Alright, this has been teasing me for some time: does anyone remember a compilation cassette offered free through the post (US and Canada) that featured a) 'Iceblink Luck' as the opening track b) 'The Whole Truth' by Henry Rollins c) a song by Material Issue (I think)? It was released sometime in '90 or '91; the cover art predominately a shade of blue. I haven't found this among the sundry Cocteau Twins discographies available on the net, nor have I had much luck with google. This is to no end, really, other than mere curiosity... and proof that I'm not imagining things.

You are a man of exquisite taste Reg. (well most of the time).
Sunshine on Leith has always been in my top ten list of songs to make you cry and these lovely lads are playing Cambridge soon!
I went to Leith in the summer incidentally, during the festival, and it wasn't at all what I was expecting. And it rained. Hey ho! Isn't that always the way in life?

Get an see 'em I say -

They brought the house down in Scotland for the Live 8 concert - 500 Miles is an Anthem!

I was just about to say 'Bloody cheek!' I'm not that old!
As Miss Jean Brodie would say, 'I am truly in my prime'.

you are the creme de la brule!

>or was it the creme de la menthe? I cannot quite remember!

Re: you are the creme de la brule!

I am a Cadburys creme egg or is it a Frys chocolate creme, which is slightly more sophisticated (though frankly not as nice).
Lord I get so confused!

 

[Regie Pepper]

Re: you are the creme de la brule!

The film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was filmed not 1 mile away from where I live - sad and useless fact!

I miss the cadburys caramel bunny! bring her back Cadburys!

Its a great film. 'You little gels, must recognise your prime...'
Oh yes the Cadburys bunny, she with the doe eyes and long lashes.
'Hey Mr Beaver, quit beavering around....' said in languid West Country accent.
Reg, how do we always end up on these totally, like random subjects?

 

[Regie Pepper]

I don't mean to digress...

But somehow I always do! You must be the same as me - a little scatterbrained!

> REGGIE

Scatterbrained would imply that I am a bit ditzy, or heaven forbid, flaky. Which I most certainly am not!
What I have is a mercurial mind, or as the Buddhists would say 'Monkey mind'.
It flits around from one topic to another, with little rhyme or reason, because there's JUST SO MUCH TO LEARN!
Consequently I'm hopeless at committing to one thing at a time. Infact I am commitment phobic, which is why I will NEVER get married. How can anyone be that certain about anything?
Or as someone once said to me, "Dylan wrote a song about you. 'Like A Rolling Stone'.
For the love of God woman, stop rambling!

MONKEY!

MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!

Born from an egg on a mountain top....THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE TV SHOW ONCE UPON A TIME!

You can never be certain about very much in life such is the transitory nature...

Ah well

Re: MONKEY!

Thank you for those words of comfort O Wise One.
The buddhists also say that life is made up of meaningful moments, and that we expect too much from life in the West.
The question is 'WHERE ARE MY MOMENTS?'

 

[Jo Jo70]

Re: MONKEY!

My Cadbury's Moments I mean. Who ate them all?
'Boom-boom', as Basil Brush would say.
And that concludes my quota of drivel for this week. Until the next time then.
