Title: Guilty Pleasures
Post by: tommytwotone on September 03, 2006, 11:40:18 am
Having read the over-rated bands thread, this got me reviewing the music file on my PC.

So, while keeping your credible shit proudly on display round the house, what music do you enjoy in secret when you're sure no-one else is listening?

A few of mine:

James Taylor
Phil Collins
Alexander O'Neal

Think that's enough for now..

Run to the Hills, Maiden.  It's in this machine somewhere.

Blue Monday, New Order.  (Somehow I feel I shouldn't enjoy this, but I do.)

Rio, Duran Duran.

All the HomosapienLP, Pete Shelley.

Nelly Furtado - Maneater

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

and like TTW an occassional foray into Phil Collins/Genesis

*hangs head on shame*

Edwin Collins - Never met a girl like you before.  Strangely good for lifting weights to.


Phil Collins - Solo & Genesis vocals = excrement. 

(Drums for Genesis w/Peter Gabriel is a different story.  Gotta be one of the trippiest interesting prog/folk rock bands we produced.  Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and the early live LP - all great, far-out records from a very fertile time in Rock.  No shame here.)

Rio, Duran Duran.

I prefer Planet Earth, but generally any Duran Duran.

I also bought Gwen Stefani's album for my mum and ended up keeping it for myself.

where do i begin......a quick look through my mp£s reveals:

sash! - mysterious times
jive bunny - swing the mood
reel2real - i like to move it
craig david Vs Survivor - eye of the tiger/fill me in - this is absolutley dynamite
n-trance - kung fu fighting - i could have also listed their version of D.I.S.C.O.
clock - oh what a night
mark morrison - return of the mack
50 cent - u not like me
ace of base - all that she wants - note to self: find The Sign on mp3
betty boo - doin' the do - god knows why i downloaded this, probably after Yoda 80s mix came out
dead or alive - you spin me round (like a record)
right said fred - i'm too sexy
that "super mario land" tune
peter andre - mysterious girl - me and scouse found this an excellent font trip Proton singallong tune. I remember Paz crying on the backseat.
snow - informer
stompin tom conners - the good old hockey game - only relevant to anyone who went to the steelers in the 94-98ish period
tom jones - its no unusual
usher - u remind me - for some reason this reminds me of Foot & Mouth disease. I think its because it was always on the radio 1 on a sunday morning on the way over to Ramshaw, along with the next tune. Thank you Mikee B and DJ spoony.
DJ pied piper - do you really like it - ditto
shirley bassey - goldfinger
aqua - turn back time

some of the above are quite good, only mark morrison and 50 cent i would deem to me pieces of music with absolutley no redeeming features whatsoever. I'm sure some of you will bag to differ.
Title: Re: Guilty Pleasures
Post by: tommytwotone on September 03, 2006, 10:54:11 pm
following further review of the mp3 file...

Sade - Sweetesy Taboo / Smooth Operator (why do I have this 80s smooth soul shit? I don't know.)
Simply Red - Holding Back The Years  (kwality karaoke tune, but again, why?)

I also found Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgettin' (We're Not In Love Any More), but IMO it's absolved by the fact it's the sample from the mighty Regulate.

oh, and Dave...is there ever any excuse for Jive Bunny or Peter Andre??
Title: Re: Guilty Pleasures
Post by: dave on September 03, 2006, 11:04:07 pm
the peter andre thing I listed to stictly in an ironic sense. As for jive bizzle, what can i say, doesn't everyone like 1950s swing/rock&roll computer mixed over a synthesised drumbeat? Bit of trivia, the jive bunny studio is only like 10mins walk from me peeps crib, i've seen the platinum discs for swing the mood, lets twist again etc and shit in there. Not that i was in there for that reason, I think we were in to buy some tidy trax hard house classics on vinyl.

It still hurts me like an old wound.  What you on about, the rest of them are cool - I've not actually heard you listen to much else. 

