Guilty pleasure of the day: Jet, “She's A Genius”

Jet are the kind of big dumb shaggy-haired rock band where you're embarrassed to say you like them, but when you listen to their songs you can't figure out why exactly, because you're too busy rocking out hard. Even when they get all misguidedly artistically ambitious and channel the Beatles via the Vines, they're solid. They're repetitive, derivative, and boring, but at least they're trying.

Still not gonna even look at this album in the record store though.

Guilty pleasure of the day: Black Eyed Peas, “I Gotta Feeling”

However you feel about “Boom Boom Pow” or the Black Eyed Peas in general, the positive energy of this song is undeniable. So what if the lyrics are only, like, 10 words? I feel like this song is perfect for a prom/high school graduation slideshow. (Or, you know, a Gap commercial.)

Guilty pleasure of the day: Sean Kingston, “Fire Burning”

Confession: I’ve heard this on the radio before and liked it, but just now I accidentally started listening to it while creeping Victor Norlander and I can't seem to press the stop button. Seriously, I’ve listened to this at least 4 times now in a loop. This might even transcend guilty pleasure and just be best song of the day, if not summer. It’s 1:51 AM. I think I’m hypnotized. SOMEBODY CALL 9-1-1

Guilty pleasure of the day: Dragonette, “I Get Around”

I tried really hard to avoid this song when it first came out. Then I started listening to it (by force, as with any song on the radio) and now the chorus is stuck in my head. Not to mention that goddamn opening keyboard riff, which they used to play in an ad on 102.1 the Edge all the time and I had no idea what it was. Wasn’t Martina Sorbara a country singer, though?

Guilty pleasure of the day: Pink, “Please Don’t Leave Me”

Now this is a real guilty pleasure, because I dislike Pink (P!nk? Is she still doing that?) to a degree that I would never visit upon my girl T.Swift. But I love this song. I love the background vocal riff and the sound of the guitar. I even like Pink’s voice. But as soon as I hear “Sober” again, the fuzzy feelings will be gone, you hear?

Argh now the word “pink” looks weird

Guilty pleasure of the day: Rick Astley, “Together Forever”

I had totally forgotten that Rick Astley had a second single. It’s basically the same as the one everyone knows, but different enough that it will get stuck in your head just as deeply and you will still never mistake the two. BRB, dancing

Guilty pleasure of the day: Taylor Swift, “Love Story”

I don’t have much to say about this song except that it is perfectly constructed.

Also, if you don’t like it, you have no soul.
