Everybody has them. That CD or cassette that you try to hide when company comes over - your guilty pleasure. Music and entertainment that is just for you (and maybe a close friend) and that nobody else would ever think was yours. Southern Rock, John Mayer, A Flock of Seagulls...who likes them? Apparently a lot of people, including some of your favorites from PLAYBACK:stl. Guilty Pleasures is our confessional of the really unhip stuff we like. It can be yours too.

I know the words to so much classic
rock, and I suppose my laidback, rural nature has resulted in an aesthetic
preference for Southern instrumentation and voices. I love that dusty twang,
those whiskey-soaked leads, the drone of a pedal steel, and the happy cries of
a fiddler.

And the way they talk to each other...it is the kind of
comedy we want from Posh and Becks
but will never get.

I know we all may have some preconceived notions
about A Flock of Seagulls, and I wouldn't ever mean to diminish anyone who has
used their creative talents to achieve any level of sustainable pop success.

To me, this
never gets old. I can just walk around my house singing "And she's buying a
stairway to Breeeeetttt." It makes no sense, is a stupid idea, but once you
start, I guarantee you won't be able to stop.
