TWEE TIME!!!

Hello, boys and girls. Today we are talking about twee music. Many fans of twee recently came together for Indietracks 2009, and there is a picture of its Sheffield-y goodness to your right.
'Twee as F---" is a phrase often espoused by certain bands, but few truly deserve the title. Twee is DIY. Twee is often political. Twee is not just some people moaning about their broken hearts (though it may include that element.) Twee is magical. Twee is inclusive of men and women of all types of ethnicities. Twee is you and me.
DJ Christo-purrr was here in the studio to help me out, as my knowledge of twee music is limited to stuff I heard in the Burgh, mainly.
