Best thing I bought last week.
Join the Dots, a four-disc set of b-sides and rarities from The Cure, with liner notes including many insights and observations from Robert Smith.
Soooooo good! In addition to the music (many tracks of which I loved when released on the cassette - yes, cassette! -- version of Standing on the Beach) the liner notes are very detailed and interesting. The things that are remembered and revealed about these obscure tracks are pretty amazing, especially when The Cure's well-known penchant for hard partying is taken into account. I can barely remember my freshman year of college, though I doubt I have come close to ever living the lifestyle of an actual rock star.
I also bought the soundtrack to "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" last week, but haven't even opened it yet.
