Uh-oh, it’s the night before Christmas… Now, let’s be straight: I hate Christmas. But I love the Cocteau Twins, and this first song was reissued on their beautiful Lullabies to Violaine boxed set of singles & EPs this year, so here goes!
Tonight’s show, though, is my 2006 retrospective. Lots of tunes wot floated my boat this year. I’m away next Sunday (NYE – I’ll be @ The Falls with FourPlay), so I may do part II on Sunday the 7th of Jan!