I've got loads of these cos I by my records in Asda:

Meatloaf (Greatest Hits including the more recent Andrew Lloyd Webber tracks.  Oops.  )
Outkast.
Chas and Dave.
Pet Shop Boys (the old Discography stuff and Go West doesn't count as being too embarassing but bonus points if anyones got the new stuff).
Erasure
The Smiths.  OK I bought it for the guitar on How Soon is Now, but jesus the rest is anal crap.
Aha.  As above but bought for take on me.
Kelis
Estelle
Lumidee
Lots of stuff that I bought just because I kept seeing it i the shop and wondered what it was like.
Bon Jovi - and I saw them live!

OK so non of that's too bad and anyway I'm greatful I never bought a Skunk Anansi album, Menswear, Blue Tones or any Radiohead, but
for the really embarassing stuff we have to pretend it's 1995 and think that anything obscure will be worth a fortune, any
old guitar album will be the next Definitely Maybe, and anyone with a guitar might achieve fame and stardom.  I'm also a sucker for anything
that says limited edition on it.  This might have made me and many other people oblivious to the fact that what we were listening to was utter shite. 

Oasis - Be Here Now.  I couldn't bring myself to take it back to the shop.  I've got those stupid fag boxes for the singles too. 
Red Kross - who?  Think it was 50p and worth the risk.
Five too many Geneva singles
and the worst of the worst:  Ocean Colour Scene.  Nothing that bad can make the Riverboat song and The Circle worth while and the thought of giving money to those boring tossers makes me sick. 

But the embarassing ones I actually listen to still are:
Supernaturals, Space, Catatonia, Octopus, Speedy, Symposium, Tiger.

Until recently I was done with indy.  Like most genres, if it's mediocre then it's unlistenable crap, but it's double embarassing if it's a bunch of sweaty moaning blokes making a racket.

Dave's list is superb...

Mine is as follows:

Betty Boo - Doin' The Doo (serious music for serious people)
Bryan Adams - Summer of 69 (i can't believe i am admitting this)
C+C Music Factory - Things That Make You Go Hmmm (well, it does, doesn't it?)
Chicane - Saltwater (it's wank, but i can't help it)
Deelite - Groove is in the Heart (is it a guilty pleasure? maybe, maybe not)
Faith No More - Epic (umm, next question)
George Michael - too many to mention (er, yes)
Joss Stone - that album (never listened to it though - think i had an ulterior motive for copying it)
Lionel Richie - All Night Long (guilty as charged)
MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This (one day I'll learn the lyrics)
Michael Jackson - too many to mention (for the children)
Natalie Imbruglia - Torn (well you would, wouldn't you)
PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss (pass)
The Primitives - Crash (and only last night as well)
Prince - numerous (becoming more and more guilty every day)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - numerous (The Future Sound of Croydon)
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (never going to tape over you)
S Club 7 - You're My Number One (ok, I made that one up)
Salt'n'Pepa / En Vogue - Whatta Man (catchy as crabs)
Terence Trent D'Arby - Sign Your Name (well, i like it)
Toploader - Dancing in the Moonlight (I deleted this as soon as I discovered it though)
U2 - various (Bono is a cunt, hence their appearance here)
Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag (ok ok)
Will Smith - Gettin' Jiggy With It (if it's any conciliation, i think he's a cunt too)

as will self said , "confession is such a bodily relief, don't you agree? it's like shitting out guilt..."

i dug up this great interview with mick hucknall the other day:

RedHead Today - Hey Mick.
Mick Hucknall - Good morning.
RT - Ok, first things first.  You are the most famous ginger bloke in the world.  But why are you such a cunt?
MH - Genetics.  Many of my ancestors were cunts, and as a result I have inherited a great number of cunty characteristics.
RT - But you're not a average cunt though Mick.  You are something special.
MH -Thank you.  Yes, well, there is an element of nurture as well as nature.  Paul McKenna has me on a permanent course of hypnosis that ensures that I never forget to behave like, well, like the most unpleasant cunt in the world.
RT - That's dedication!
MH - I am a professional.
RT - So Mick, tell us about the girls?
MH - What is there to tell?  I am repugnant in every way, but I do have a lot of money.  As a result, I enjoy a never-ending supply of brainless large breasted women.
RT - So you wouldn't describe yourself as a feminist then?
MH - Fuck off.
RT - Any news on the new album?
MH - Yes.  It's being produced by Damon Dash.  You know - the fat fuck with the new trainers every day.  He's hooking me up with lots of new girls actually.  Anyway, the album is kind of a new direction for me.  He's trying to move me away from my traditional whining cunt style.  I kinda like the new sound as it happens.  He's calling it "ghetto cunt". 
RT - Nice. Well, thanks Mick.
MH - Whatever.  Can you lend us £20 for the cab home?
RT - You really are a cunt, aren't you?
MH - Der. Yes...

