View Full Version : Last time you heard CT on the radio...
I was just wondering when it was that you last heard the mind-numbingly good Cocteau Twins being transmitted on the radio. Where was it? What station - and mainstream or specialist/local? Were there many people around? What did they think?
I last heard them about 10-12 months ago at work. A colleague and myself were listening to BBC R2 and Carolyn's Fingers came on. We weren't that familiar with the track (i subsequently hurried off to get BBK) :) , but were both stunned by it. It was a fine moment.
Any hearings to report/stories to tell??

never heard them on the radio...nearest I got to CTwas hearing teardrop whilst on hold trying to get through to a stationery company
The only time ever I heard CT on the radio was when Iceblink Luck was Record of the Week or something like that on Dutch radio at the time it was released.
I was so stunned by the fact they were on mainstream radio I didn't notice any reaction from my coworkers. For them it was probably 'just another record'.
I have NEVER heard Cocteau Twins on the radio crying
Just to make a small adjustment to what i said, it was the last time and the only time i've heard CT on the radio, so... i think you just have to be in the right place at the right time. :(

january or february, i think, on mark wheat's show on 89.3 the current
never... I did hear Blue Beard once in Caldor (a now defunct chain store in the states akin to Wal-Mart).
I once saw the Pearly DD video on MTV's 120 Minutes.

I've never heard them on the radio, BUT my wife told me she heard them as backing music on a British food programme yesterday (Friday) afternoon.
"What track was it?"
"I dont't know (she's not a fan) but it was definately those Cock-2 people, I recognised it from your car".
So if anybody in the UK was watching Good Food Live [I]or some-such on one of the SKY channels - did you hear it?
Never heard them on commercial radio(the big programmed ones)...one guy does a show on a university radio station entitled "Sonic Spectrum", he's played them once or twice, a broad range he plays.....
'Wild Oats', a nutrition oriented grocery store chain, plays a selection of music...just last week I heard Bluebeard...I was psyched...it is by my house, so I go in on a nearly daily basis and buy fresh as possible, anyway, that was the only time I've heard it playing out in public.

Haven't heard them on the radio since the 80s when I first discovered them. "Echoes of a Shallow Bay". That's what hooked me but Ive never heard them since because I don't really waste time with the radio and commercial radio doesn;t pay them any respect. Im sure college radio (where I first heard them) plays them often but I just don't have time or patience.

Liz Kershaw played a track from the BBC sessions on her show at the weekend for 6Music. Mark Riley played a track when he had Simon Raymonde in for an interview a few months ago. As well as being in the Fall I think that he was a plugger for 4AD in the 80's and still plays stuff every now and then. 6Music streams the last week's output and has tracklistings for all the shows; you can get it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music

I don't remember ever hearing a CT track on the radio, but the first time I heard Song to the Siren was in a parked car in a desolate mall parking lot in late '93, waiting for my sociopathic ex-boyfriend to come out of a store. It was a horrible time in my life and the song definitely struck a chord. Looking back on it is was almost like a signal, or a wake-up call. I was listening to the local college radio station, by the way - nothing like that would ever get played on commercial radio around here. I was already into CT and I knew it sounded like Liz, but I wasn't sure. I knew I was immediately obsessed with that song though. What a weird feeling it was - it gives me chills to think about it.
The happy ending to the story is that after a few months of investigation (this was pre-internet, mind you), I figured out what the song was and bought the album.

I have heard CT four times on the radio: Iceblink Luck has been played three times and HOLV once. Some DJ's have no imagination. By the way they were all on BBC 6 music. The best and most radio station in the land (and no, I don't work for them, I just think the station deserves praise)!!
Here, with most commercial radio stations, the DJ's have no bearing on the selection...except perhaps on special occasions...but on public/community/university radio stations they do...hit and miss....but at least the opportunity exists...so far...
there is always internet people who don't have a good local station...many stations these days do 2week archives...so if you find a good show...you can catch with a suitable connection.
Well, not quite Cocteau's music, but the name "Cocteau Twins" was name-dropped last night on Montclair State University's radio station, WMSC 90.3 in Montclair, New Jersey.
The Lost Patrol, the band I'm agent to, were in the studio doing a few acoustic songs and doing some talking, which included a question about their influences, and CT along with Throwing Muses were mentioned.
About 2 weeks ago I heard some stuff off Milk & Kisses on KCRW 89.9 Santa Monica, my favorite local NPR radio station. The morning DJ is a longtime Cocteau fan with really good and eclectic tastes

I tolerate the twangy guitar on Bluebeard. It's not so much the twang, but the context. The prosaic lyrics just put me off.
Don't get me wrong; there's a twangy piece on the Mysterious Skin soundtrack, and I like that just fine. No sappy lyrics!

Yeah, it has always been Bluebeard whenever I have heard them on the radio. But I haven't heard them in the airwaves in years.

