I think the closest thing to "twee rap" that has ever existed is Looper.

Why hasn't anyone else commented on my genital moustache idea?

If we can copyright it it'll kill.

And, of course, twee rap would be called "twip-hop".

I already copyrighted the genital moustache idea two years ago when I got drunk and wondered whether I could shave and wax my pubes like a world war 2 pilots moustache.

Fantastic. How much would it cost to buy into this venture?

I think if we could figure out a way to properly render handlebar moustaches down there and licensed them to twee musicians we wouldn't ever have this thread again.

I'm pretty sure that if Khar watched this video he would actually have a seizure.

Personally, I think it's one of the best pop songs of all time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9GOyvE9Q88

And no, I don't think it's weird that I like ear-destroying atonal industrial noise-screaming and this.  Perhaps it is the musical equivalent of being bisexual.

Actually, I rather like her voice. There's this sort of undercurrent of ennui and longing in it despite the upbeat nature of the music and vocals that I find rather charming. I question the musics sincerity, but there's some genuine emotional content there a thousand lightyears away from the mainstream bubblegum pop I despise. The music isn't half bad either. Reminds me of a few bands I like. I wouldn't dismiss that song out of hand at all, though some elements of the video are a bit gut-wrenching. I think most people are failing to realise (owing to the colour of links on this forum), that my first posts contained concealed links to these videos by adorable 80's darlings of scottish synthpop, Strawberry Switchblade:

Strawberry Switchblade - Since Yesterday,

Strawberry Switchblade - Jolene

Strawberry Switchblade - Who Knows What Love Is?

Strawberry Switchblade - Let Her Go

I will also go on record saying that, between the three versions of it I possess (one by SS, one by Current 93, two sung by Rose McDowell of SS) Since Yesterday is certainly within my 50 favourite songs of all time. I wish people would read everything if they want to take things so seriously. I mean come on people. I'm a queer. I wear nail varnish every day and I own Culture Club vinyl. I enjoy Ian Drury and early Madness. I would still fuck Marc Almond as he is today. It's not that I don't like fun, I just like a different sort of fun to most people.

Wait guys. I just had an idea.

Can we grow genital moustaches?

I believe that's called pubic hair.

Khar, would you agree that The Legendary Pink Dots most recent dozen or so albums have what could arguable be called a "twee" element to them?  Because that just now occurred to me.  And it's not just Ed's voice, either.  I mean, listen to "Princess Coldheart".

There's a difference between a pubic beard and a genital moustache.

I don't see why you couldn't do that with pubic hair. Just shave off everything 'till you're left with a mustache.

A friend of my sisters called the "shaving everything except a mound of hair above the genitals" (or whatever that's called) a "vagina goatee." So I say they're the same.

I hope Sufjan gets to Hawaii or Alaska sometime, those should be really interesting.

Anyway, continue your rant...

I can't wait until Sufjan Stevens gets to New York, because then he'll HAVE TO write something about Buffalo... Seriously, it sucks here. I want him to make us sound pretty.

Yes, that's the idea.

Except no clumps. Moustaches. Fine, waxen moustaches. Gruff handlebar moustaches. Mutton chops, while not moustaches, are still within the realm of possibility.

Endless possibility.

I am thinking, that a dude with a certain consistency and coverage of pubic hair, will be able to pull off the Pubic Lemmy.

I await the day someone attempts this, presuming somebody hasn't already.

I've seen photos of a dude who had transformed his whole penis into a dragon with wings spreading across the tops of both hips via tattoos, piercing and scarification.

What I'm saying is, there is probably an international society of men with pubic lemmys who meet up in a bar in Amsterdam every other year to swap stories and flash hookers.

man, i remember the good old days when i could listen to whatever the hell i wanted, be it twee or not, and still maintain my genitals in their current state.  Now its all bad ju ju.

I mean i listened to Neutral Milk Hotel and found erectile difficulties
i listened to franz ferdinand and i shrunk three inches
I listened to pantera and grew them back, plus a few more
I listened to Jack Johnson and grew a vagina
I listened to tool and it closed up and healed
i listened to sonic youth and suddenly im a squid down there
i had to listen to queen to clear it up

these reports are based on individual results, your results might vary
these results are also complete lies

basically, listen to whatever you want
