See if you can find any street or business signs that have a Cocteau Twins related word in them. You can find them on the internet and post them here or take a photograph of your own. There's a street in Toronto called "Amelia" which I really should take a photograph of.

Pepper Tree By The Sea is a dated Oceanfront North Myrtle Beach Condo property built in the 1980s. This Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort has one, two and three bedroom Oceanfront Condos. The property has reasonable rates, but needs remodeling. In Summer months this Myrtle Beach vacation offers supervised pool games for children, Bingo, arts and crafts and features special cookouts for families on weekdays.

This thread has reminded me of an ancient interview I read in a UK inky 20+ years ago. Apparently the band found out that every title on Treasure was included in various street names in Amsterdam. I may still have the interview somewhere but I'm too lazy to look it out. Does anyone else remember reading this? Any Dutch members care to confirm? Or were they just taking the piss?! :lol:

No - I wouldn't be that mean (although actually I do have records by them all but that's not the answer). Suffice to say, you'll kick yourself!

Nope - I don't think Penguin Cafe Orch have sung anything.

I could add Serge Gainsbourg and Ian Dury & The Blockheads to the list, if that helps. And Julian Cope.

Hint: It's nothing to do with music.