We also downloaded all the lyrics, and then sat there and watched the remastered version of the film singing along at full blast.......  :oops:

The best bit of that was where Maurice left his little speccy brother to sit uncomfortably for a minute before leaving too.  So naff.  So great!  Aren't they Australian?

I wonder if that's got anything to do with C. Andersons' disappearance from UK terrestrial TV.  I liked him sometimes, he had no neck movement at all - kinda odd.
Title: Re: Guilty Pleasures

He is no-neck, but can be really funny. All 3 Gees are/were from the Isle of Man.

I thought the brother was cool to stay on, he was the only one not being an arse...but then he had to go otherwise no doubt Maurice would have slapped him with his hair or something.

Shame Hot Chip didn't win though.

You got into the rest of the album then? Dunno why they put the worst track first though.

Anyone who thinks the Roses are overrated is a fool. In only two albums and a few singles there is more gold than most artists manage in a lifetime. Just keep the thread in perspective, I'll mention U2 and The Beatles again.
Title: Re: Guilty Pleasures
Post by: Bubba on September 06, 2006, 09:39:18 am

I like both Hot Chip albums, though they do go off into lyrical madness from time to time. I think Boy from School is my favourite track though.

U2. Exactly. Cunts.

I think The Beatles were awesome within the context of their time, but it all seems a bit wet now days. Still like some of their stuff though.

Unbelievable. Before someone else corrects me:

Quote
Born in Douglas, on the Isle of Man, Barry and twins Robin and Maurice Gibb started their singing very young  -when they were nine and six years old- in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, where the family had moved in 1955. The three brothers and two friends of theirs started performing as "The Rattlesnakes" and "Wee Johnny Hays and The Blue Cats" in some movie theaters in Chorlton. In 1958 the family moved again, this time to Australia,

Three years in Chorlton and for some reason the good folk of Oldham are crowing about it fifty years later. Retards.

Anyone who thinks the Roses are overrated is a fool.

Boy am I so comfortable to be called a fool over the Roses.  They are cunts.  Mani....  Fuck!  I am the resurrection!  Yep.  And I'm a cream cheese bagel.

They take half a decade to record their 2nd LP.  And boy was it worth the wait.  I'm glad the guitarist took up cycling.  Student music - at best.

I do like some of Browns' solo work though, in particular the song and video to F.E.A.R.  Which is quite touching.

The Stone Roses did at least have the grace to split when they hit rock-bottom - an act some bands prolong far too long.



I confess to feeling something for Depeche Mode.  Yes, I know I should rinse my mouth out straight away... but I like them for reasons I don't fully understand.  It could be the Umek remixes.
Title: Re: Guilty Pleasures
Post by: Bubba on September 06, 2006, 09:52:16 am

Why? Depeche Mode were excellent.

Almost everything becomes dated, but it doesn't mean it's overrated. It's cunts like U2/Madonna/Robbie who keep churning out bollocks today that are the real villains.
Title: Re: Guilty Pleasures
Post by: Houdini on September 06, 2006, 10:21:56 am
Why? Depeche Mode were excellent.

You mean you don't rate them now, but did in the Yamaha DX7 days?  I bought Playing the Angel recently and found it fairly uncomfortable listening.  Violator is buch better.

My girlfriend is overly fond of Dave Gahan (cunt) but I really like his voice.  Sometimes they really hit the spot.  I've been trying to find a Umek remix of I feel loved which I think is very neat indeed, but only found small clips not worth  posting.  (It's the penultimate track on his Torture Chamber 2 mix CD).

