Guilty Pleasures (Music)
|
Yes I like Robbie Williams. Fuckin' deal with it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy4mXZN1Zzk And Daniel Bedingfield. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnqlsE2XfFk A bit of Ed Sheeran doesn't go amiss either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4BLVznuWnU 
When I was growing up in the mid-80's or so, I didn't like the pop or rock or any other top 40 of the day. I liked smooth jazz and new age fusion whatever. Like Kenny G. And Enya. And Ray Lynch.

I must admit, Jason Mraz is one of my favorite artists of all time. His oldest stuff, from Java Joe's in San Diego circa 2001-2, just him and Toca Rivera on Bongos, is fantastic.

I like Robbie Williams' Angels and Bodies, both songs are nice.
My confession - I think the song 'call me maybe' is really catchy

Must admit, my biggest musical guilty pleasure is the 80's hair bands.
 Seriously considering getting tickets for the upcoming Bret Micheals (ex-Poison front man) show. One of my favs:
Thief and assassin for hire. Member in good standing of the Rogues Guild.
I like this.
Lots of good stuff by Patty Griffin, much of it gospelicious.
http://youtu.be/8cdnF3NUSCY In the same vein, Patty G and Mavis Staples: http://youtu.be/wcLDpS2Rrjg Likewise I likes me some Alison Krauss. http://youtu.be/_CJfxaWRkNs But guiltiest of all I absolutely adore Gillian Welch. http://youtu.be/Pg5hZE0FCBI 
I suppose the only thing guilty about this pleasure is how long I've put it on repeat (sometimes three or four hours at a time) ever since I bought it.

Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. 
W'ist, don't ever feel guilty about Allison Krause!
Honestly, I don't think I listen to any music I feel is a guilty pleasure... I'm almost completely intolerant of crap music. I just realized I'm about to embark on a road trip with my sister who, while she has great taste in music for the most part, also has some crap taste. Oh gawds.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
I can't do music on a road trip. Gotta be a podcast. I have been fascinated with a podcast called 99% Invisible. It is about design. So good!
