A Twee Little Entry

So this one will be short and to the point, as the source is. This one is from Economy-point.org, just a lil' article on Twee pop and the music industry.

The article basically has these few points:

1. Twee is simple, pretty, cute indie rock
2. Twee pretty much started in 1986 with a compilation named C86
3. The beginners and big hitters were Sarah Records in England, and K Records in America
4. There's also cuddlecore, which is a little more punk, but still adorable

So what's the deal Joseph? Why are you presenting me with this rather meager article on twee? It won't teach me anything I didn't know. Sure, I appreciate compact info, but help me out here.

Oh! A list!

Right. The article ends with a list of prominent twee pop bands, including some that have earned commercial success. The best way to know twee is to listen to twee; it will all fall into place. This fairly androgynous (ha!) website doesn't do much; but, that lil' list compiled is just a great taste of twee. Most sites give you hundreds of band names. This site does the basics. Not a bad page.

iTunes is kickin' out some Zombina and the Skeletones. I LOVE Halloween.
Eating your brain,