Sometimes, but only sometimes I think DM get on top of themselves and make great music eg.  Enjoy the Silence.  A great smack song, perhaps as good as Golden Brown.  I also like their association with Anton Corbijn, a very good photographer indeed.

And I don't think it's fair to blame modern musics' medicrity on Madonna/Williams et al.  Being shit doesn't really correllate with populaity - in all cases.

(I wouldn't have a Coldplay LP in the house.  Or Snow Patrol.  But then I'm a music-nazi...)

GAAAAAaaaAAAaahh!           


Begone foul beast!


(http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/exorcist/maxvonsydow.jpg)


I cast you out, unclean spirit, along with every Satanic power of the enemy, every spectre from hell, and all your fell companions; in the name of our Lord Jesus  Christ. Begone and stay far from this creature of God.  For it is He who commands you, He who flung you headlong from the heights of heaven into the depths of hell. It is He who commands you, He who once stilled the sea and the wind and the storm. Hearken, therefore, and tremble in fear, Satan, you enemy of the faith, you foe of the human race, you begetter of death, you robber of life, you corrupter of justice, you root of all evil and vice; seducer of men, betrayer of the nations, instigator of envy, font of avarice, fomentor of discord, author of pain and sorrow. Why, then, do you stand and resist, knowing as you must that Christ the Lord brings your plans to nothing? Fear Him, who in Isaac was offered in sacrifice, in Joseph sold into bondage, slain as the paschal lamb, crucified as man, yet triumphed over the powers of hell. (The three signs of the cross which follow are traced on the brow of the possessed person). Begone, then, in the name of the Father,  and of the Son,  and of the Holy  Spirit. Give place to the Holy Spirit by this sign of the holy  cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
 
Depart, then, transgressor. Depart, seducer, full of lies and cunning, foe of virtue, persecutor of the innocent. Give place, abominable creature, give way, you monster, give way to Christ, in whom you found none of your works. For He has already stripped you of your powers and laid waste your kingdom, bound you prisoner and plundered your weapons. He has cast you forth into the outer darkness, where everlasting ruin awaits you and your abettors. To what purpose do you insolently resist? To what purpose do you brazenly refuse? For you are guilty before almighty God, whose laws you have transgressed. You are guilty before His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, whom you presumed to tempt, whom you dared to nail to the cross. You are guilty before the whole human race, to whom you prof erred by your enticements the poisoned cup of death.

       Therefore, I adjure you, profligate dragon, in the name of the spotless  Lamb, who has trodden down the asp and the basilisk, and overcome the lion and the dragon, to depart from this man (woman)  (on the brow), to depart from the Church of God  (signing the bystanders). Tremble and flee, as we call on the name of the Lord, before whom the denizens of hell cower, to whom the heavenly Virtues and Powers and Dominations are subject, whom the Cherubim and Seraphim praise with unending cries as they sing: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. The Word made flesh  commands you; the Virgin's Son  commands you; Jesus  of Nazareth commands you, who once, when you despised His disciples, forced you to flee in shameful defeat from a man; and when He had cast you out you did not even dare, except by His leave, to enter into a herd of swine. And now as I adjure you in His  name, begone from this man (woman) who is His creature. It is futile to resist His  will. It is hard for you to kick against the  goad. The longer you delay, the heavier your punishment shall be; for it is not men you are condemning, but rather Him who rules the living and the dead, who is coming to judge both the living and the dead and the world by fire.

Depart, then,  impious one, depart,  accursed one, depart with all your deceits, for God has willed that man should be His temple. Why do you still linger here? Give honor to God the Father  almighty, before whom every knee must bow. Give place to the Lord Jesus  Christ, who shed His most precious blood for man. Give place to the Holy  Spirit, who by His blessed apostle Peter openly struck you down in the person of Simon Magus; who cursed your lies in Annas and Saphira; who smote you in King Herod because he had not given honor to God; who by His apostle Paul afflicted you with the night of blindness in the magician Elyma, and by the mouth of the same apostle bade you to go out of Pythonissa, the soothsayer. Begone,  now! Begone,  seducer! Your place is in solitude; your abode is in the nest of serpents; get down and crawl with them. This matter brooks no delay; for see, the Lord, the ruler comes quickly, kindling fire before Him, and it will run on ahead of Him and encompass His enemies in flames. You might delude man, but God you cannot mock. It is He who casts you out, from whose sight nothing is hidden. It is He who repels you, to whose might all things are subject. It is He who expels you, He who has prepared everlasting hellfire for you and your angels, from whose mouth shall come a sharp sword, who is coming to judge both the living and the dead and the world by fire.

