guilty pleasures

I don’t even think this is a guilty pleasure but Kylie Minogue? I don’t listen to her albums but I think her voice is stellar as well as her remixes (which I enjoy listening to). I really think she has a good ear for good music through the talent she chooses to remix her stuff. She has an outstanding voice - no-one can argue this.

The strength of her voice became more evident to me when I heard someone else singing on a demo version of Nick Cave’s “Where The Wild Roses Grow” (which thankfully she sang for the final released version). The other voice on the demo just killed the song for me but in the released version, her voice really made that song.

If a voice is good, it’s good. End of story. Furtado (as another post noted) also has a great voice.

k.d.lang. never thought i would like that woman’s contribution to music history, but i heard something yesterday while driving around, and it was so hillbilly and rich. and i’m too distracted to remember the song, but she was great. reminded me of the sixties"wup my man with a fry pan "loretta lynn and tammy wynette and patsy cline.lang’s a great singer and tony bennett picked up on that, and good for him.
oh geez. now i need to go get some lesbo music. ah, so what. great voice.

Oh, I don’t knock Blixa but his voice wasn’t suited for the song. He was great in the Weeping Song and backing vocals to majority of Cave’s songs but with this song in particular, the award goes to Kylie. And obviously, Cave supported it - he used her for the final cut. She did a superb job and let’s face it - it wouldn’t have been a top 10 hit without her on it :wink:

Besides, two guys singing that song to each other - haha

one of my top ten live shows is still birthday party at some shitty bar in manhattan on their first tour with like 15 people in the audience. had to leave the club right when it was over to frantically call every human being i knew.
(no cell phones yet–yup, i’m ancient)

I like Christina Aguilera. I bought one of her albums the other day. A day before that I bought a bunch of albums including Neurosis. How bizarre is that?

24

Christina’s not too bad. I admire her for escaping the bubblegum/pantysniffer pop of the late Nineties and doing her own thang, and she did it without shaving her head.

Yeah, I always liked her over Britney. In fact, I never ever got the appeal of Britney. People considered her hot? Really?

I really like the song.

Uhm well a weird combo once was I went and got snapcase and deee-lite at the same time and the clerk looked at me really weird and made a comment over it…

my only guilty pleasure is the safety dance

27

Hah, I got the same reaction when I picked up a Brujeria record along with Eazy-E’s “Eazy Duz it.”

YOU CAN DANCE IF YOU WANT TO
YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR FRIENDS BEHIND
'CAUSE IF FRIENDS DON’T DANCE AND IF THEY DON’T DANCE
WELL THEY’RE NO FRIENDS OF MINE

A waaaaaay better version:

You can watch Mr. Rogers
You can watch Three’s Company
And you can turn on Fame or The Nelywed Game
Or The Addams Family

I say, you can watch Barney Miller
And you can watch your MTV
And you can watch 'till your eyes fall out of your head
That’ll be OK with me

And you can watch (TV)

You can watch Johnny Carson
You can watch Phil Donahue
And you can use TV Guide to help you decide
With capsulized review

Say, you can watch 60 Minutes
Even Captain Kangaroo
But there’s only one set, so what ever you watch
Well, you know I gotta watch it too

Say, give it up, give it up, television’s taking its toll
That’s enought, that’s enough, gimme the remote controll
I been nice, I been good, please don’t do this to me
Turn it off, turn it off, I don’t want to have to see

The Brady Bunch
Not The Brady Bunch
Well, The Brady Bunch
Yeah, The Brady Bunch

It’s the story of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold, like their mother
The youngest one in curls

It’s a story of a man named Brady
Who was busy with three boys of his own
They were four men living all together
Yeah, but they were all alone

Until the one day, one day when the lady met the fellow
And they knew, and they knew it was much more than a hunch
Then they knew this group must somehow form a family
That’s the way, that’s the way, that’s the way they all became

The Brady Bunch
Well, The Brady Bunch
Yeah, The Brady Bunch
Well, The Brady Bunch
Oh, it’s The Brady Bunch
It’s The Brady Bunch
Oh, The Brady Bunch, yeah
