The interface of twee.net! A website created in 1994 to make an archive of information about the then thriving indiepop/"twee" music scenes around the world accessible. It has everything from biographies of important bands and labels to newsletters from the past so you can get a little glimpse into what it was once like to live as a pophead.
It still has the same appearance it has had since it was started making it a bit of a time capsule but it is still very useable and full of valuable information.
I'm currently a moderator on there who specializes in checking up on labels and adding new releases/completing discographies. I also like documenting newer bands who have formed recently to not have everything too stuck in the past. There are plenty of great discoveries I have made.

The Umbrellas — Fairweather Friend (Slumberland)
Tumblr media
The Umbrellas’ second album opens with a shimmer of cymbal, a bobbling pogo stick of bass, a jagged slash of guitar, hitting harder from the get-go than in the dream-poppy self-titled. Two distinct personalities emerge from songs which alternate lead singers. “Three Cheers,” and indeed, all the cuts lead sung by Matt Ferrara, leans hard into Postcard Records/C86-ish pop. Here especially, Ferrara’s scrappy heartfelt vocals give off a good whiff of Orange Juice’s Edwyn Collins, and his dueling, scrabbling guitar jangle with Morgan Stanley evokes harder, more angular bands of the era, like Fire Engines.
Then, when Stanley takes the mic, the sonics turn softer and more expansive. In careening “Goodbye,” she starts the verse against the dry tinder of drumming (that’s Keith Frerichs), the playful hop of bass (Nik Oka) then twirls and swirls in giddy “bah bah bahs” at the chorus. Her songs have the barbed sweetness of the Aislers Set and Camera Obscura.
The two switch off, both between and within songs, and some of the best cuts are the ones where they both sing. “Gone” jangles dizzily around Ferrara’s rough, pitchy romanticism, while Stanley volleys in angelic, perfect descants in a dream-scented soprano.
The Umbrella’s debut was a pleasure, but Fairweather Friend aims at deeper feelings, sharper guitar play and more rambunctious rhythms. The closing “PM” feels like it’s going to be an introspective ending, as liquid, lyrical guitars crisscross and Ferrara channels hurt and confusion. But it kicks up in a surprising way, ratcheting up the power chords, rumbling up some drums, and inviting Stanley in from the wings to lead feathery layers of melodic ecstasy. The Umbrellas have always offered bashed up, joyriding sweetness, but here they reach at—and intermittently attain—a Spector-esque wall of rock ‘n roll sound. Even better, that larger scale doesn’t undermine the vulnerability of their songs, but instead amplifies and clarifies it.

There’s a new book out on the history of Sarah Records and it’s a whopper!  It’s so thick and full of all things Sarah and the Bristol scene at that time.  It will definitely be taking me on a trip down memory lane and bringing back all those forgotten memories of days gone by.  The 1st print run has almost sold out but don’t worry another run is planned. The book’s written by Bristol author Jane Duffus & if you buy the book, you might also spot some of my photos!
Ahh I miss those days where you could go to a gig and come back with a fanzine and a flexi for 50p and then spend hours reading up of all these new and exciting bands that wouldn’t get the slightest mention in the music press.
Last night was the official launch of the book and we were treated to a really interesting interview with Matt Haynes who recounted the trials and tribulations of the label.  Afterwards Blueboy who hadn’t played for 30 years gave us a ½ hour acoustic set and it sounded great.  It was all very sweet.  I didn’t manage to grab the one and only setlist this time but it went to a deserving guy who had travelled from Madrid for the gig and kindly let me take a photo.

2/18/24.
After a few seconds of listening to "Land of Glacier" I assumed Penny Arcade was a 1980s British indie band. The melodic guitar and vocals reminded me of any number of C86 bands. The vocals are perfectly situtated between Chrissy Hynde and Lloyd Cole.
While Penny Arcade were active in the 1980s, they originally formed in Tokyo, Japan. KiliKiliVilla (we covered the excellent 800 Cherries release a couple months ago) remastered tracks and released a compilation CD, "A Girl From Penny Arcade" back in 2016. This led to the band reforming, and now a 7" of their first new music in decades.

More patch jacket updates. The plan going forward is to make more second-wave emo band patches, and ofc some flying nun bands to go with my flying nun patch. Also I wanna obtain some more music themed badges which I’ll get my friend to make for me out of bottle caps. I’ve already got one badge made by them which is the logo of my friend’s band.
