twee orgins, this is like the millionth time i have posted on this. It might be best to go to twee.net. They have a bit with the history of twee, since the people who started the site, were heavily involved with the early days of twee and indiepop. These people were the same that had alot to do with the sarah(uk) and bus stop(usa) labels. It might also be helpful to find somebody who was on one of those labels since they generally know alot about the history of twee and indie pop. Generally from the people i know on bus stop simon and garfunkel is probably the earliest influence. Chris P. ===== www.mp3.com/sevenstars So many days pass lost in the skyline. Some things still take my heart away and leave me weaping. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
