Guilty Pleasures redux

I hate myself for this, but I'm really loving the Morningwood album. "Nth Degree" is my favorite band theme song since "Action Time Vision" by Alternative TV.

That's a perfectly reasonable guilty pleasure. Unlike my completely unreasonable infatuation with the song "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" by Fall Out Boy, which I have played every day for the last 2 months since getting it from Itunes. Don't care for their album, but something about that song.....something that beckons me......something.....evil.

Heh, one of mine is Aqua's "Doctor Jones". Still love that song to this day.

Reno, why do you hate yourself for that?

i really wanted to like something/anything about that morningwood album, but i've never been able to make it all the way through yet...

umm, but i suppose the first song offa the new action action album could be considered a guilty pleasure (if i was able to feel guilt about anything). ooooooh, such a new wavey little dream!!! errrr, but i haven't been able to make it all the way through the rest of that record either...haha

Is Bryan Adams the singer the same Bryan Adams in whose home Lindsey Lohan recently injured herself? I never could figure it out from the breathless news stories reporting this major event in world history.

yes the very same "cuts like a knife" dude.......

btw he has 3 books of photography out, the latest is with Calvin Klein called "American Women" in which our little Lindsay is one of the subjects

i once reviewed a BA concert (for a knight ridder no less) and i said that i have seen the future and BA is the death of rock and roll.

and they fired me!

and then a few months later they (The Akron Beacon Urinal) ran an interview with elvis c who took time out from his hatred of ray charles to say that BA was the death (in so many words) of music.

needless to say i cut out the article and highlighted the verbiage (a la Scorpio in Dirty Harry) and sent it off to my ex editor who never replied, nor when i drunkenly accosted her in a singles bar in west akron later that year, a bar owned by the Outlaws' Freddy Salem.

Ah, the eighties!

and it was worth it because that anecdote is the day's best.
Happened to have run into BA a couple times (in public) and he's very amicable. Was with an ex-girlfriend who was being tagged by her newly ex-boyfriend who inexplicably accosted BA with "you think your're hot shit but you ain't that great!". The trappings of stardom. Ah, the eighties.

"Nth Degree" is a perfect little pop dropping--Bay City Rollers meets Tiffany meets Blondie meets some nu metal band from 1999--and there's nothing shameful in liking it. Rejoice, brother, rejoice.
