There you have it then! A pretty britpoppy bunch of selections from me this week.

BQ: The last thing that made me happy was all the great answers I got on my Discovery Mondays question.

Hey Ryan,

I'm going to try to do this in the "first song to come to mind" kind of way so it may not all make sense (in essence, I'm going to say the word to myself a couple of times in my head and see what starts playing on my internal ipod). Curious to see though.

1. Love: Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin

2. Beauty: Elliott Smith - Pitseleh

3. Greed: Tom Waits - Telephone Call to Istanbull (no idea why)

4. Wishful thinking: Wilco - Wishful Thinking

5. Youth: Kim Wilde - Kids in America

6. Success: Apollo Sunshine - Money

7. Rebellion: Sonic Youth - Chapel Hill

8. Happiness: Elliott Smith - Happiness

Ugh.....I was late to this question again. Anyways, here are my picks:

1. Animal Collective - "Bluish"

2. Cocteau Twins - "Domino"

3. Echo and The Bunnymen - "With a Hip"

4. Spiritualized - "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space"

5. Ride - "Kaleidoscope"

6. Talking Heads - "Pulled Up"

7. Sonic Youth - "Tom Violence"

8. The Flaming Lips - "Buggin' (Mokran Mix)"

BQ: The last thing that made me really happy was listening to "Bros" by Panda Bear. There's something about that wonderful, reverb-drenched vocal melody, the Beach Boys influences, and the innocence of the singing that filled me with this wonderful sense of joy. The choruses in the first part of "Bros", in particular, made me feel like a little kid again.
