What’s your favorite deep cut from an album? I went on a hunt through Cure albums because I’ve always loved their weird B side songs. I settled on The Exploding Boy which started as a b-side on The Cure's single "In Between Days", then included on The Head on the Door album, one of my favorites. I also learned that it’s on the 2005 compilation album Join the Dots: B-Sides and Rarities. Enjoy!
