One week // one band
I was hankering for The Cure this week and went back to re-read Chris Ott’s terrific posts on the One Week / One Band blog, from about a year ago. Highly recommended for anyone whose emotional life was tied to one or more Cure songs at age 15.
Daddy was a real good dancer

He has an album out on Dust to Digital, and here’s a video of a song from it showing him with some of his visual art.
