thread starter Recently I found a bit torrent of "Top Ten" by the Flying Lizards.
I bought a 2 CD set of "The Essential Emerson Lake and Palmer" (as if ANY ELP was essential) I listened to Disco - KC and the Sunshine band I found a cassette tape of a Country and Western band doing "Ballroom Blitz". Anyone else want to confess anything?

runaway horses goes on every mixtape I make and kate bush is on permanent rotation in the work CD player.
bla, you have great taste these days i find i like 80's pop a hell of a lot more than i did in the 80's
nostalgia/getting old or something Holy shit flies that 90's dance mix is amazing.
I have listened to it probably ten times (literally) by now. As per bla's experience of the 80's (which I wasn't really around for), I'm having the exact same experience with the 90's. I suppose I only hated it then because it was mainstream, but now it's not, so it's okay to like it. And this stuff is actually pretty darn good. kidgamma said: "Holy shit flies that 90's dance mix is amazing."  other mixes on that site are worth checking out, e.g. belgian rave mix link disco-funk link (including coca-cola bottle, better known from harder, better, faster, strong - I love that DP track, but after hearing the original, i find it incredible that a musician can get away with failing to prominently name the original artist for such a straight rip). yeah i went through and at least read the description for all 52 mixes. downloaded a bunch but it's soooo much to listen to. I think the farewell to dubstep mix is really interesting. I burned myself out on dubstep real fast a few years ago but it's the first genre I feel I've really been around to witness it's entirety. It's funny to think of tracks I've heard in my life to be considered "classics". crazy how fast things move these days, really a neat statement on the times.
I bought this album in a charity shop.
Uri Geller recites surrealist meta-physical poetry over smooth 70s ambient spacescapes. link its strangely engrossing. like Carl Sagan on glue. lulz, uri geller is bizarro carl sagan......
thank you so much for posting that chrissy murderbot link man....that guy is rad as fuck.
I'm quite fond of the background on his personal website...
lol i could imagine chrissy murderbot and j_chot being the same person
wow that uri geller stuff is amazing, off to discogs for that one
I'm with djugel ... I feel like guilty pleasures are no longer a relevant concept. What's the point in feeling guilty about something. I guess I do draw the line somewhere, but right now I've unabashedly been all over Maxwell, Sade, Jill Scott, Beyoncé's "4", the Blue Nile, Shanice "I Love Your Smile", Chuckii Booker's two albums. I dunno. I actually just wrote an article for Musicworks Magazine (it's not out yet) about three Canadian artists -- THOMAS, D'Eon and John Farah and how postmodern irony is sort of dead. Now people are bringing elements into their music formerly regarded as guilty pleasures and it's no longer some silly concept but it's wholly and sincerely integrated into their aesthetic!
I bought a 2CD set of Zing Tuum Tumb 12" remixes
link Art of Noise, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Alice Pigalle (how good is she!) 808 State and so on. I'll say two things: 1. Close (to the edit) is still a cracking tune. We need more Fairlight sampled vocal samples. 2. Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Crap band, but the bass lines for Relax are so good they could give your ears an erection. The Blue Nile? You mean the 80's band that did "Downtown Lights" ?
Lol i recorded with a band once, and the engineer commented we sounded like blue nile, who i had never heard. i was lees than thrilled later when i tracked down one of their tapes.
+1 to piege. although i do fe4el guilty when i enjoy something stupid on the muzak in a store. is it just me or did anyone feel like a lot of IDM was taking cues from late 80s new jack swing? lol. seriously. Page 1 | 2