Same with me. My favorite stuff is the stuff with little or no intelligible lyrics. As the latter-day stuff became more and more lyric-oriented, the magical quality slowly drained away for me.
I may be one of the very few CT fans who deliberately does not try to understand what she's singing about.
If she ever publishes a book of lyrics (not that it would ever happen, but just sayin'), I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT! (sticks fingers in ears) LA LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING! DON'T WANNA KNOW, THANKS!

Yeah...I have never been very interested in knowing all the lyrics. I'm that way with most music. I think my biggest let down was when I found out the true meaning of R.E.M.'s Orange Crush...but I LOVED that soda!!! J/K! I'm not that naive (unless I'm being shy *giggle*).
Last night The Current (Minnesota Public Radio) played This Love by Craig Armstrong (with Liz on vocals) and was very surprised. I was surprised the DJ (I forget his name but he plays ct now & then) talked about Craig but didn't bother to mention Liz on vocals. Maybe he's pissed at her. .
I LOVE the twangy guitar on Bluebeard...as I've said plenty...but it did come back up...
I like the lyrics...didn't change my perspective on anything, but they don't bother me a bit.
Most my discovery and subsequent enjoyment of CT happened in relative isolation, so it remains. Our differences far outweigh our similarities...that's ok though, I don't seek sameness...

Yeah! Me loves that twangy guitar on bluebeard too. That song was the FIRST Cocteau's recording i ever heard, and i wanted much more of the same afterwards. I know now it is unlike anything else on Four-Calendar Cafe, and also their entire back catalogue, but that is why it holds charm for me. Also the lyrics are special too - at the time i heard it, i imagined them to be (one of) the thoughts of a girl i was in the early stages of trying to woo. It's a beautiful song and melody, and it gives a beautiful, fragile perspective on the beginnings and uncertainty of a new relationship.
Lyrics or not, Cocteau Twins supply pure musical emotions to me, in a way most bands haven't come close to. :smitten:

One could not make this same observation about many bands/composers.
(e.g. people who enjoy, say, Eminem, probably all like pretty much the same things about it, as there aren't very many dimensions to it.)

It was a bit of shock on first listening: I reckon Liz was just letting the happiness out, nothing wrong with being happy, but I think it was Laughin' Philip Larkin who said "happiness never bore a great poem". Always loved the guitar on 'Bluebeard', it's that bit on 'Carolyn's Fingers' which shares its melody with a famously naff 70s UK Number 1 smash that I have to mentally filter out.
Last time I heard Cocteau Twins on the wireless was when Musette and Drums was in John Peel's Festive Fifty (threads passim), which is a shame because there's something about the way radio stations compress the music to fuck, so that it gets an extra level of "oompH"!

(e.g. people who enjoy, say, Eminem, probably all like pretty much the same things about it, as there aren't very many dimensions to it.)
Yeah, I agree. I actually thought there were two points in that...one about their music having diverse appeal...so everyone who loves them seems to love them in their own way...the other point follows somewhat from that, but seems quite striking after being on this forum, the isolation factor....sure there are occasional groups of people who enjoy listening to them together, but it seems like far more are similar to my experience...have very few friends in to them and discovered them more in a solitary way. I knew two people into them before I got in to them...and they weren't even close friends...even now I've shared them with friends, many like them, but none are into them like me.
King Crimson has been something like that, plus it was the one band I got into internet discussion about(through news groups around 92-95), most the posters were more loner types, like me, really in to certain aspects of their music, always with a different point of view on it than most the group posters....maybe Ozric Tentacles more so actually, though I wasn't into talking about them on the internet...I did hear about them from the prog groups though, then bought Strangeitude and Jurassic Shift...which I did enjoy...I didn't end up buying anything else until last year...oddly enough, partly because I heard Aborescence when it came out and didn't like them...I stuck with what I had for a time...but yet again, I knew no one that had their stuff.. so I didn't get more exposure until I downloaded some more of their stuff, just as I did with CT...then subsequently bought a fair amount of it, or in the case of CT...pretty much all the proper album releases and so on...
andylama
Jun-18-05, 6:32 PM
Yes, discovery of CT's music was for me a solitary revelation...and I don't mean solitary in a negative way. Not to sound pretentious, but it was really like a spiritual epiphany, as I had never heard anything like it before, and it seemed to fill a void that I didn't even realize was there. I shared my discovery with the one person who I knew would 'get it', and she sure did. It was like we had an exclusive club of only two members (this was 1984-5, mind you, and we were the only ones in our peer group who knew about CT) As the years went on, it became apparent to me that although we liked a lot of the same aspects of CT music, there were facets that did not overlap at all. She really enjoyed the latter-day self-affirmation lyrics that I found very uncomfortable to listen to. Etc., etc., blah, blah...
As for Ozric Tentacles: I also enjoy them, though I have only about 5 of their albums. If you haven't heard it yet, I would recommend the recent "Spirals in Hyperspace" -- it is top-notch jazz fusion. Even my 'jazz-fascist' father enjoyed it.
I like King Crimson too, but I find that only the 3 'new wave' albums (read: when Tony Levin was with them) stick with me over the years. Funny, Fripp was always the figurehead, but in the 80's, their sound was all about Tony Levin. These days, they are pretty much "nu metal" and I can't really get into it anymore. Too hard for me.
I hear you....except however plenty of KC from the 70's does still stick with me as works, though not for the vocals. In the case of both bands I was only relating the experience I had as a listener...wasn't better/worse type of comparison...and more to the point of finding people that like them tend to more in isolation as they don't have widespread uniform appeal....I can think of many others, but those were somewhat significant.
The new KC is pretty weak numetal...largely due to Pat Mastelleto(sp?). And Trey Gunn is quite talented, and smooth as a player....his creations tend to be pretty uninteresting to me though. Same with Levin. I didn't think the 80's was all about Levin, but I agree it was less about Fripp. Belew is another creative talent, but I find his singing irritating. KC was always plagued with weak singing. I still love 'The Night Watch' and 'Starless' from the mid70s, but Wetton's singing has indeed become harder to listen to over time...

