Guilty Pleasure Admission #38: I’ve got a thing for mod-influenced British post-punk with a hint of glam, a la These Animal Men, a British band who were so good (“Too Sussed” was just awesome) until they went full-on glam. California’s The Adored carry on this fine tradition, even enlisting Pete Shelley (yes, that one!) of the Buzzcocks for guest vocals on “TV Riot.” The Adored do owe a great debt of gratitude to the Buzzcocks and the other late ’70s British bands who blazed this trail before. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Guilty Pleasure Admission #39: the Bodyrockers. Any more quilty pleasures anyone cares to share?
Sharing the sharing.
Super cheesy Japanese techno a la Dance Dance Revolution.
😀
not sure about the music, but i love that cover art.
Guilty admissions: The Bravery, Franz Ferdinand.
Guilty Admission #39:
I watch and enjoy American Idol.
Guilty pleasure? Forget the guilt and revel in the pleasures. You should see these fellows live. Exceptional.
Must mention that their new material, such as that played at their Nov. 2005 gig with Art Brut, is great. More developed than the material on their debut but still thoroughly enjoyable. Keep an ear out for it.
