Friday I'm In Love: The Cure (Premiere Episode)

Meagan Masingill and Bret Miller continue with their live events following the departure of Greg Peters. So a name change from Vapour Trail Live was in order. We all love The Cure and with the impending release of their new album Songs of A Lost World, and the fact that the band has a song with Friday in the name, we thought the most obvious thing to do would be to call our show Friday I'm In Love!

 

For our premiere, we picked songs from The Cure focusing on B-Sides and Covers, plus plenty of choice album cuts and remixes/extended versions. We also played requests from Greg Peters, Mindy Scurto, Mark Cross, Kathy Diaz, Craig Tigwell and Meagan's mom.

 

Friday I'm in Love can be heard live on Eardrum Buzz Radio on the first and third Fridays beginning in November at 6pm Pacific time. Check your time zone differences, come and join us to chat at the top pinned post at www.facebook.com/groups/eardrumbuzzradio and enjoy three hours of music new and old.

 

Join us Friday November 1st for songs from Depeche Mode and current and former members, along with lots of covers!
