Official video – but for how long? We first visited the “Mix 13″ remix of this song a couple of weeks ago. It hasn’t changed significantly since that time. That said, in this trip through The Cure’s work, its the … Continue reading
Live: There are some musically interesting things going on in “Switch.” While I confess that I like the song better on headphones than over speakers, its another one that doesn’t really hit the spot for me. Indeed, while I don’t … Continue reading
