Katseye just dropped their new song Pinky Up. I know it’s a bit brainrot and way too short, but I’ve had it on repeat. There’s something so cunty, girly-girl about the vibe, I’m a total sucker for songs like that.
Grimes - Delicate Weapon. It appears in a videogame during a moment that’s a complicated stew of themes and emotions including precarity, desperation, but also deep burgeoning artificiality and fakeness. The act of stopping to enjoy the song is entirely optional, you do surrounded by completely insufferable and irredeemable people, by it’s still kind of a moment.
It makes me think about how deep down in some kind of (possibly shitty) way we really are the things that we pretend to be. But I also kind of like that.
This is exponentially more thought than anyone has ever put into a Grimes song
Probably. It definitely wouldn’t have had all that going on if not for the video game. I looked up the music video and it’s just Grimes (I presume) trying on different outfits and smoldering at the camera
Cardi B - WAP.
Omg when they had the the lawyers at Afro mans trial ask about this song when questioning the ex. Wife of one of the cops – I don’t even know. Its a gloriously hilarious moment. The lawyers are so uncomfortable saying wet ass pussy in court. And they completely miss the message, which the lady thinks about mentioning when answering before she realizes what they’re trying to get at and just goes with it. (IIRC she was the only defense for AM besides himself). A second lawyer later can’t say it. Hilarious.
That country song where she takes a bat to her bf’s car because he cheated on her. True, its not emotionally mature, but its fun to sing.
that could be any country song a woman has sung tbh

Carrie Underwood.
nice
Anakin vs Obi-Wan but it’s a musical or conversely, Council of Elrond but it’s a musical by Elf Tale Films, it’s the only two examples I’ve ever seen of AI being a “good” for society… just don’t watch their other music videos unless you want to feel like you’re having a brain aneurysm.
Maybe not exactly a guilty pleasure, as the band actually OK overall… But
“Instamatic” by Vertical Horizon
Neil Peart was the guest drummer and it’s very apparent he makes a massive impact on Vertical Horizon. The entire band becomes way more precise and the song just hits differently and harder than any of their other work.
We Built this City - by Starship
It is the greatest song ever produced. It even has a fake backstory, and is somehow about every city. Chef’s kiss on that one.
The Flys - Got You Where I Want You, Rob Zombie -Dragula, Real McCoy - Runaway
Leftover Crack’s first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.
LC never quite scratched that itch for me but Choking Victim is absolutely a guilty pleasure I haven’t abandoned despite Scott’s bs.
I have never understood the point of guilty pleasures. Why are you letting other people decide what you like?
It’s not about that. If I can tell something is objectively bad but still enjoy it, I consider it a guilty pleasure, lol.
If something is objectively bad and you enjoy it, isn’t that just bad taste?
It’s only bad taste if it dominates your preferences. Otherwise, it’s just guilty pleasures.
Those that people around me do not approve:
- Die Antwoord - Doosdronk
- Afroman - Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
- A capella science - rolling in the Higgs
- Tom Cardy - Je suis fatigué
- Dale Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun
- Keddi Kosár - Mi Vagyunk Magyar Peter (Mulatós version)
Tunak tunak tun will always be a banger
I don’t believe in guilty pleasures because I don’t feel guilty about listening to weird niche music that everyone around me thinks is beneath them.
That being said, I understand the concept and can apply it to my music library. So here’s a big one.
22/7 - Hyacinth Apple Music | YouTube
I’m linking the Apple Music version not just because I think they deserve to get paid more for your stream, but in case you’re a subscriber, you have Dolby Atmos turned on, and you have compatible earbuds, because the song is fucking magical in spatial audio. It’s like feeding candy to your ears. The best spatial audio mastering I’ve heard is Tom Sawyer by RUSH. This is second best. The song feels like a tech demo for spatial audio.
For context, 22/7 (which is another way to say Pi, mathematically, and read as “twenty-two per seven”) is a cartoon band, similar to HUNTR/X from Kpop Demon Hunters, except, after the anime series about them… they just continued making music. Hyacinth isn’t from their anime. They even make music for other anime now. So they’re a real band. Anywhere between 8 and 12 Japanese girls singing in unison in groups. For JPop/idol music, it’s pretty good. You don’t need to know their anime to listen to them. It was a fantasy series about a mysterious wall that would spit out engraved metal chips with instructions. No one knew who was writing the commands, but people started following it, and it told them to build an idol group and when and where to have them play. They become an overnight sensation. Eventually the wall tells them they have to disband, and after being forced to do so, they seek out who’s behind the wall. It’s… not very good, as far as anime goes, but the music is on point and I think it’s worth watching, if you like music anime.
Pi cannot be expressed as a ratio.
Some songs from Burzum like Jesus’ Tod go really hard but he is an open racist and neo-nazi :(
It’s like when people tell me that Skrewdriver’s first album is really good. Like, maybe? But I still can’t bring myself to listen to it. Hell, I can’t even listen to Pantera these days.
Hahaha. Fuck. I went to a record swap once where some dude we’d always thought was a fencewalker showed up with that album and tried to convince us “it’s actually really good”. The greatest hit Ian had was a tree.
