Cocteau Twins’ albums

The harpsichord-like, reverberated textures give Beatrix a truly unique colour.

A lifetime of music.

He agrees ✌️

Yes, only 32 minutes. Two short albums is a good idea 😊

Thanks for taking a look, Vincent. It’s a really a nice collection! I don’t have that compilation, but I do have those studio albums. If you ever fancy listening to one of them, that would be lovely. Definitely no need to go through the whole discography.

Cocteau Twins' albums

H. Budd and the Cocteaus came from different musical backgrounds, yet listening to this album, their collaboration just makes sense.

Fantastic! 😊

Thanks!

Thank you! This will be a taste of summer to come ☀️🌟

Thanks, that's very kind. But too many choices... Tell me which artist or band later and I'll choose the album.

Sunday May 10th works for me. I’m not sure whose turn it is to choose the album, but anything is fine with me. I could really use something fun to look forward to right now 😊🙏

You are forgiven 🙌😁

Great! The second weekend in May works for me. It will be a long weekend here from Friday, May 8th to Sunday, May 10th. Whichever day suits you best. Would that work for you, Robert?

Hi @vgbpw1.bsky.social and @robertusrex.bsky.social
I’m currently planning my upcoming weekends and wanted to check if you’d be interested in setting aside some time for a potential listening party. No rush to reply—just putting it out there. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead (Live Coachella 2005) YouTube video by kamerarosak

#Bauhaus #NP

I’ve never been to Coachella, but I remember that in 2005 they had Bauhaus on the lineup, and Peter Murphy performed 'Bela Lugosi’s Dead' like any self-respecting bat would: upside down 🦇
