A few years ago I got a Pitchfork inspired twee mix on Oink but it had more tracks:

If anybody wants the others I can upload my mix too.

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?

Altered Images and Prefab Sprout aren't considered as twee, they hadn't signed to indie labels.
Original twee is Postcard, Cherry Red, Subway, Summerhouse, el, Sarah Records, 53rd & 3rd and other small indie labels.
Belle and Sebastian is second generation of twee.

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!

Yes, i bought "there and back again lane" & "Fountain Island" "many years ago.
They are great. I found the "Shadow Factory" vinyl Lp in Paris for 3 euros a few days ago

treading lightly
Back to articles on twee, if anyone wants to read more about the genre, I have a pdf file of an essay someone from the Univ of Lund wrote that I saved from '05 when it was first put on the internet. I tried to search it, but it's no longer available. It's lengthy at 28 pages, but I thought it was well written.

Long live this thread.

Not really considered a Twee band at all, but I think twee lovers would like this band called Essential Logic.

Belle 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.

Thanks for bumping the thread, Robby.
I grew up loving beat Happening, my first tattoo was the K records logo, I was so annoyed when I found out Kurt Cobain had the same tattoo.Calvin is a real nice guy too, I met him a few years ago.
I do not know if I could pick out one band and say they are my fave twee band.
I shall work on a new Twee compilation to post,one of these days...
