yesterday evening a mate pointed out to me that I have no music that could be classed as "optimistic", "happy" or "not gloomy in general" in my cd collection.
looking through the hopeless mess that is my pile o' cds I note at a glance that he may be right. this naturally sparking a discussion on what happy music is exactly. I mean, a perky, up-beat, disco-esque song that has "feel good" all over it but happens to be about the liking (or not-liking) of one's self. is that "happy music"? what about a slow dirge that is about great loss but ends up with the singer discovering that he is a better person because of it?
looking into my collection I note bands like Radiohead, Tool, Jeff Buckly, Nick Cave, Rammstein, U2, Lamb, The Smiths. even things like Travis, Sigur Ros, The Prodigy and Bran van 3000. Aparently this music will depress me, thus claims my mate, making me mope about with a face like someone shot my cat.
so....musicologists of FH, I want some happy music. preferably not made by shiny plastic people or young american girls. answers on a postcard please...
