Guilty Pleasure
Guilty Pleasure: Metallica
A guilty pleasure means a lot of things. For some, it’s an obsession.
Guilty Pleasure: The Incredible String Band – Wee Tam and the Big Huge
The real joy of Wee Tam and the Big Huge is that it takes you to places few albums have or will. It is nature’s roller coaster ride.
Guilty Pleasure: Sublime – Sublime
There are three basic elements that make Sublime worthy of keeping it in your iPod, even after you think you couldn’t bear to hear these songs more than you already have.
Guilty Pleasure: Britney Spears
Pleasure should never be guilty, but oh baby, baby; forgive me ahead of time. This one’s embarrassing. I’m seriously risking some friendships and probably imposing deep and abiding questions about my sexuality with this admission.
She’s been with me since 1999, bouncing onto the scene with her repressed sexuality and teasing strut. That’s right, folks, I’m [...]
Guilty Pleasure: Justin Timberlake – FutureSex/LoveSounds
While most wouldn’t feel the slightest guilt over listening to JT, Ms. Dean thinks otherwise…
Guilty Pleasure: My Chemical Romance – I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
The year was 2004, the political climate was confusing at best, and I was just then learning how thoroughly a man could break my heart.

My under-aged self was stunned; somewhere there was another person as angry as I was!
Guilty Pleasure: Jamiroquai – A Funk Odyssey
Yes, it’s an unabashed party album, with no aim of informing, let alone empowering the listener; yes, it’s a far, far cry from the days when they railed against the world’s injustices. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t, you know, good.
Guilty Pleasure: Aqua – Aquarium
Imagine it’s 1997. Bill Clinton is serving his second term in office and Harry Potter receives his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. More importantly, dance-pop group Aqua releases its debut album. 1997 is the dawning of the age of … Aquarium.
Scandinavians Lene Rasted, René Dif, Søren Rasted, and Claus Norreen delivered [...]
Guilty Pleasure: Sam Sparro – Sam Sparro
“Where have all the good men gone,” Bonnie Tyler once asked. While she was clearly crying out for a different type of loving, I’m wondering why the blokes of this world are flying the vocalist flag so poorly. Over the last few years, the girls have brought forth Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Adele, Estelle … and [...]
