PS -> Is it a sign that I'm a true nerd that I experience actual (albeit low-level) trepidation about starting a topic that might bomb? I mean, what will that do for my forum rep?
Nah, we're music nerds. We'll make lists till the day we die (AND BE PROUD OF IT).
Anyways - I'm interested to hear your answers.
Also - Sufjan Steven's "That Dress Looks Nice on You"
YES! I absolutaly love this one, along with Rise - short but amazing. you should hear the original by Indio just in case you didn't know, its a remake. =)

beautiful beautiful beautiful. Disney movies lost a lot when they went the way of the Broadway musical, with all the characters dancing around and wailing like idiots. This is way better.

Thanks for the link to the original Hard Sun - i had heard it was aremake but had never heard the original.. great!
The Rescuers.. hot damn. I feel sorry for kids who grow up today with all the ADD shows & movies. The oldies are just fantastic. I also loved Robin Hood
man i'm sitting on my front porch this morning enjoying the wicked sunny weather and listening to the birds. i had my ipod on shuffle and 'a ridge between mountains' came on, which i haven't heard since last summer....shit is perfect music for sunny days.
Seven Forty Seven

i love the original rescuers.
here are a couple of songs that make me happy to be alive:
girls - hellhold ratrace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcqwfFKagH4 something about bleak helplessness of our generation that really resonates with me. "some times you just gotta make it for yourself"
dom - living in america http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdA2SAdSgc0 this guys one of my friends from highschool. hes blowing up and getting reviewed on pitchfork. makes me happy to know that SOMEONE around me is actually making it! plus the songs super catchy.
the black dog - 3/4 heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skdAlYG9WcE autechre - bike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE_P5S1Hb6I these early nineties electronica tracks remind me of a time when electronic music was new and crazy to me. they predict a hyper-civilized future with flying cars and cyberspace. since we're never gonna get to see that, i listen to this.
