Daniel Johnston once wrote a song called "Go". It is, first off, adorable. I'm gonna go out on a limb and call this a "self-consciously imperfect masterpiece. " And I am not really sure what that means. Daniel Johnston has this weird ownership of songs unique to himself... each one can be played by just him on a stage with one instrument. One minute you think "no one else can pull this off-" - and next thing you know Sparklehorse and the Flaming Lips are pulling "Go" off right in front of your ears. Also, a Welshman made a video for "Go" available on YouTube.

The Apples (in Stereo) once wrote a song called "Go". These guys know pop music, and "Go" is no exception. It's a delight. You can find it on their album The Discovery of a World Inside The Moone which came out on spinART. You can find a video of my favorite song of theirs, Ruby, live at Desdemona, on YouTube.

Moby once wrote a song called "Go" and all of a sudden people started caring about him, and next thing you know he's in a tiff with eminem. Once again, take it away YouTube - Moby's "Go."
