[Phil Lawton]

my prized item was coming home with a pink opaque cassette....may not sound like much to you but i fell in love! other goodies included - conversation disc (vinyl), another box set, garlands cassette, 3 iceblink singles, the 4-track vinyl version of love's easy tears, peppermint pig 12", the gothic tribue cd, the box set sampler cd and lp, the moon & the melodies on vinyl and cassette.......and loads of other non cocteau stuff......in total i spent well over $300 american bucks!

...When you think that this is normal behaviour, given that you already own at least one copy of all of them already.

[mmmender]

(desperately trying to dig myself out) look ok - i didn't have pink opaque on cassette!!!!!!!!

Yes...well...you say that NOW.....

[santeras]

"you know you're a cocteau twins addict when............."

...you envy Mmmender's Cocteau collection.

John. :)

[mattadore]

For me the telling sign is that I own several of the releases on multiple formats... cassette, LP, and CD... the other red flag is that I can put on some of the CD's on repeat and listen to them for 8 hours at a go... hypnotic!!!

Do you hug yourself and rock backwards and forwards as you listen?

[mattadore]

Phil, oh yes, and I usually wear adult diapers for these types of excursions also...

Sorry, too much information.:eek:

[mmmender]

"you know you're a cocteau twins addict when........"

......you live in toronto but thinks it's reasonable to drive 8½ hours to chicago for a record convention (who's attendee's include elvis look-alikes) just in case they have any cocteau rarities!

[mattadore]

... you're considering getting the reissues against your better judgement (with all apologies to Phil).

[mmmender]

is it just me or do i look like 'cousin it' in that picture?:D hair....it happens to the best of us. but it certainly gets in the way when you're trying to hunch over record bins.

[Phil Lawton]

I dunno, Lees, but the baseball cap doesn't suit you.

[mattadore]

Ah well, "the bigger the hair, the closer to God..."... ermmm, or something like that...

[santeras]

Aaaah yes, hair.

I remember it well. :D

ya think? hmm....what about the white beard? should i keep it?

[Phil Lawton]

For sure...the Burl Ives image could be a life-changing experience.

[Phil Lawton]

And it might be wise, if you really want to look like a guy, to go down the Mr Ives path. You know what they say:

"Fellahs never last, Burl's forever."

[santeras]

At the risk of being ungentlemanly, I can think of two things about mmmender that could get in the way of her looking anything like Burl Ives.
:o ;)

John (I look like the mutant offspring of Bruce Willis & 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, if that's at all possible)

The limp and the eleven fingers?

[mmmender]

phil............i'm not the one with eleven fingers!;)

[santeras]

Eleven fingers?

You'd never lose your gloves in the cloakroom at a party and you'd get a job as a typist without much trouble.
I'm sure there are other advantages but I probably dont need to paint mental pictures for y'all eh?

John.

[Phil Lawton]

Like playing the pink oboe?

[Brittany]

You're posting on the website of a defunct band and you KNOW you should be on with the workout that you paid too much for.

BTW Lees, don't let anyone wind you up about the hair. I was just told mine was too long (3/4 down my back???). Now I am NOT going to cut it as I had planned.

You kill me Phil !

My obsession was at it's height when at 15 I had my hair/make-up the same as Liz and owned 4 tops with sailor collars :D

your Cocteau Twins CD stack exceeds 10 feet!

[multymfoiled]

I would say "you know your an addict when" you read through all of dprid's post to see if there's a phrase that's a play on "Cocteau Twins"!

Or would that go too far?

[mmmender]

*bump*

[Rad]

I'm sorry to say that I've already outgrown my addictive state. I'm over the stage where CT's music made me feel as though I were in love... with no one in particular - which I think is the reason Liz became the focal point of that feeling. Though lately I'm starting to go more an that direction again.

But in the beginning I'd spend hours upon hours on the net digging every tiny little piece of info I could on the band and could seem to read the same interviews over and over. Also, (I'm so ashamed of this) wanting to kiss the computer screen while seeing Liz in a downloaded CT clip is more than worrying.

And if I ever come to CT fest next year. Well. OK. Maybe I need to be committed?

When you start singing along with every damn record mangling up the words and singing some backward as much as possible.

[steven]

When you name your two cats 'Iceblink' and 'Donimo' and the peopleat the vet look at you like your crazy.

[mmmender]

you know you're a cocteau twins addict when...........you have a distinct compulsion to check the "C" section of every single record shop you go into, even if they specialise in classical music.....cos you just never know!

you know you're a cocteau twins addict when.......you wish they made a line of cocteau twins clothing other than just t-shirts.....i want pink opaque panties!

you know you're a cocteau twins addict when........you actually contemplated naming one of your kids 'cocteau' until your friends threatened to call children's services.

[noboybands]

you know you're a cocteau twins addict when........ forum users know your name
