All right, I know it is in your collection.
You wait till everybody is out, then you slip it on.
Not every time, just maybe once or twice a year.

Not your wife's dress, but the Guilty Pleasure of a weenie song or album.

OK, I arranged the cd's yesterday and came across some oldies.
No Michael Jackson or Prince(both great SQ artists) the best I can do for openers is

The Presidents of the USA. Lump. On the big dog. In fact, half the album is OK.
But the song opens with a terrifying crash at opening.

"Lump", "Peaches" and "Dune Buggy" are the best songs of that album.
I bought their 2nd album as well and especially liked "Bug City".
Don't know where they are right now, did I sold them? I am curious, would I still like those songs?

My guilty pleasures must be Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" (not the 'kitschy' remake in the 90's) and "Hergest Ridge".
Liked them when I was a kid and still find some beauty in them, though pretty bombastic (in a bad way) at times, that's why I secretly play them with headphones on.

They are playing cuts from it on my local classic rock station...not sure that pleasure is the right word....perhaps the other cuts are better.

That was diplomatic Art, LOL!
Hey, it's Bob Plant after all.

Listened to the worst radio station I could find on the drive to here in Wisconsin.

This station played, back to back, Roxy Roller(Sweeney Todd) and








Hot Child in the City, Nick Gilder.

Yes I knew the names without looking.

Ouch!

You guys have some awful stuff. I honestly can't think of anything that'll bring me shame.

Does liking Hootie & The Blowfish's cover of "Hey Hey What Can I Do" on the Led Zep tribute Encomium CD count?

Jeez Frank, I was thinking hard to come up with some guilty pleasure music I own and enjoy, but for the life of me I couldn't think of any. Now you mention TD, JMJ, MO, and (the beautiful) Beverly Craven. I own multiple discs from each but would never for an instant feel guilty about listening to any of them.

How does your fiance feel about becoming Mrs. C?
How does her family feel about it?

Then again, having as messed up a name as I and so many of us do, it reminds of a quote from an old friend of mine - "Everyone's gotta be called something."

Stu, she is not changing her name.

I am still going through an inner battle if I want to have my name changed to my mother's maiden name... but living with "C" for 23 years kinda gets you used to it.

If you think you've got it bad, I used to work with a guy named Mike Hunt. Seriously.

People everywhere joke around about that name. This guy lived it.

Gavin, it's your family name, wear it well, wear it proud.


A few names of people I know of at work -
Dick Kurtz (ouch)
Dick Chase (hmmm)
Dick Dodge (double hmmm)

On a side note I always thought Dr. Tucker Backen would make a great name for one of those LA Plastic Surgeons.

...and as we drift yet further away from the OP I am recalling a girl I went to high school with named Ann Till.

Marc, the three Dix up above are are very real names, I assure you, as is Ann Till. Their parents must have been either very naive or very sinister.

How did I bring this thread to this?
Some other people I've felt sorry for, all real names -

Michael Jackson
Dick Small
Megan Slutski
Warren T. Estes

Hiram Dickshit -
My mother is a QC analyst for Blue Cross, i.e. the person listening in on the phone calls. When this guy called, she was very thankfull that they couldn't hear her. The customer service rep immediately put him on hold for the same reason. The only thing I can guess is that the person who translated his name from Hindu was having a bad day.

One of the coolest names -
Bruce Lee. His father (not Asian), is a huge Bruce Lee fan, and being his last name is Lee, told Bruce 'if you were a girl, you would still have been named Bruce.'

Nuck,

Out of interest, I'm reading Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton - is this why you called the thread by this name, or am I just thinking this is spooky coincidence???

alright, I'll bite

Fergie,
Only one song though, "big girls dont cry"
Her voice really shines in this song. The rest of the CD pretty much bites.

And, the decendents, "I dont wanna grow up". The whole thing.

lol nothing wrong with the Cranberries, just something I was listening to. The Apollo is awesome.
I did a demo at my house with it and a Arcam, and found that the Apollo made me want to get up and dance to the music. The Arcam was too "familiar" to me, kinda sounded like just a slightly better version of my NAD at the 1000 dollar price point. The Rega separates the instruments and has a much tighter midrange and high end than the NAD. Once I got this thing in my house, I just fell in love. Much better than when I heard it in the store. I got a whole price list for Rega from my dealer, and he gives me very very good deals. Thinking about a pre amp from Rega may be my next purchase. And another pair of speakers just for two channel stuff. Cheers

P.S. The new Halloween soundtrack is a guilty pleasure, but you will have to listen to some to see what I mean.lol.
