The following are more songs that I plan to pass to Maya for her radio show - Rock It Her Way.
The Cure:
1. Plastic Passion
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 1)
B-side of Boys Don't Cry
2. I'm Cold
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 1)
B-side of Jumping Someone Else's Train
Distinguished by some distant wailing backup vocals from Siouxsie
Note: There is nothing wrong with the song or the CD in case you're wondering.
3. Another Journey By Train
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 1)
B-side of A Forest
4. Lament
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 1)
Extra b-side of The Walk 12"
5. Throw Your Foot
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 1)
Extra b-side of The Caterpillar 12"
6. Sugar Girl
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 2)
Extra b-side of Just Like Heaven 12"
7. How Beautiful You Are
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 2)
Extra track on Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me radio sampler CD
Hmm...doesn't the beginning of this song sounds similar to New Order's style?
8. Babble
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 2)
B-side of Lullaby/Fascination Street
A dog was brought into the control room and got it to put its paw on Lol Tolhurst's keyboard setup to make weird noises. The increasing unreliable Lol was lying in the corner drunk.
9. Hello I Love You
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 2)
From Electra CD, Rubaiyat
A cover version of The Doors recorded for Electra Anniversary, even though cover version is not The Cure's cup of tea.
10. Hello I Love You
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 2)
Slight Return Mix from Electra CD, Rubaiyat
A cover version of The Doors that was beyond recognition. The song is barely 11 seconds. Is is the song that The Cure is going punk? Punk/New wave are the roots of The Cure anyway.
11. This Twilight Garden
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 3)
B-side of High
12. Burn
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 3)
From the soundtrack of The Crow. This is an excellent last movie of Brandon Lee where he was killed in an accident during filming.
13. Signal To Noise
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 4)
B-side of Cut Here
14. Just Say Yes
LP: Join The Dots (from CD 4)

LP: Staring At The Sea - The Singles compilation
Various foreign artistes:
1. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
LP: Substance (1977-1980 compilation)
Released in 1992
If I'm not mistaken, there is another song by INXS with the same title. Perhaps, it's a coincident that the lead singers of both of the bands committed suicide. Is it a curse to have a song titled "Love Will Tear Us Apart"? New Order is the continuationof Joy Division after the tragedy.
2. Going Down - Stone Roses
LP: The Complete Stone Roses compilation
Released in 1995 by Silvertone Records
3. Glam Rock Cops - Carter The U.S.M.(Unstoppable Sex Machine)
LP: Starry Eyed & Bollock Naked (B-sides collection)
Released in 1994 by Chrysalis Records
This band emerged in the U.K. during the dance-rock booming period along with EMF, Jesus Jones, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, etc. This band has a lot of punk influences in their songs.
4. Rocketship XL-3 - Man...Or Astroman
LP: Your Weight On The Moon
Released in 1994 by One Louder Records
5. Shockware - Man...Or Astroman
LP: Your Weight On The Moon

This is an excellent U.K. band that was frequently played by the late John Peel in BBC
6. Love, The Lazee - Spinanes

9. One Thing Can Hold Us - The Go-Betweens
LP: Send Me A Lullaby
Recorded in July 1981 at Brisbane
This is from the Australian band's first album. It is said to be the rawest among their albums. The band moved to London in May 1982 after this album was picked up by a British label, Rough Trade.
10. Rose-Colored Times - Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories
LP: Tails
Released in 1995 by Geffen Records
The band is famous for the chart topping hit, Stay, from the same album.
11. Vicious Cycle - Neural Vibe
LP: MantraReleased in 1998 by Snakeweed Records
No idea about this band at all. The names of the band members along with some statements in the album sleve makes me wonder whether they could be Malaysians or Singaporeans. My suspicious is based on: The band members thank Allah S.W.T. and there are names such as Ah Yang, Wendy Chua, Azura and even the word "My kampung boys" on the sleve.

LP: Is This Real?
Released by Sub-pop Records
