Of the non-guilty variety...
Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner: I read this book last weekend after picking it up in the airport. I didn't really pay attention to what the back said - only to having enjoyed her previous books (though reading Good in Bed in public was a bit embarassing), and to the panic of not having anything to read on the flight. I really enjoyed it, and felt it was true to new motherhood.
Johnny Clegg & Savuka's Scatterlings of Africa album: I first fell in love with the title track almost twenty years ago when I saw Rain Man. The two things that stick out most in my mind from that movie are stepping on Aaron Neville's foot (especially poignant since he had a song in the movie) while trying to get back to my seat at Uptown Square movie theater, and the soundtrack. The latter then became a great soundtrack to my teenage angst - I'd turn it up loud and lie in the dark on my bed. I'm falling in love with this music all over again.
Then there are the guilty pleasures...
Justin Timberlake's My Love: I finally get the adoration. It took only about five years, and his singing in maybe his highest range yet, but I get it.
Shaggy's It Wasn't Me: I've felt guilty for the past few years liking this song, but that doesn't stop me from getting pumped when it comes on the radio. In addition to getting embarrassed by its NC-17 nature. It sounds like such a sweet song, until you actually listen to it. And it seems to be getting more playtime lately, so I'm having to face the idea that maybe I should not be listening to it, especially with MrMan in the car.

speaking of tasty jams is camille grill open?
I love Johnny Clegg! I lost my "concert virginity" to Savuka when I was 17. It's great music, and as an expat South African (now in Germany), it brings tears to my eyes because it is SO redolent of home. My guilty musical pleasure at the moment is Lily Allen, which I can't play in front of my kids because she is very rude. I play it when I'm alone in my car, at full blast, and sing along.
Posted by: Charlotte at December 6, 2006 03:47 AMI wouldn't worry about playing naughty songs in front of Mr.Man. Although it is disturbing to hear kids sing inappropriate songs, they don't get it. For example, my niece loooooves this drowning in the ocean song, very bleak. she thinks its about swimming in the beautiful sea. But to quote my sister, "Pucci could have potential to be goth-girl; she is all about the death."

Posted by: mipmup at December 8, 2006 09:22 PMYeah.. the song is terrible and funny at the same time.. I did the Shaggy voice saying "It wasn't me" in the car the other day and Lacey said "I hate that song!"..
hehe
