See!
Heās lying. Clearly. Or heās a fucking idiot. Clearly.
Belle and Sebastian = twee
The Pastels = twee
C86 compilation = twee
Sujfan Stevens = something that is quite quiet and melodic but not twee.

There is a school of thought that any great album only has so many ālistensā in it.
If you stop listening, Bear, youāll leave more for the rest of us.
But before you go. Give this one a listen.
Yes, we know itās a bit twee.
Another Sotonian member posted this the other day and I listened to it and really enjoyed it. I heard a few song, but this one was my favourite.
Hey Bletch,
Iāve seen the Handsome Family play a few times, here and in the States, and pretty much every time I come away feeling underwhelmed. I *should* like them, lots of people who like the same music as I do, like them, but it never quite happens. I guess when it comes down to it, I just think theyāre a bit average.
That said, Iām hyper picky about music.
Iāve put them in my - Iām not a fan, but Iām a fan of people who are fans - category.
Thatās a coincidence, because I too see you being mostly right on this forum, Cholula.
Wrong!
Fair enough, Lou.
Iām impressed that I found a little common ground between us.
The twee movement (as defined by me) is what you will experience up and down this country if you go to any venue that is running a singer songwriter or open mic session. You will usually see back to back artists with a selection of strange and unusual instruments, one of which will always be an xylophone, plus 2 acoustic guitarists and a singer with a very hushed quirky vocal style.
That, sir, is the twee movement, which I blame on Sufjan Stevens!
Yeah, I enjoyed that.
This is In the same category for me, I really shouldnāt like it, but it is just gets in my head, and then I canāt get rid of itā¦
ā¦rid of itā¦
ā¦rid if itā¦
EDIT: Different video - this is much better.

If you like The Handsome Family, you might like Neko Case. She is amazing.
To be fair, heād probably tear apart any of the music I listen to too. 
Now youāre talking, Lou.
Iāve seen Neko Kase a couple of times. Once at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth around about the time Middle Cyclone came out, and again last year (might have been the year before) in London.
First gig was excellent, second less so.
Her voice, and that of the backing singer/co-vocalist are absolutely stunning.
Iāll raise you thisā¦

Yay! Neko Case is completely and utterly kick arse. Iāve seen her about ten times now, through different stages of her career and though I like some things she does more others, her gigs are always great. I think sheās a great lyricist as well.
Her backing singer is Kelly Hogan, who has her own successful career, although probably not to the same level:
Surprised you missed this one Bletchā¦ 
Sheās a good friend of the band.
