Tango is a fine album - although every time I've put it on when guests are round they have looked at me funny.

I enjoyed listening to a bit of Scooter today - the company I was in probably had a lot to do with it. Not going to go out and buy any of his stuff just yet.

I'll borrow Jasper's

I just absolutely love 'Push the Button' by the Sugababes. It's fucking brilliant, and I love it. And the blonde one Heidi, love her too (but that's not a guilty pleasure in my book.

Scooter are great. 

Fraudini saw them live for laughs not long back.

Hyper hyper!

I went to see Rachael Stevens live at the Octagon. Pure cheese. She had to do 2 songs twice as she didn't have enough material for her encore - lClass Act!

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?





Probably.

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!

Kate Bush isn't a guilty pleasure, the woman's a genius.

 :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:
