Briefly...

• The Cure is headlining at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival this July. Otherwise, as of this writing, there are no other scheduled concert dates. Fans can get a bit of a Cure fix with the video downloads offered at thecure.com.

• Depeche Mode will not be touring this summer. Dave Gahan did, however, make an appearance at the MusiCares event on May 11, performing Policy of Truth and Personal Jesus. Gahan is also working on a follow-up to his 2003 solo CD Paper Monsters, and is hoping for an October 2007 release.

• Here's another Morrissey concert review -- this one's from his Friday night show (May 18) in Columbus, Ohio.
