tweeeee

(1/15) > >>

iamiam:
i was hanging out with some kid and i let it slip that 'if i had to choose a favorite genre i guess it would be twee'.

so then he asked 'what the fuck is twee?'

i spent a few minutes stuttering something about 'a bluh calvin johnson... twee as fuck... punk rock for wimps' but when i noticed his blank stare i told him 'you know fuck it, let me just make you a mix & explain it that way'.

and that's when i realized oh shit i love twee but actually i know nothing about it and now this guy thinks i'm an expert and i'm totally not, my cover is blown!

so ummm... hey there music forum! i notice the last topic on twee was back in 2006 so why don't we have another one?  let's talk about sarah/k records & what twee is/isn't & recommend some bands/songs & ...ok just blatantly help me build a mix.

appearing on the mix:  beat happening, heavenly, all girl summer fun band, tullycraft, belle & sebastian, talulah gosh, the lucksmiths, math & physics club, the softies, cub, bunnygrunt, the field mice
debating whether to include: architecture in helsinki, boy least likely to, camera obscura, i'm from barcelona

i'm terrible at talking about music so i'll let you guys get started and then i'll try to jump in with more detailed descriptions and suggestions.

valley_parade:
Eux Autres
Cars Can Be Blue
...that's all I got, man.

David_Dovey:
Post/Sig

Also, Boy Least Likely To is a definite yes, if that gigantic pussy isn't twee then I do not know what is

Christophe:
Any posts I make in this thread would essentially be pictures of Belle and Sebastian

I really hope I run into a member of Belle and Sebastian before I leave Glasgow so I can gush creepily about how much their music rules

Then we can drink Irn Bru together

the_pied_piper:
Sons & Daughters
Those Dancing Days
Pains of Being Pure At Heart
Le Tigre? (maybe, not sure if they are twee but they sound pretty close)

and if you aren't including Camera Obscura on a Twee mix then you're doing it wrong.
