Shaddup, I know it's Friday. *LOL* But, unfortunately, it's been a rather long week--in fact I'd no time yesterday, after a very long day which included 9 hours at work and then visiting Mom at her office, and was practically exhausted when all was said and done. So, it's a special Day-after-Thursday Tradition, and as promised it's spotlighting the amazing Cocteau Twins. This time around, I'm doing a double-take special Tradition--posting the originals and the BBC Sessions versions so you can pick for yourselves the favorite versions of some of the brilliant songs. I'm staunchly picky about these, don't ask why. *LOL*
I guess one could almost say, depends on how you want your tuneage. Some songs, both versions sound quite similar. Other songs, the versions are different in some form or another. Depends on your preference. Heh

Oh and, this week's Song of the Week, another Twins tune, and a favorite of mine for a long time. This is from the album "Four-Calendar Cafe" released in... 1996, I believe...
"Know Who You Are At Every Age" - The Cocteau Twins
Well... I've been trying to get a hold on the boyfriend and, so far no luck so, until then I'll be enjoying the tuneage. And you should too.
...I hope you enjoy the tuneage!
Until the next round...
