A TWEESOME THREESOME


There's nothing wrong with wearing twee clothes or listening to what is disparagingly referred to as twee music.

But you never see any fat folk described as twee do you? Do they only make twee clothes in the smallest possible sizes? I only ask out of curiosity, but let me know if you have the answer.

Here's three songs that some might define as 'twee'. I prefer to use the word 'great':-

mp3 : Talulah Gosh - Beatnik Boy

mp3 : The Colourfield - Thinking Of You

mp3 : Architecture In Helsinki - Scissor Paper Rock

You should know the drill by now. Try and then buy.

Some belters there JC,
The Colourfield were an incredible band, mind you Terry Hall is an incredible man, pretty much everything he's touched was forged in the purest gold... or something!

I used to have a mad crush on Taulah Gosh...
Keep that under your hat though!

I've spent a good portion of the last twenty years singing the chorus of 'thinking of you' to myself and bemoaning the fact that I've never had a copy of the song! I echo any celebration of Terry Hall. Looking forward to the others, too.

I very much enjoyed these songs, thank you for posting them!

It must be time for a Terry Hall revival. Terry, Blair and Anouchka album has a couple of great tracks also. The Specials in all their various guises remain one of my favourite bands.

And what of the Gosh - spookily, over here in Cod's Own Country, I was just reviewing their oeuvre earlier this week. Good clean fun.

Now you've done "twee", can you try "wan" ? And is their music that could be described as "dreich" ?

Yours, just coming down off those Belgian drugs....

How about you choosing the TH tracks you want and composing a few words to go along with them...then you could send the whole thing over by e-mail and I'll finish it off?


Or you could accept the long standing invite to join myself and Dr T........

I love Terry Hall's version of 'Dream a Little Dream'. It's twee-tastic.

Yes, a nice cuppa twee. That'll help calm me down and detox from all that x-rated smut.

Thank you, JC, thank you ever so much...!
