This is a blog about recreational hobbies that I am interested in (music, TV, movies, books). I also talk about what's on my mind or things that happen in life around me.
Please feel free to post comments; I want this to be an interactive dialogue.

Today (April 22nd) marks the thirtieth anniversary of The Top, the fifth studio album from the Cure. Here in the US, it spent four weeks on the Billboard Album chart, peaking at number 180. Around the globe, it did much better; it went to number 55 in Australia, number 31 in Sweden, number 23 in New Zealand, number 12 in the Netherlands and number 10 in the UK.
This week marks the thirtieth anniversary of the release of the Cure's fourth studio album; Pornography was released on May 3rd, 1982. Chart-wise, the album went to number 45 in Sweden, number 81 in France, number 9 in New Zealand and number 8 in the band's native UK. Many consider this one the most gothic records by the group due to dark lyrics and heavy musical sounds. The album was included on the list of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
