Let's kick off 2004 on a positive, uplifting note - here is "Inspiration Information" by Shuggie Otis. It's about as happy-and-optimistic-without-being-syrupy-sweet as music can get, which is possibly the hardest songwriting feat of all to pull off successfully - there are a ton of mediocre talents who've managed to write great angry and/or depressing songs from time to time, but quality songs that are genuinely upbeat are few and far between.
