Imbalanced History: The Cure's Never Ending Story
The story of The Cure is a long tale, stretching back to the 1970s, which may surprise some people. Markus leads an early days exploration, as he and Ray weigh in on their personal intersections with the band.
As they discuss the music, the Imbalanced Boys also identify future sonic signatures, in early recordings, that led to their massive, and continuing, success!
There's focus on Robert Smith, the central, and sole continuous figure in the group, as part of the telling of the story.
We considered a shotgun 5 Favorites, but thought, maybe we can do that in our next episode about The Cure!

Love That Album - Interview with Cary Baker about the book "Down On The Corner: Adventures In Busking And Street Music"
It's been said that the mark of a great city is how it promotes the arts.
Thinking specifically about busking or street performing, some cities
actively encourage musicians to perform in parks, streets, and other
outdoor surrounds. THAT is a town devoted to the arts.
Welcome to episode 186 of Love that Album.
Cary Baker is a native of Chicago who has had a great career in music
publicity and has worked with some of the most well known bands in
the US during his stint at IRS and Capitol records. However, his
passion has always been with those musicians who performed on street
corners or at markets. He's written a great new book called Down On
The Corner: Adventures in Busking and Street Music.
He tells a bit about his own origins with buskers and how that led to
much of the work that followed. Many famous artists started out as
buskers before gaining popularity in the more conventional spheres of
the music loving world. The vast majority of busking musicians,
however, continue to perform for years on city streets, with that
being the means to an end. Cary's book is American-centric with a
little bit of a look “across the pond” as Americans call it, but
it's still a fascinating look at the stories behind musicians you
know and many you don't.
Cary joins me to tell some of the stories from the book as well as his own
origins at Maxwell Street Market in Chicago.. We had a great
conversation. This could have gone for a couple of hours, but time
didn't allow for it, but I really love what's there, and hope you do
too.
This is the documentary that we discuss in the show:

Ugly American Werewolf in London: Iron Maiden Live in Stockholm X2 - Run For Your Lives Tour
When Iron Maiden announced they'd be doing the Run For Your Lives Tour in 2025-26, The Wolf & Action Jackson knew they would have to go see a couple of shows. And when there were only European dates announced for 2025, they knew they needed to dust off their passports because there was no way they would be able to wait 2 years to see the boys on what could be their biggest and best (perhaps last?) greatest hits tour ever. So they chose Stockholm as their European venue because 1) They'd never been to Sweden and 2) Iron Maiden played 2 nights there. Plus the Wolf Cub had been promised by her father that he'd take her to see Maiden in Europe once she was old enough (but was she? Swedish authorities didn't think so but we came up with a work-around).
Stockholm was an enchanting land full of beautiful people and a packed house full of Iron Maiden fans for 2 nights of heavy metal classics. We were revved up by Lzzy Hale and Halestorm who held their own on the stage and then treated to the best setlist The Wolf has seen in 30 years of seeing the band live. As The Wolf marked his 9th and 10th IM shows, they were the first without Nicko McBrain on the drums as the band introduced Simon Dawson to the family (though most knew him from Steve Harris' side project British Lion).
Besides the Eddies who came out to have fun with the band, the real show was the new video screen behind the stage and on the amplifiers. It set the backdrop for the song like showing the Eiffel Tower during Murders in the Rue Morgue or a creepy graveyard for Fear of the Dark. But they also created some more interactive movies for epics like Rhime of the Ancient Mariner and Hallowed Be Thy Name. While the boys played lights out, the screen enhanced the experience and understanding of the lyrics for folks from the front row to the back of the house. Two truly magic nights in Stockholm which only left us wondering when (and where) would we see our heavy metal heroes again.
