the cure were a "gateway drug" band for many indie-kids my age and - along with the smiths and cocteau twins - were my way into alternative music. they were the second gig i ever went to (birmingham odeon, 1984, "the top" tour). "six different ways" was on their seminal 1985 album," the head on the door", which was when they really perfected their unique mix of mainstream pop and goth weirdness. personally, i preferred the peel session version of this song, which i taped off the radio. the tape eventually wore out, but with the wonders of the internet, some kind soul has uploaded it here.
the full album is finished and been delivered to where it's at is where you are ready for release on new year's eve. can't wait!
