here.
Could be. Which one did you have in mind?Quote:

Italy still remains as a powerful country when it comes to economics (for the time being at least). I think the same could be said about organisation. You should see what the politicians have done to my country in the last decades. All the few things that work well were designed like 50 years ago!Quote:

Regarding mentality, well, what can I say, everyone makes mistakes. Some lucky societies do it less often and learn the most from them. This isn't the case, probably. I admit I was deeply surprised when Berlusconi won the elections, but I can't really talk. My country's elected much worse scum than that in the past years. :mad:
as has mine.
let's not touch *that* topic, I get mad just at the thought... I lost the faith in my country when that happened.
The one Madonna didn't want to cry for her :D:D:DQuote:

Yep, that's the one. You don't have bonds of our debt, do you?
Not sure what you mean but I used to have a soft spot for that country (now I'm just less passionate, but I still like it.). You guys down there have a wonderful accent!
I used to want to move there during summer, cos you have winter...and be back here when it's winter, so I have winter all year :D
Gracias, che. ;)
Winter all the year, what a wonderful thought.
I'm bringing back this old topic cos I got to know that the Cure will play at a festival in italy in june and i'm bloody tempted to go and see them!!!
