A mixed bag of links today. Starting with something of a surprise – the Cocteau Twins are reforming, at least for the Coachella Valley Music Festival. Nothing to say whether it’s a one-off or not…. Tom poses an interesting question over at Random Acts Of Reality: How long until the MPAA/RIAA/BPI/BFI try suing Google for [...]
