i nominate disco inferno. the band. one of the greats, but i'm the only person i know who knows this. and i know a lot of music nazis. i've done my part. but it pays no dividends. d.i. go pop and technicolour are two of the best albums of the 90s. i sigh. it must be the name. they're ungoogleable. ungooglable? ungooglitious.

jet, you should watch "chunking express." there's a long bit of it that kind of centers around that song. tony leung plays the male lead (and he is awesome.) (and the female lead is gorgeous.) after that, watch "happy together." both are by wong kar-wai.
"happy together" is really great. the first scene (gay luvvins) gets rid of all the homophobes. beyond that beauty, there's lots of other beauty in it as well.

Surprising lack of discussion of Nirvana in a lot of the comments...I thought that's what this article was about...
