I’ve now been waiting thirteen years for The Cure to release their follow up to their last album.

I’m too old to have heard of any of these albums! :sob:

There’s Frank Black song that starts with the line “The islands of Phoenix in 2016”. I first heard that song in 1994 when 2016 seemed like some futuristic far off time but it is now five years ago

I started feeling old when people in bands all started being younger than me rather than these cool older figures. But now an 18 year old pop star would have been born in 2003. I remember 2003. I don’t feel much different to then in myself really. I was going to festivals and watching bands and going to the pub. To them it may be how the 80s felt to me at the time, this distant remote thing.
