      Why do I feel like I'm in the waiting room of my dentist's office? Is Kenny G on the playlist, too? THE CURE- THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE.

      I hate this quirky bullshit that you always post, enough of this gay shit already, man up Perez

      worst publicity photo EVER!

      I'm not as stupid as you've made me out to be…
      I assure you, this isn't for the masses… it's BARELY for drugged out college students.

      It would go well on a Baby Einstein CD.

      Whatever, I like it. It's comforting and easy to listen to. Nice for the fall season.

      kinda boaring

      Shut.The.Fuck.Up.About.Music.
      You have NO clue

      So previsible. Makes me want to play "A Short Term Effect" really really really loud. Ever heard A Short Term Effect, Perez?

      Amen! No substitute for The Cure.

      That version was on an episode of How I met your mother like 3 years ago.

      depressing and BORING. Howard Stern Fight Week is much more uplifting.
      let:s be honest. . .

      If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

      uhh… nice picture…?

      stripped-down covers make me want to hurl, they're so predictable and boring.



    17. 17

      Hi Perez ! Just wanted to say I logged into your website just to tell you I LOVE your "listen to this" section, I always go straight to itunes after reading and listening to your suggestions ;) Cheers and bless your ears ;)

      Why would you do that to The Cure? It was a great song as it stands, didn't need a generation ADD to cover it.

      Nice Elliott Smith voice over attempt. Generation ADD needs to do covers of the music from the late 90s… Leave The Cure, The Smiths, and many others alone.

      To make it easier, any song from the 80s that sounded great… Do not cover it!

      Colin Oberst like melancholy sappy crap. I wanted to like it because that picture was so fun.

      Re: notatweengirl – This is an abomination to Robert Smith, Dude! I almost thought it might be cute until I heard is fx'd voice. I would like this version if R.S. sang it maybe? Why lie and say you have "The Cure"?



    21. 21

      *does the gay Damon Wayons voice of Men on Film* HATED IT!!!….



    22. 22

      No sé por qué tanta mala onda, la canción es buena. Por supuesto no es apta para metaleros dogmáticos finlandeses ni para R&B junkies.



    23. 23

      I hate this twee crap your always promoting.



    24. 24

      Ugh… I just threw up a little



    25. 25

      Do this hipsters wankers ever try to do something different with their music?! They all sound the same!!



    26. 26

      I thought it as lovely, and listened to it 4 times, thanks for sharing this Perez. ;)



    27. 27

      okay this probably won't get read, but I feel it is my duty to say that while this is a good cover of this song, Grant Lee-Phillips did a far better cover in the same style a few years ago. This is good, but the Lee-Phillips version is definitely worth a listen!



    28. 28

      not a good remake.

      Byes dee-oont cry?
      Really, it is a little depressing, his voice, the music, the whole thing…

      Re: jagelzey – like your grammar lessons must be if you spell like that



    31. 31

      Most people are too young on here to appreciate this song. This is a super remake! Great Post.



    32. 32

      That's horrible. Just freaking horrible.



    33. 33

      urgh! that was aweful! ok quirky is cute on occasion but this song had its own quirkiness to begin with…dont mess w/ the cure! bleh



    34. 34

      UHHHHHHHGHHHHHHHH seriously perez that was BAD



    35. 35

      Why does all indie music sound exactly the same? This is an really boring travesty. The Cure is so much better than this shit cover.

    37. 37

      AND BY THE WAY… : YOU AMERICANS HAVE TO LOOK/HEAR OVER YOUR BOARDERS AND EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS. YOU ARE TRAPPED IN YOU OWN BIG LITTLE AMERICAN WORLD.
