THE CURE // COVERED

Here is the previously mentioned covers compilation featuring the music of The Cure. Lots of lesser known artists mixed in this time around because quite frankly, they were the best. Also, I wasn’t about to include 40 different versions of “Lovesong”, so the only duplicate tracks included are two very different takes on “Boys Don’t Cry”. Are there some covers that I missed - sure. Most of those were instances of choosing who I felt covered a particular track the best.

So without further ado, here are classic songs by The Cure as re-interpreted by artists over the years.

THE AFTERGLOW : EPISODE 35 (revived)

Those of you who enjoy great mixtapes, are in for a treat this week if i must say so myself. New Vivian Girls, Bibio, Lykke Li, Wye, Oak, and all sorts of other new goodness. There’s even a really solid soundboard recording of a Thom Yorke track that i was desperately hoping would be included on “The King of Limbs” (i’d been waiting for a better quality copy for a while).

Lots of great chillwave, dream pop, fuzzy lo-fi, neo-psych, experimental, and general goodness this week. There’s something for everyone. Once again, thank you for all the support, likes, and reblogs. Thank you. As always, these Afterglow mixes are best heard at night. Make out, drive, study, sleep, or fuck to it. Do whatever you like, but please enjoy it.
