“That song [Friday I'm In Love] if you put it with their greatest hits, it fits right in. To the point where I had forgotten it was a 90s song - I thought it was an 80s song, released much earlier than it was, it sort of took me aback.”

Episode Summary

Ending the 1980s with the creative one-two punch of Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Disintegration, like many of their alternative college rock counterparts, The Cure were poised for global superstardom at the start of the next decade. Filled with compilations, live albums, and contributions to various soundtracks, the band managed two proper albums - 1992's Wish, which featured the now ubiquitous single "Friday, I'm In Love," and the polarizing "Wild Mood Swings," whose title accurately describes the inconsistent sound and musical approach.   Songs In This Episode: Intro - A Letter To Elise (from Wish) 16:48 - Never Enough (from Mixed Up) 26:03 - Friday, I'm In Love (from Wish) 47:19 - The 13th (from Wild Mood Swings) Outro - Maybe Someday (from Bloodflowers)   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
