Everything released as Mount Eerie is much much better than all of the Microphones stuff put together. The Glows were so boring.

whatever, i saw them play, and i know what i saw, it was tweeness and it was diabolically bad.

mount eerie is not twee pop...it's similar to dnd-era liars or super ae-era boredoms.

i can't say i'm much familiar with anything else by them, but mount eerie is an excellent album.

yes, i know, i was saying that because your post contradicts mine, but refers to the album, not the band, i was refering to the band. who most certainly were twee pop.

When I think of twee pop I think of things like the Postal Service, Mates of State, and other shit. Never the microphones.

ah, dunno.

i know mount eerie by the microphones and i have one mount eerie album on mp3s which i forgot what it's called, but it follows the line of well...very repetitive post

i don't know enough to say if they are or not twee pop, but belle and sebastian, camera obscura (scotland)...that's what i hear is twee pop

As I'm more familiar with his Mount Eerie stuff, I only recognized some songs from The Glow Pt. 2, notably the first three tracks of the album - very stripped down versions, only Phil and some other guy on keyboards and effects. After that they were joined by two portuguese musicians (bass + drums) and played more upbeat stuff like Wind's Poem "Between Two Mysteries". Nice little show, looking forward to the Mount Eerie one today, although it's partly overlapped with Lee Ranaldo's - who was at yesterday show's venue, although he left short before the start.

The Glow pt.2 is so goddamn good. I know everyone knows that, but it's extremely true.
