"...the new rock Mecca of Columbus..."

Funny thing is I've seen Kraftwerk a few times, and for all I know they're up there playing "Doom." It's like I don't care if the joke's on me, I just love it. But other people who were at the Cocteau Twins show did love it, so maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind. The Cocteau Twins were one of the 1st bands I ever recall my parents absolutely hating - and I was listening to the Dead Kennedys around that time. But they listened to so much bagpipe music, they had it coming.

They hated the Cocteau Twins? Funny because they have a celestial, uplifting thing that I could see parents digging.

Bagpipes can do funny things to people.

I started hallucinating after 10 days of recording them.
Only instrument that I have had L/R phase issues with, on a mono source/playback.

Try it one day, blinking can make the whole soundstage shift.

Or maybe the parents just didn't like Elizabeth Fraser's non-decipherable lyrics. Literally, she sings gibberish--albeit beautiful, haunting, transcendent gibberish.   "What the hell is this band singing about, son??? Turn it off!!"

I think it was more like, "all their songs sound the same." Dad wasn't having it, he was probably dying to put on a Martin Carthy album. Being older now, it is perhaps hard to fault that.
