Sinister: Twee goings on

[Rob ASH]

hello there, 
my name's rob, although I've been subscribing to the list
for a coupla weeks now this is the first time I've actually
sent something.

The other day I happened upon a really great 24 track CD
compilation of loads of Twee bands, the names of which
I cannot recall, and it wouldn't matter if I listed them
'cause they're all really obscure ('though I can remember
The Duglessettes, white town, and fluf, fluff, fluff, fluff,
fluff and cuddle). anyway, 24 tracks at the bargain price 
of 1.99 courtesy of my local SCOPE charity shop. (y'know
they used to be called the spastics society but that weren't
cool so they changed the name, so kids now call each other 
scopes instead of spastics, so I've been told by my mate's
younger brother)

I also found some old Creation compilations, loads of
pastels, felt, house of love and similarly twee indie
goin's on. Methinks I'm goin' crazy, how much twee can
one person take, I mean at the moment its all I listen to.
Maybe I'll have some kind of adverse reaction and suddenly
start liking korn, marilyn manson, deftones, coal chamber,
metallica, etc, etc...
just like one of my mates did, he used to be a big B&S 
fan but somehow almost overnight turned into a greaser,
taking all his fey indiennonsense to mistersecond hand
record shop and trading it in for something with a bit
more kkkkkrunch.

(a cautionary tale I feel....)

well, I better go now...
hugs and cuddles to you all,

rob       *

wot I am listening to at the moment:
   the tap tap of computers as many lazy students
   attempt to type up their essays for 4:00PM today.

wot I'm listening to on my knackered stereo:
   nu boo's LP
   field mice compliation
   creation compilations
   roddy frame 'reason for living'
   mercury rev 'goddess on a highway'
   SFA 'outspaced'
