We're Not in Love, I promise, we just run this blog.

This is DJ LionFace signing in here to bring you guys a new MP3/video/remix/something y'all probably heard about. dj dan thinks that he's on the blogosphere, but I am pretty sure he hasn't even heard of Crystal Castles, or the Cure, since he likes the Smiths, tape decks, and stupid shit like that that can break. Digital MP3's can't break, unless I can't figure out how to embed the video like he did on the post before, I don't really feel like asking him, thus making me look foolish, so whatever.


This is a new mix to a Crystal Castles song, and Robert Smith (totally riding off the "I was a freaky dude then, how freaky do you think I am now?" wave) added vocals, giving us "Not in Love" which after a few listens I can't tell if it is the greatest song of all time, worst song of all time, or if it just sounds like what the Cure wanted to be in the 1980s.

Really digging it the more I listen to it. Sorta feel like this was the song that Robert Smith was trying to write for his entire career. 

"We are not in love" gotta love that line, right?
Wonder who he is singing to?
Wonder how much better this sounds to melodramatic high school kids walking home cranking it through their iPods tapping the rewind button each time the track gets close to ending. I know I did that shit with Cure songs.
Are there even still Cure kids around?
Did Robert Smith show Johnny Barrechord the 'wakkawakka' pedal on "How Soon is Now?"
Can Robert Smith even 'play' guitar?
If Pete Wentz <3's the Cure, what cookie cutter emo band <3's the Smiths?
Is Crystal Castles the best band of all time?
Are they going to save us?

Are these recycled lyrics from every Cure song of all time? Like that High School Creative Writing Project where you make a story out of song titles:

"When you coming home?"
"Its cold outside"
"When you coming home?"
"Its hot inside"
"I'm not in love" x a million
(in audible vocals about the temperature)
"We're not in love"

Did English Club DJ's who hung themselves to Smith's songs circa 1990 probably mix music that sounded exactly like this, but since everyone was rolling nobody even knew?