 
Amen!

Out!  Out!  Out
    Oliver Newton John!  Get the fuck out of my head!

I've got Broadsword & The Beast.  Didn't wanna blow it all at once. 

From the Crest of a Knave LP. 

Steel Monkey

As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down,
I'm a highrise jockey, and I'm heaven-bound.
Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn.
I'm a monkey puzzle and the lid is on.   

Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?
I'm going to catch you anyway.
You might be right. I'll give you guesses three.
Feel me climbing up your knee.   

Guess what I am. I'm a steel monkey.
   
Now some men hustle and some just think.
And some go running before you blink.
Some look up and some look down
from three hundred feet above the ground.

Can you guess my name? And can you guess my trade?
Well, I won't rest before the world is made.
Arm in arm the angels fly.
Keep me from falling out the sky.

Steel monkey.

I work in the thunder and I work in the rain.
I work at my drinking, and I feel no pain.
I work on women, if they want me to.
You can have me climb all over you.

Now, have you guessed my name?
And have you guessed my trade?
I'm cheap at the money I get paid.
In the sulphur city, where men are men,
we bolt those beams then climb again.

Steel monkey.

So crass it's class.

One of my guilty pleasures - 80s pop rock. 'Romeo and Juliet' by Dire Straits was just on Radio 2 as I was driving back from Burbage and I loved it.

And don't even get me started on Phil - the blue tanktop, the black shirt / pink tie combo, the 'making of the video' video...is it back that I like this in a totally unironic, unpostmodern fashion?

We went to Knowsley today, and parked outside the Babboon enclosure. 
I was pissing myself watching the poor fools going around with 10 apes on their cars, ripping off windscrren wipers, door seals, wing mirrors etc.   :lol:

I can't listen to that without thinking of Fur Q  (2:20 on, but the whole thing is worth watching)

Romeo and Juilet is great! The only truly 'dire' Straits songs are 'twistin by the pool' and 'Walk of Life'. Those are unforgivable!

 :agree:

And I already posted Easy Lover on the "Greatest Pop Singles....... Ever" thread so I certainly see nothing guilty about liking that (despite the fact that Collins is a cock).

Oh and I don't own any Scooter thanks lagers.

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into....

and

Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"


I love these.  8)

After listening to the evidence put before me, I have to conclude that you, Mr Sharpe, and you, Mr Draws, have committed some of the most hideous pleasures it has ever been my misfortune to contemplate. I have no choice, but to find you GUILTY!

I did a list earlier*, I suspect most of what I listened to isn't considered cool though, unless you happen to be an ageing hippy.  I was reminded of my Phil love by the recent posts - musical love only of course.

*
I don't know if mine count cause I'm not really embarrased  :-\  I have plenty I should be ashamed of though, Belinda Carlisle, Enrique Iglesias, Garth Brooks, there are more I'm sure.

I also get shouted at for owning albums by Newton Faulkner, Keane and James Blunt, it's probably deserved though.  :spank:

I'm at work, every days quiet here, although the Return to the Source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_To_The_Source) CD I picked up for £2 at Record Collector at lunch time has improved the aural quality of my afternoon :dance1: (I guess liking a bit of trance could be considered a guilty pleasure).

You're not the only one Lagers - i've already confessed to loving a bit of that so I'll join you in the bassy doghouse :) ;)

I still think "Yorkshire Crunk" is a funnier description.... "what sort of music are you into?" "I'm a big follower of Yorkshire Crunk..." watch the mystified expression....

It depends what you're thinking about when you masturbate.

If you're fantasising about roadkill or balloons as you gurn through the vinegar strokes then I suspect that a feeling of guilt is appropriate :)
