The Cranberries cover 'Inbetween Days'

The Cranberries will be covering 'Inbetween Days' on French television show Taratata tonight at 11:50 pm on France 2. (Thanks Vincent)

Update: Well, here it is. Aired tonight, but recorded on January 19th, 2012. (Thanks @ElectroMoonLite)

Cure clips at ina.fr

Update: Another tip from Perfect.Murder - "For those who absolutely have to see everything (yeah, me too :)), there are about 15 or so tv adverts which aired during the 90s and 00s. Go to"Recherchez sur ina.fr" (right handside of screen) type in "the cure" and replace "video" by "publicite" then in the box below in "Affiner la recherche publicite" click on 'Medias et editions (30). And voila!!....short ads from French tv...........ah the good old days!" Also, this direct link might work for you.

I've already posted many of the other Cure clips from ina.fr, but figured I'd collect them all in one place for those who might have missed them:

Reading & Leeds teaser


So, can anyone make anything out of this image? (Thanks John)
Update: Hmm, I think that image is actually last year's poster. I can make out Muse and My Chemical Romance, I think.

In other R & L news, NME reports that everyone who buys a weekend ticket gets a free beer & burger. : )

Making of the 'Just Like Heaven' video

Video clip posted at Ina.fr - Robert talks about the making of the 'Just Like Heaven' video & working with Mary (Rapido - Sept. 10th, 1987). And here's another clip.

If you'd like to buy the video, here's how: "create an account, then choose the vid you like and click "telecharger"(download) or "graver sur dvd"(burn on dvd)...it directs you to a site where you leave your credit card details, then it takes a couple of minutes to download and you're done." (Thanks Perfect.Murder)

And some stills that were sent to me yesterday from the full 37 min special.

Happy Birthday, NME!

NME turns 60 today, and John at On Nights Like This posted some of his Cure covers from various years, and this photo of his favorite issue (mine, too!).

Beware of Ultra Music Festival ticket scam

From The Cure on Facebook: "THE CURE ARE NOT PLAYING IN MIAMI 2012 - TICKETS ADVERTISED FOR THIS EVENT ARE A SCAM"
That is in response to some listings that had The Cure playing Ultra Music Festival in Miami this month.
