I was in a really bad mental space (Bad breakup. :( ) then and want to start the year with good karma. I wish nothing but the best for you, your fam, and your artistic endeavors.

Didn't know you had one. Very entertaining. And I agree, damn terrorists ruined traveling for everyone. Bastards. Not sure if you'll actually read this, but FYI, of all the stuff I listen to, your music in particular creates reaaaally good ambiance, which helps keep me sane. I'm an associate editor for Werner Publishing in Los Angeles and your music really helps the day pass more smoothly. I write articles for their photography magazines mainly, but I do some editing of submissions too. You might relate to this part... Our posh offices are located on Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, 12th floor...almost the entire 12th floor. Most of the offices have a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean or Brentwood or the Getty Museum up on the hill....except mine of course. I'm stuck in one of the few caves that have no windows. I have a view of nothing. So when I say your music helps keep me sane, I really do mean that. So get cracken on some new stuff. It's been a while as you mentioned in one of your entries. And tell your daughter that her daddy does not have a little pathetic life...he's actually a musical genious and one of the only original artists of this or any century. So there.

And what happened is between the three of them and no one else. And in the end they lasted 16 years, so shit, sometimes it's just time to move on. I think we should all be very fortunate that Robin has continued to make amazing music. Personally, I think the 'Mysterious Skin' soundtrack is up there with any Cocteau release.

I was reading recently about Simon Raymonde expressing how much a Cocteau reunion was the least of things everyone concerned wanted. I know this is none of my business but I always wondered, what is the essence of all that hate or bad sentiments between both you guys and Liz? How can such beautiful music as Cocteau Twins evolved in so much bad energy? I really have no need to know the details but..I'm interested in knowing what in the world can cause so much trouble between people who once had a fantastic time together. A key word? Was the source of conflict about Money, Love Conflicts, Creativity Conflicts, Pure Ego? Is it something like, one of you did something bad once that the other never forgave?? Life is short, make it sweet. Cheers, Cedric Hello,
