It's a breakneck, infectious anthem that teeters on the edge of all-out collapse.
It's got a lurid, morbid cover courtesy of #FrancisBacon.
It's a double-A release where the other side could have been a single in its own right and has turned up in conspiracy theories.
It kicks!
On this day in 1982 #TheSistersofMercy released 'Body Electric' as their second single.
slimepost-generator on tumblr: "it's ok to keep secrets, everybody has some skeletons in the closet. Wraiths in the attic. Ghosts in the bedroom. Mummy in the kitchen. Enchanted armor on the stairs. Slimes in the basement. Maybe a giant spider in the backyard. Beholder or two in the garage. Vampires are also in the closet" slimepost-generator: "my house is very unsafe"
Grieves on the line? Yep the UK train network is bracing itself for a mass exodus of #Goths to #Whitby this weekend! Check out my thoughts on the #blog right now...
“good news boss, our romanceable women all share one trait we are sure will appeal to the playerbase”
“great, what is it?”
“cannibalism”
“… who exactly do you think plays our games”

A comic by Kate Beaton. In it someone suggests she do a comic about the letters James Joyce sent to Nora Barnacle. Kate looks them up on her laptop and instantly looks HORRIFIED. She then has nightmares where Joyce appears saying "I wrote you a letter" and Kate cringes in her sleep saying "get away from me James Joyce". His letters to Nora were infamously scatalogical!

I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

Dracula Flow meme Thеy needed a stealth soldier, so I put my hands on the hibachi hot plate at Benihana and burned my fuckin' fingerprints off. They will not find me.
Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."
On this day in 1992, #TheCure released their ninth studio album, "Wish".
It received positive reviews upon release, including a four-star review in Rolling Stone that stated: "For its cult of millions, the Cure offers the only kind of optimism that makes sense."
Also a reminder that Robert Smith has consistently leveraged against ludicrous ticket pricing, including obtaining refunds for fans who were conned with added on fees.
Fascinated by proper pop icons like Robert Smith and Prince, who seem to have woken up one day, thought 'I have an idea for a Look' and just 100% nailed it. Like that Look was already out there and they just walked into it somehow.
Many happy returns to #RobertSmith of #TheCure - born this day in 1959
"I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul."
