In The Mail

Just picked up my mail today. My friend Jesse sent me a copy of Blue Bell Knoll by Cocteau Twins. I have not heard this album in years and it is so totally refreshing. By coincidence I read earlier this morning that the Twins have cancelled the tour they had planned for this spring. In hindsight I am kind of glad to hear that they had cancelled the shows as I don't really think you should milk your creative past. Maybe it is because I have such warm affection/memories for the music and I kind of want it to remain in a clear-cut past. I want the nostalgia to be pure and unaffected by a "different" present.
