If you're in an exceptionally good mood, listen and be delighted. (Keep the Lithium close for emergencies, however.)
Ian Curtis, from Joy Division, singing the Velvet Underground song "Sister Ray." Ever since I first heard this song at about 14, it has filled me with such vibrant joy (something about the minimalist, yet inexplicably swinging proto-punk groove), that the Republican party (was there ever more nauseating version of the word "party?" ) would have made it illegal, had they known. But they never tuned to "those stations". Love this version. All these years later (and even factoring in the the anguish from not starting a band when I was fourteen) it still fills me with delight.
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living. -Terry Pratchett
