The Autumns cover "Please, Please, Please..."; note from Simon Raymonde

I don't think I've seen this here before, so I thought I'd let you know of a compilation called "Isn't She Still..." which covers the "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack. L.A.'s The Autumns, who have been working with the Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde, cover "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" Slog Records is selling it on their website and Amazon & others also have it at a very reasonable price. I haven't heard it yet, but there are some mpegs available.

Also, I just received this email from Simon Raymonde a week or so ago regarding the above related link:
interesting that I managed to somehow make it on to morrisey's solo site, as he has publicly stated on several occasions that he completely loathed the cocteau twins and everything that we stood for. i was also midly irritated by his rather unecessary comments about us...we hardly courted much publicity or were much of a target but he was pretty vitriolic!! i had liked his music on and off up until that point, but then unsurprisingly lost total interest!

kind regards
to you all

    Cocteaus are ace. Smiths are ace. But yes, it's hard to like someone's work when the artist has slated yours... pay him no mind.

      Dear SM (not Malkmus, though that would be cooler),

      You shouldn't take Morrissey seriously. That's just his way of expressing love and cosmic angst. You must realize that life for M. is performance art, and every statement or movement coming from the man is qualified by a desperate irony. Of course he was more heated in his comments than could ever be expected: that's part of the humour.

          I thought some of their stuff was pretty good.
          I can understand why he was upset with Morrissey as he did give them a big slating and I don't think that Morrissey or us fans would be impressed if Morrissey was criticised like that.
