Considering the rather “eh” reaction to their headlining set at Coachella last week (see: Spin Magazine‘s Best & Worst from Coachella), perhaps it’s only appropriate that Robert Smith and The Cure have chosen to focus their memories elsewhere, like the band’s performance at Los Angeles’ Troubadour on December 13, 2008. As you may or may not know, the show was a “MySpace Secret Show,” which basically means nothing now other than the fact that The Cure and MySpace have taken the audio from the 33 song set and put it up for stream on the web.
So, if you either love MySpace – though that’s so 2007 – or have a thing for 50-year-old frontmen (happy birthday Robert Smith!) then head on over to the band’s MySpace right this second and get streaming!
