Who here remembers the Cocteau Twins?
My wife is always busting on me because they are my favorite band. She says they are "depressing."

I want to show her that there lots of fans, so please reply if you are as much of a fan as I am.

Otherwise, I may file for. . . . . Divorce
:eyes:

Thx!

2. I'm listening to Persephonie right now!
That's what got me thinking about whether I am alone in my love of them at the DU

5. No Thanks!
My wife encompasses precisely 1/2 of my soul.

I would not want to live in a world that didn't include her as my wife. Cocteau Twins or not!

And so, I am flip-flopping on my prior statement.

10. Love the Twins! I don't think they are depressing at all!
Tell your wife she's crazy!

No, just kidding. Don't tell her that.

Tell her that her interpretation is not the only one.

My iPod would be a less beautiful place without the Cocteau Twins.

11. The first time I saw them. ..
Was way back in the '80s at the Keswick Theatre.

The woman next to me (whom I didn't know) put her head on my shoulder during the second set.

Then we all wandered down to the stage.

It was magical. I was used to getting all beat up at concerts!

That one was magnificently different.
