It's like at the circus
When you get lost in the crowd
You're happy but nervous

One of my favorite lyrics.

grateful dead - drums/space

Lil Wayne Feat Mannie Fresh - Bring it Back
Dan Deacon - Moses vs. Predator
Crystal Castles - Knights
Hello Astronaut, Goodby Television - Old Computer Yellow
Unicorns - Les Os

Just ones I've heard in the last 24 hours.

And a few of the most brilliant songs ever, IMHO.

1. Neutral Milk Hotel - Two Headed Boy Part 2
2. Cat Power - Ice Water
3. Xiu Xiu - Apistat Commander
4. A Silver Mt. Zion - Movie (Never Made)
5. Animal Collective - Fireworks

Two headed boy part 2 is brilliant.

I'd also say Song Against Sex is up there as far as NMH goes...

Olivia Tremor Control had a few brilliant songs.

Lately (the past 2 years or so) Brian Wilson is always a go to when someone brings up the term Brilliant.

I know it's not most ppl's style on here, or if it was, it's been listened to, burnt out, and overplayed and possibly your opinion of it has changed overtime as well....but just about EVERY song on "Pet Sounds" is brilliant. I still think it's relevant, for now. That may change eventually. Like all taste does. If you don't like the way it sounds, that's fine, but as a musician, you should respect what is going on there. Otherwise yr just jaded.

I forgot Kingdom of Heaven by 13th floor elevators.

damn Satan, you already got the entire SYG sprung on yr tip, and now you gwon and wink at i-man?

wipers - when it's over

radiohead 4 minute Warning
