i dont really know what "Twee as f***" means :confused:
but magnetic fields and television personalities are awesome
so i'll give a listen :thumb:
 
wow thank you so much. i posted a thread a long time ago asking if anybody had any k records or twee stuff and nobody responded. this will certainly do. thanks.


i just found operation heavenly on vinyl for 8 bucks the other day, thought that was pretty cool
 
I think Heavenly make absolutely gorgeous music, so I'm going to check out some of the other bands I've not heard in that list.
 
Thanks! I love Los Campesinos!'s version of C Is The Heavenly Option. I'm not sure of the punctuation there.
 
Made me think of this. You may or may not be interested.
 
Thanks, terence. Just a drop in the bucket, hopefully it will inspire more people to search out more "twee" music.

Thanks for the link, Absurd. The fanzine is available in pdf form?! And crosswords puzzles! I'm going to enjoy this! I didn't think there were any out there anymore, cover to cover, except for the stray online zine or re-issue. :thumb:
 
The Pitchfork article terence was referring to, for the uninitiated. Hey, there's been over 180 views on this thread, so maybe more people will be a little more curious. Or maybe this thread has run its course!
 
thanks hidden , i meant to post a link then forgot.or became lazy.either one.

i grew up going to see velocity girl and small factory all the time, so twee will always be special to me.
