In this episode of Subterranean on MTV2, Jim Shearer interviewed Robert Smith of The Cure. They have a new live DVD, "The Cure Festival 2005," featuring 30 songs from their European concerts last year.Here's the playlist for episode #177:
The Cure - Mint Car
Secret Machines - Lightning Blue Eyes
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion
The Cure - Inbetween Days
Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla
Wolfmother - Dimension
The Cure - Never Enough
Mogwai - Friend Of The Night
The Cure - Hot, Hot, Hot
Good selection of videos, nice and varied. I love The Cure and really look up to Robert Smith, so the interview was good stuff. That's about all I have to say about this episode, 'cause I was going back and forth between this and the KROQ webcast (see below).

I appreciate the playlists, but they aren't excatly complete. You list 'Cure - Never Enough' which would lead anyone to think it was the vintage video, instead it was a brand new clip from the Festival DVD. You did the same thing last time with Muse - Starlight that was really from the 2006 European Music Awards. Please make a note when something is new or a different version.
On another note it seemed like Robert was on maybe 5 minutes total. What the heck is the point of forcing us to watch the rest online, just show it on the damn TV!
I love Robert Smith! I got a second chance to record and see the Yeah yeah yeah's goldlion, and Wolfmother's Dimension. Woo!
The Cure to me means discovering California in the late 1980's. They have a radio station out of San Diego that played all the newest stuff. The sun and surf, I feel in love with a place. The Cure reminds me of skateboarding, Oceanside, Ca, and Mission Beach, Ca,. I do not consider them a Goth band, nothing against Goth. Marilyn Manson’s first 3 albums are out of sight. I always thought of Marilyn Manson’s 1st 3 CDs motivational like. I feel the same way about my bros: A.R.E. Weapons.
Oh Yea Wolfmother! Yep. Can anyone send me a demo. I need food more. I am a starving artist.
If someone could post the nominees for the best video of 2006 that would be nice, I accidently clicked out and went back and they had just taken down that page, pissed me off.
I have to agree with some of the previous comments - i dont consider The Cure a goth band either. If you look back at their catalogue of work it varies so much over the years.
