[kj]Peter is Actually Still Quite Mistaken

Peters initial error and therefore his belief that he was right is
simply down to time. By that i mean Peter wasnt really a Cocteau Twins
fan at the time and is simply researching the backcatalogue as he
picks up the info here.
While theres nothing wrong with that it allows a conflict between
those who witnessed at the start and those coming in from the other
side.

i started to pick up on this with some of his references to the punk
bands of certain eras. The approach was systematic and impersonal.

Having met peter i can hardly say he was my age, i dont know how old
he is nor really care. So i can deduce that he wasnt around when i was
for example, so when he refers to bands at that time period i know hes
using either the internet, a book or has maybe read and listened to
the material later on.

i have favourite bands but i dont know of every recording they made
over time, but i know about when they initially approached the
recording, the dynamics of the individuals etc. Now i dont really care
two fucks about  whether something was released maybe in the mid 90's
when the dynamics of the scene were in the early 80's. others do.
