L'amour, Toots Shor L'amour!

A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the alert reader who can divine the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania from this video for the Cocteau Twins' "Heaven or Las Vegas".



Hint: it's NOT Top Musicians Who Named Themselves After French Surrealists.

Best song about Las Vegas?

I got no clue on the listmania theme but I love that album. It's fairly well gorgeous from beginning to end. Actually, according to their Wikipedia entry, CT are named after a song by Johnny and the Self Abusers (who later became Simple Minds).

Songs about Heaven and/or Las Vegas?

What do I win?

Songs with city names for titles ala "Sausalito" or "Boston" or "Streets of Baltimore."

It's got nothing to do with the song title or las vegas or heaven.

Hint: It has something to do with the band itself.

Bands from Scotland?

Bands with three or more members but have the word "twins" in their name?

Bands whose live shows featured a male player who liked to appear in a dress?

OK, I got nuthin'.

Bands liable to be arrested for eye liner abuse.

I got it! Cocteau Twins songs that I don't know? Bands I've heard of but never really listened to?

Groups I'm not cool enough to listen to? (I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it were this one, to be honest.)

Very impressive, kiddo. No-Prize on its way to you...

I hope you get a kick out of the rest of the list, BTW -- it'll be up just the other side of midnight, complete with video links....

Congrats to the winner! The Holy Grail of rock music list-guessing has been won.

I am honestly impressed. These Friday list things are tantalizingly tricky.
