my own (currently right enough)

oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    1. Heatmiser - Plainclothes Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bI4Now__Qo

    One of Elliott Smith's finest moments. Such great melody and lyrics.

    Wow I think that's the hardest question I've ever heard, and I just took a quantum physics final where the average grade was a 28%.

    I think I'd have to go with:

    Pearl Jam- Faithfull Just seems kind of appropriate

    Jeff Buckley- Hallelujah Again, appropriate, and one of my favorite vocal
    performances ever.

    Radiohead- Weird Fishes/Arpeggi Overall sound and personal significance
    "Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."

    Pearl Jam - Oceans

    Elliott Smith - Angeles

    Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Moya
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead

    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    On the Beach - Neil Young
    Simple Twist of Fate - Bob Dylan
    Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python

    Life's a piece of shit,
    When you look at it.
    Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
    You'll see it's all a show.
    Keep 'em laughing as you go.
    Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
    And...
    Now I'm livin' out here on the beach,
    but those seagulls are still out of reach.
