Twee virðist aldrei hafa ratað almennilega inn í íslenska dægurlaga menningu, og það er kominn tími til að breyta því.

Colin Clary And The Magogs - The Shape of This Town The Smittens - Doomed, Lo-Fi And In Love To: Simon SVC From: Elizabeth SVC, Twee Like Me Division OFFICIAL DISPATCH Just a quick note to say that all is well in the world of boy-girl cheap guitar pop. It's a bit lonely, though. The division is down to one person at the moment; poor Terry couldn't see past his fringe, and he
