Vinyl pressing of Fortune by the Wizard Robin Guthrie. Rare find.

Thanks to the person that suggested discogs. Definitely one of my most prized possessions to my collection. What do you guys think of this album if you've ever heard of it? Btw absolutely gorgeous album cover.

NAME THAT COCTEAUNE! - For Friday, April 24, 2026

Difficulty Level - MEDIUM

THE RULES:

  1. I listen to a Cocteau Twins song
  2. I attempt to transcribe the lyrics WITHOUT ANY AID OF LINER NOTES OR LYRICS WEBSITES (foolish....I know)
  3. You reply with your guess as to what the song is.
  4. Multiple guesses are allowed! HOWEVER, if a multiple guesser gets the correct answer within the same minute as another Redditor who has yet to guess, the Redditor guessing the song on their first guess WINS. If multiple Redditors who have already lobbed guesses get the correct answer within the same minute time stamp on my notifications, the Redditor I'm notified of first wins.
  5. The winner gets….honestly…nothing. Except bragging rights, a celebratory GIF, and a link to the song of the day.

[NOTE: Any lyrics I perceive that either name a good portion of the song title or is just the song title in whole will be blocked out with *CENSORED*. Text shown in italics wrapped in parentheses are just my snarky asides, usually about my shitty hearing.]

Round and round the wheel of random Cocteau goodness goes!

Where it stops? Nobody knows!

And it has stopped on...

This track which I will just get into and say nothing more.

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

Southern trees bear *CENSORED* (whole song title)

Blood on the leaves and blood on roots

Like bodies swinging in the Southern breeze

*CENSORED* (whole song title) swinging from the poplar trees

And this song has no choruses, so you just get one verse today.

As always, I look forward to your guesses and snark.

M&K

Hi, I recently got into Cocteau Twins, and while I did listen to them before, I’ve just started listening to them a LOT more. I really like the sound of the Milk and Kisses album, especially Serpentskirt and Rilkean Heart. I am looking for recommendations for songs with a similar melancholic tone to the M&K album. Thanks!

Best of Live Day 6: When Mama Was Moth

It turns out I do have time for today! This song was NOT played live a lot at all and was an extremely rare occurrence in the sets. However, when it was done live, it was performed in a few shows in 1983. We only have a few recordings of it as it was so rare, but here it is!

Cocteau Twins - When Mama Was Moth (Live in Nijmegen, 1983) - YouTube

Cocteau Twins - Live 10 November 1983

Cocteau Twins - Les Baines Douches, Paris 9th November 1983

My Personal Favorite:
