The Masketeers have been downloading tracks off the internet and playing them on the computer and on the CD player in their room. I recognise a lot of what they listen to, sometimes I don't. I ask them what they're playing and sometimes have to arch a surprised eyebrow and nod my approval. Sometimes... like... recently...
I ask them what they're listening to, because I quite like it...
I don't recognise it. It sounds... strange. Yet appealing.
And they tell me.

Take That?! They'd be out on the fucking streets if they played that in my house!

NO!

And that's better than Take That is it?
you're a fucking awful parent
Posted by Black Mask (Member # 185) on :
You need to listen to it...
Posted by Black Mask (Member # 185) on :
I'm going to listen to it again now.
Posted by Black Mask (Member # 185) on :
It's good.
I feel better now I've told someone.
While I'm listening to it again, perhaps you'd like to share your own guilty pleasures?
Posted by Zygote (Member # 883) on :
Fuck, he sure is lil'.
Posted by Black Mask (Member # 185) on :
I think that might be a different Chris. He looks like he's on more of a Hip-Hop tip.
Posted by Zygote (Member # 883) on :
I believe it is - I've just seen 'Checkin' It Out' on Youtube, just for confirmation. I got as far as the bit where he spray-paints a mirror and starts his 'lyrical skillz', before turning it off.
Guilty pleasures. Hmm. I sometimes watch Coronation Street and Eastenders.
Edited to add: and I used to like watching Elvis Presley films when I was a teenager.

Practically everything I listen to is a guilty pleasure when it comes to the general taste in our house. I was listening to Asha Bhosle the other day - 60s and 70s Bollywood - and after a few tracks was told, "That's enough now" as if I was an irritating child playing on a squeaky recorder.
Some of that stuff's mental though. Kind of a reverse Beatles - where The Beatles put sitar onto their western pop songs and they still sounded like western pop songs, The Bollywoods put groovy psychedelic pop guitar and bongos onto their wailing Indian songs and it sounds... well, "That's enough now" probably sums it up really. Bloody great though.

Y-you've not been listening to Coldplay have you?
Posted by Nathan Bleak (Member # 1040) on :
I'm sure I've mentioned this on here before, but I'm ocassionally partial to a dose of Enya. I always think of the description Stan gives of Enya on South Park - "It's... it's cheesy and lame yet eerily soothing..." I completely agree with that.

My wife hates and I like Tori Amos.....
Posted by dang65 (Member # 102) on :
Well, if it's not Take That and it's not Coldplay then I don't think you've got anything to worry about have you?
Posted by Black Mask (Member # 185) on :
What I get told to turn off most often are the mighty, mighty Shitmat, Eilert Pilarm, Unknown Hinson, Daniel Johnson, Captain Beefheart, Wesley Willis, The Shaggs, DJ Scotch Egg...

You told me it was wanking in the stationery cupboard.

I'd certainly wank her in the stationary cupboard. She's fit.

Back off Benny!
I've had a crush on Fi Glover since she presented the GLR breakfast show with Gideon Coe (about 1995 I think).
And then I saw her on telly in a pair of leather keks and it was all official.