the isolation factor....
They are a good company when I'm alone, but I can't listen to them when I'm with other people, because I hate it when others are listening to them with apathy and don't recognize the depth and grandeur of it! They are superficial listeners and will rather care about what the lyrics are about than let being carried away by the whole atmosphere.
Maybe this kind of music attracts us, because we are lonely characters seeking for something that's carrying us away...I often ask myself what we CT-fans have in common. I'm sure there is something we all have in common and it has to do with our character!

the first time i ever heard ct on the radio though was a few years ago when triple j did a 3 hour j-files special on cocteau twins. i had so much fun that night... i requested two songs carolyn's fingers which i got to announce and aloysius which was badly mispronounced by the presenter richard kingsmill.

For me, CT puts me in a place where I can "hear" my soul...I suppose it always has since that day in 1986 when I first listened to Lazy Calm.
When I hear it even now, sometimes it provokes tears and other times it provokes a deep sense of calm. The tears might be from my age at the time, deep into the state university and twenty. Who knows a damn thing when their 20?? :)
Maybe we all have our eyes "open".

If I didn't "open" them at the bus station in the morning, or while doing the same boring things mechanically in front of the PC, I just wouldn't survive! Before CT I always found some music playing in my imagination - there had to be something else there instead of reality - but it never was effective enough. Thanks God I 've found something really strong enough to help me phantacise anytime and anywhere.

If you were in the United States at the time, the song had to be Bluebeard.
Because of that damned song being promoted as the 'radio hit', there is a whole cross-section of Americans who don't really know Cocteau Twins, but if mentioned, will recall "oh yeah, they had a song or two on MTV back in the 90's, right? Weren't they a country band?" :rolleyes:

Here in Mexico music from CT has been played in mainstream radio, It was on the FCC era, I remember Heaven or Las Vegas (was played very often) and Bluebeard played in a Love Songs radio station. I remember that one song from Tiny Dinamine was used as a soundtrack for a "tv novel", as well as Dials was used in a TV spot in a cultural channel. And to my surprise last christmas I was at the supermarket (in Wall Mart) and suddenly I started to listen Winter Wonderland by Cocteaus...wow they made my happiest day in supermarkets!! In a mexican world full of cumbias, pop, spanish rock, electronic music and mariachis is wierd to find this moments.

I heard them about 1 month ago on Radio 1 (uk) . It was a tribute program to the late great DJ John Peel, the man responsible for airplaying most of the best british bands over the last 30 years. If it wasnt for John Peel's early support of the band it is doubtful that the twins would have continued much past the mid eighties. Imagine all that great music that would have never been made. RIP John.

6 Music play the Cocteaus every few weeks or so... at least, it feels like that anyway - almost as much as they play the other token "older" songs they play - but it's a different Cocteaus one each time...

The last time I heard the CT on the radio in Seattle, it was Iceblink Luck. It was around the time they toured back in 1996. I remember it vividly! I was excited about seeing them in concert, and for some reason I had the radio tuned to 107.7 (alternative) in the car. I almost drove off of the bridge.
Every once in a blue moon, I hear "Bluebeard" in the stores. I remember walking into the Body Shop, and they were playing the CT. I stayed in the store long enough for me to get my "fix".

It was very faint, so I sidled up to where the radio was, and strained to hear it. I think I must have looked a bit shifty!! I couldn't ask to turn it up, as the only guy there was doing a deal with another customer.
CT never, but the last time I heard "Song to the Siren" was when I played it in '88 on WMBR at MIT.

I played Carolyn's Fingers on Generate Ayr FM last week, a local community station which ran for a month. I was guesting, giving community safety inputs.
I really gave it a lot of thought as to which track to play...Carolyn's Fingers isn't my favourite, but I thought it was the most 'Cocteau Twins sounding' song I could play for people who had never heard them before.
Unfortunately my audience was probably single figures!
