speak no evil

Aren't you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

brarana_sinbri has been removed from the community for posting spam. Once might have been in error, a second time, clearly not. Is anyone having trouble with anyone else that I haven't caught up to yet? I'm also looking to take on a couple mods if anyone is interested in the job. Comment if you think you'd be great for the job and we'll go from there :)

greetings one and all,

my name is derek power or djproject

i have a band called the spangle maker. (and yes, the connection is very intentional, which i'll explain in a bit). it consists of myself (multi-instrumentalist), natalie garland (vocalist) and andrew thompson (multi-instrumentalist). we just completed our first recording, an ep entitled the romantic dysthymia. personally, i've listened to a lot of music prior to devoting full attention to cocteau twins (back in march 2006 when i purchased a copy of lullabies to violaine). before that time, everything felt like it was free-floating without any particular connection. but hearing cocteau twins served as a catalyst in my musical mind and gave more shape and structure to an already full well of ideas. now the desire i had to make music really intensified and could be realised. hence alluding to them in the band's name. it's my way of saying thank you for really putting me into the musical realm. of course the interesting thing is that i don't hear as much cocteau twins in this ep. although if you guys do, i would love to know. (i'm always interested in people's reactions to my work).

for the moment, it's available as a somewhat low-quality mp3 on archive.org. i anticipate a physical release but i'm not sure when that would be. you can listen and download it and yes even share it (albeit maintain and respect license conditions). the address is http://www.archive.org/details/TSM…

we also have a blog and you can read feed here: thespanglemaker

let me know what you all think.

Hi everyone!
I wanted to thank everyone for all their contributions to this community.
I also wanted to see if anyone would be interested in helping to moderate things.
I don't get a lot of time online right now and I thought it'd be a good idea to maybe take "applications" for anyone interested.
If you feel you'd be good at the job, email me at keki13@gmail.com with information about yourself and why you think you'd be a positive influence as a moderator.  Include any communities you currently maintain/moderate, how often you're on LJ, and any other details you think would be good.  I'll give it a week or so and see if anyone is interested and we'll go from there. 
I'm not looking to give up this community, but everyone can use a helping hand from time to time.
Thanks! :)

Anyone know where I can get some videos from the Cocteau's early days (Garlands/Lullabies-era)? That's the only stuff of theirs I dig, and the videos I've seen of them supporting Killing Joke were amazing. Cheers!
