-----WANTED: COCTEAU TWINS FANS-----
In the section above we posted news about some fan-made Cocteau Twins vidoes. Well,
if you're the creator of one of those videos or if you've ever entertained the idea
of creating your own Cocteau Twins music video then please read on! We are in the
very early planning stages of trying to put together a DVD collection of fan-made
Cocteau Twins music videos - "Followers Who Are Lovers." The main idea behind the
project is to gather a wide selection of these amateur videos, made by dedicated
fans, and then release a professionally-pressed DVD collection for everyone to
enjoy. The important thing that will hopefully make this DVD different is that we
plan on sending ALL of the proceeds (after absolute base production costs) from
sales to the band members themselves!! It's just one way that die-hard fans can
directly say 'Thank-you' back to the band that has given them so much joy over the
years.

SOME HURDLES.....there are of course many hurdles to jump over if this
(not-for-profit) project is to get off the ground and they include things like the
record label and the publishing company. Responses from both will affect the
direction and content (live vs. album recordings being used) of the DVD.

Again, this is just at the idea stage right now, of course more information about
the project will be available in the near future. For now a forum thread has been
set-up for those interested to post their comments or questions. Details on how you
can submit your fan-made video are also posted in the same thread. Follow this link

-----COCTEAU TWINS RADIO-----
Many fans have been asking about the upcoming Cocteau Twins themed internet radio
station. The site was aimed to launch February, 2008 but unfortunately that's going
to be delayed. There is no new launch date available at this time. Royalties
research and technical issues are to blame for the delay. Any updated information
will be posted in upcoming 'Hearsay' editions, or you can visit the tentative online
location for the station:
