When I was in college, all the hot girls had the Cure singles collection. If you wanted to make time, you had to be willing to sit through Cure albums. Over time, the Eurosadness grew on me. Hence, today’s tribute . . . There’s a zip file included in the alphabet, as always. If you like this, please drop a comment and Digg/Stumble/etc.

A is for A Forest and B is for Bat for Lashes.  When you see B4L, you pretty much don’t need to ask any questions.

C is for Charlotte Sometimes-Lesbos in Love.

D is for Dinosaur Jr.-Just Like Heaven.  Not great quality, but it’s Dino J!

E is for Elk City-Close to Me.  I really dig this one, for some reason.

F is for Friday I’m in Love-Counting Crows.

F is also for the fat lesbian in the picture to the left . . .

G is for is for David Gray’s take on Friday I’m in Love.

H is for Hired Hands-Close to Me. The James Brown funk/R&B version. Interesting.

I is for the inhumanity in David Sugar’s electronica version of Just Like Heaven.  Brrrr!  So cold!

J is for Just Like Heaven-Equaleyes. Kind of a Counting Crows take on the much-covered tune.

K is for Friday I’m In Love-Kurtis Peoples.  I know he spells it with a “C” , but I’m desperate for a K.

L is for Love Song-Death Cab for Cutie

M is for A Forest-Mood Doculators. Very long, trippy jam. The Cure does lend themselves to jamband covers, oddly enough.

N and O are for NO songs for N and O.

P is for Love Song-Proper Gander. There’s a bit of crowd noise on this one, but it’s still very clear. I really enjoy this take on the song. It takes it into the “classic rock” sound, out of mope rock.

Q is for quirky Tori Amos doing Love Song.

R is for Razorlight-Boys Don’t Cry.

S is for So Human (Cure remix)-Lady Sovereign

T is for Just Like Heaven-Tristan Prettyman. A very sweet acoustic take. Love this version.

V is for Vengeance . . . Close to Me (Vengeance Mash Up)-Lil’ Wayne vs. The Cure.

W is for Just Like Heaven-The Watson Twins.  Don’t miss this slow, sad version.  Hot stuff.

W is for Why?’s cover of “Close to Me.”  They’re going for a creepyslow thing here.

XYZ are for X-amine Your Zipflile, right here!
