We talk to members of Dream Diary in our latest Band Booking.
Twee literature is apparently a real thing.  If you could pick one book that could be considered “twee as fuck,” what would it be?
Jacob: It would be a book from the time of the British New Wave in the 1950s and 60s, such as Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. So many twee song titles and band names come from those books. Didn’t Alex just read A Taste of Honey?
Alex: I did just finish A Taste of Honey, but it’s not as “Twee” as Morrissey makes it out to be.  However, I have to choose Yukio Mishima’s The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea ….  it’s like ATOH, but with more kids doing bad stuff, and an even more bizarre mother. It’s totally worth writing a song about this book, especially a tough-wimpy one.
