Newbie to your lovely forum says HI and asks...

I bet this has already been asked, but I can't see a sticky thread anywhere!

Before I get stuck in, I'll introduce myself : )
My name is Yasmin Selena Butt. I'm a London lass and have been a huge fan of alternative music since I was 12. The Cure have been one of my all time fave bands for a good few decades. I always get excited when a new album comes out.

I'm a writer and my debut novel GUNSHOT GLITTER came out last month. I have a blog on Wordpress and before quitting my Marketing career to focus on words full-time used to love promoting up and coming bands in London.

Music is a HUGE part of my life!

Right back to The Cure.
I'd love to know what everyone else's fave Cure songs are. Mine change everyday to be honest but today they are:

1. Doing The Unstuck
2 La ment
3. All Cats Are Grey
4. Disintegration
5. The Loudest Sound

I love the positivity of Doing The Unstuck - whenever my friends are having a crap time I send them a You Tube video of the song. I get annoyed when people say The Cure are depressing, some of the most joyous music I've ever heard has been penned by them.

Tell me what yours are?
Yasmin x

My favourites are;
Burn
This Twilight Garden
Others are subject to change ;-)

Burn is a GREAT song!
I remember being really excited when I heard that when I watched The Crow at the cinema, I do believe I got the soundtrack for that song : ) Thanks for the welcome x

Thx for the welcome. Thirty years down a band's career, it IS a bit of a Sophie's Choice situation, picking faves x

Nice! You've made me want to re-visit a couple of tracks I'm less familiar with, I suspect I'll be firing up Spotify for a mooch when I'm back from writing class ; ) Thanks for the welcome. Love your monicker x

Hello Yasmin welcome! I'm new here also. You're into some interesting things. You have a novel out, great! Where can we buy it? Good luck with your writing. I do a little writing, poetry and songwriting. You say you used to promote bands? I'm sure that was quite interesting. I used to be in a band. It's a long story, good times bad times. I could write a book about my time in a band. :)Back to the Cure. It's really hard to pick favourite Cure songs. But here are some of my favourites:

The Drowning Man
Strange Day
Just like Heaven
Lovesong
A Forest
Out of this World

Hello you! You sound really interesting yourself Ms Rose. Do you have a blog? Tell me, viz picking fave songs!

I really love the album Disintegration and I'm listening to their Bestival set on Spotify and it's opened with Plainsong. Reminds me of being in my 20s, tis gorgeous!

Yes! Gunshot Glitter is out on Amazon ( worldwide on Kindle/Apps) at the moment but will soon be widening distribution. You can read the opener here, the site also has features, short stories, poems, interviews. I'm also an artist, but first and foremost a writer.

http://yasminselenabutt.wordpress.com/2012/08/24/gunshot-glitter-chapter-1-the-birthday-present/

I worked with an amazing American talent, Celene Petrulak on the cover. The novel in a nutshell is the story of an incinerated boy who never quite goes away, it's contemporary fiction.

The Cure feature in a cultural context, the two lead characters are huge fans and fall in love with them as a backdrop in their lives.

I hope you enjoy what you find. There is whacking, great free sample om Amazon : ) x
