The blogs i tend to read all have music in common and their regular little items and features and Now Playing will be mine.The idea is to take a CD/album weather it be new or old and play it for a week,then to write any thoughts i have after that week.Yep it's as simple as that.
So the first album of choice will be........

I can remember playing this to death in my younger days and am surprised that i didn't wear the vinyl out.I had been a Cure fan from about the Seventeen Seconds LP when they were relatively still an unknown group and by the time that they got to "Head On The Door" had passed through a few lineups and musical changes.Can remember going to see them on this tour 2 nights in a row and getting to the gigs so early that we sat in wonder in the bar listening to the sound check as Robert Smith walked out of the hall to the t shirt stand to get two "Team Cure 86" shirts and the long drive home in the fog at 10 mph as it was that bad.
This is quite a bitter sweet album for me as it saw The Cure really pass into the mainstream and on to chart success,my obsession would finally die out after the Disintegration album and Prayer tour or did i just grow up!
Will this album remain just as good 25 years later or have the sands of time misted my views.
Wiki Fact # Screw and Six Different Ways have not been played live since the Head tour which i find hard to believe.
