Sinister: hear, hear: long live sentimental fools!

[pierre Miquel]

Hello, I just wanted to send this message for supporting ELISABETH FRAZER,
who is ma "idole" for years and who is becoming a big star, after singing
with graig amstrong, and massive attack.
I recommand you all the album of cocteau twins, whom she is the singer, and
excpecially "head over heals", which is my favorite.
Pierre (from france)

>obvious.. like, the main character - her name is judy... the characters
talk

>don't know *what* kind of cult you're into now.." - as b&s sing, "make a
new

>oh.. i hate to bring this up here, and the very last thing i want to do is
>make it into a bigger deal than it is, and even worse, put myself in the

>but he really was *truly* sincere about trying to apologize to you the last
>time he went on.. he is one of my only friends who likes belle and
>sebastian, and in real life he's a great, great person... i'm a bit
>dissapointed by the whole thing because i think that if given the chance,
>you could have as much fun with him as i do.. but, i'm sorry for any
>feathers that were ruffled along the way... (hey, why am *i* apologizing?
