----------------------------------------------------------------


Welcome to another issue of 'Hearsay' - the newsletter that promises to keep you
up-to-date on the latest Cocteau Twins & related news.


-----ROBIN GUTHRIE'S LATEST TOUR-----
As you may already be aware, one of the cities on Robin's recent tour list was
Mexico City. He performed at the city's Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico on February
29, 2008. Someone attending the performance brought along a video camera and has
been kind enough to share the footage on youtube.com. You can view this
performance by following this link:

There's also a video from his February 13, 2008 performance @ Circolo Degli Artisti
(Roma, Italy) located here:

-----ROBIN GUTHRIE IN SOUTH AMERICA-----
By now most of you have probably already seen the live Lumiere performance videos
that were added to youtube.com from a variety of Robin's dates in South America,
from this past summer. Recently added is a video from June 6, 2007 @ Teatro Julieta
(Lima, Peru), performing with Resplandor. You can view the 8 minute video by
following this link:

-----RARE COCTEAU TWINS PHOTOGRAPHS-----
Thanks to forum member Ketamine (Brian), he's been busy posting a great deal of
pretty rare photographs of the band, mainly from their final touring year. To see
the images, check out this forum thread:

-----IT'S ALL BUT AN ARCHIVE-----
Plans have been under way for several years now to produce a tangible (and very
detailed) Cocteau Twins discography. Well, the good news is it's almost finished
and it's aptly named "Cocteau Twins: It's All But An Archive" It details just about
every detail, on every release, on every label, on every format, from every country!
It's an interactive CD-ROM which includes sleeve scans, all available discography
details, as well as some extras in an ephemera section housing things like scans of
Cocteau concert ticket stubs ranging from 1982 to 1996. If you've got any images,
scans, details, rarities, test pressings or anything else you'd like to include then
please post a message in the new forum that's been set-up specifically for this
project. You can find the forum here:

-----YOUTUBE.COM & BELLA UNION-----
There's a new Bella Union youtube.com group that's been set-up. Feel free to join
the group and help out in the daunting task of making sure that all of the related
Bella Union bands' promotional and live performance videos are added to the group.
This makes it easier to sample some of what the label has to offer, for those who
are interested. You can find the group here:

-----SIMON RAYMONDE VIDEO VAULT-----
The video for "Muscle & Want", a track from Simon's solo album "Blame Someone Else"
is now available online for the first time. You can view it by following this link:

-----ROBIN GUTHRIE'S WEBLOG-----
Robin finally updated his online weblog and it's rather lengthy (and as always,
enjoyable). You can read/comment on the weblog through this forum thread:
