When borderline twee is just what you need... Wink

Borderline? I just googled twee music and the first site I open, Rate Your Music, has a list of "top twee pop" releases and at the top is If Your Feeling Sinister, with Tigermilk in 2nd and TBWTAS at 5.
I own the above 3 discs and The Life Pursuit, they are a guilty pleasure of mine and while there may be tweeer bands, I refer to them as a prime example of twee pop. Closer to the center than the border of twee to me. Wink

(my first emoticon ever! how twee of me)

I thought that my Wink

might suggest that I was joking about the borderline designation.. or maybe not.. Very Happy

I love this album to death. It's practically the only album I've been listening to the past two weeks.

Yeah it's grown on me quickly as well....The sound is near perfect just enough spaciness to balance any tough girl moves and the production is soild.

FAVOURITE WORST NIGHTMARE....Not as gripping or immediate as the Arctic Monkeys first cd but still excellent....Considerable growth in the singing and the songwriting and the musicianship moves forward enough from the first cd that you feel it's okay to use the word growth....Contains two of my all time favorite AM songs....FLUROSCENT ADOLESCENT and DO ME A FAVOUR as well as a number of other good tunes such as TEDDY PICKER, 505, THIS HOUSE IS A CIRCUS, and THE BAD THING

Give 'er a spin today.. go on.. you know you want to.. Mr. Green

(Oh, and happy birthday to Merv!)

Great album. A supergroup that very few ever heard at the time.

Angry, hilarious, painful, honest, beautiful... my most fave-O-rite rock opera type album.. and one of my emotional anchors during those *difficult* teenaged years.. not to mention that this here album rocks proper, yes indeed...
