Blondie - The Curse Of Blondie album cover
 The Curse of Blondie is Blondie's eighth studio album. It charted in the U.K. at a disappointing number 36 in October 2003, but has been hailed by fans and critics alike as one of their best.

The band departed from bankrupt Beyond Records and signed with Sony Music. The Curse of Blondie had the working title Phasm 8, which was also the name of the tour they were doing before the release, and was again produced by Craig Leon, who had also produced hit album No Exit. It was 4 years in the making as the only demo tapes of the album had disappeared from luggage at a UK airport, and so had to be re-recorded and re-worked again. The album incorporates a rock-inspired arrangement style more reminiscent of Blondie's earliest recordings.

The opening track, "Shakedown," has harsh rap verses with equally harsh guitar chords in the background, followed by a soft, summery sounding, sing-a-long chorus. Other tracks include: "Hello Joe," a tribute to the dead Ramones singer, Joey Ramone; the beautifully slow "Rules for Living," written by Jimmy Destri; hard rock anthems "Last One in the World" and "Golden Rod"; Pop/Rock song "Undone,"; "Diamond Bridge"; and haunting ballad "Songs of Love," and the top 20 UK single "Good Boys."
