Song: headz in da cloudz
Artist: Danielson Famile
Album: A Prayer for Every Hour
Also try: Half-Handed Cloud, CocoRosie
Commentary: I read about Daniel Smith's 1995 thesis project-cum-concert-cum-family reunion almost a decade after the fact when I was like 14 and thought he was so cool. They dressed up like nurses, a giant tree, and later sailors. And then there's their deranged circus music with the yelping falsetto of Daniel Smith. Music this far left-of-the-dial, but with both evangelical lyrics about Jesus and indie rock cred is a pretty interesting phenomenon (matched only, perhaps, by Danielson's sometime collaborators, Soul Junk). Danielson's something special.
PS - The original performance of the song (not the music video) sounds like it was some *awesome* performance art (ask the Internet for deets).
