Nice thread/s
Love this thread title!
Potentially stupid questions:
I know Altered Images were pre-twee, but could they still be considered under that umbrella?
Why no Prefab Sprout or Belle & Sebastian - too obvious?
Talking of twee actually, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart borrow from a lot of original indie-pop bands. I can't wait to see them at some point!

'There And Back Again Lane'?
Great compilation if so.

i was gonna start a thread about Twee, but since oye is the "resident expert"
i decided against it
anyways, who is everybody's fave "twee band"?
for me its gotta be
Belle & Sebastian
but then again, there may be other bands i really like that are considered "twee"
i just dont know, still
thx, i'll give it a listen in a month but dl nowBelle and Sebastian are good but I'd have to go for Beat Happening, particularly Black Candy and You Turn Me On. Tiger Trap and The Softies are well worth a listen. Calvin Johnson from Beat Happening has released some good solo stuff also.
