Okay, I know we all go through phases, but what's your most extreme, obscure musical vice?
For example, I have an ex who's metal as all get out. Dyed hair, eyeliner, closet full of black boots. Her car CD case is all Pantera and NIN and KMFDM. Her best friend dated the guitarist from Drowning Pool ("let the bodies hit the floor") for several months. *deep breath... look around* She'll kill me for saying this, but she's loved Hanson and The Goo Goo Dolls since high school.
And I, I never thought my geeky Reel Big ass would end up falling in love with some... uh, like... no, I can do this... I can... the 1st step is admitting you have a... a... **** it already! DJ Assault ("Ass n' Titties") and Motorhead!
*sits down, bites nails*

I think I'll still keep you in my rolodex. Maybe. Motorhead?!!?! But DJ Assault is always a good time - I used to have a CD with like 12 different remixes of that one song.
I have to admit, my favorite band in high school (and yes, even the beginning of college god help me) was Counting Crows. Their lyrics! I thought they could do no wrong! Adam Duritz was a modern poet!
And then Hard Candy came out, and I wept bitter tears, and knew the world would never be the same again.
Also, I have to admit, I really, really like Lily Allen. She's sounds so poppy and trampy all the time, but with such bitter lyrics. And she's such an oversexed tart. She talks about people checking her shoes for drugs! She rap/sings about how her grandmother is depressing and wishes for death! She talks about how the United States is boring!
Can you ever forgive me?

I still get e-mails from the Pawtucket Red Sox, and apparently, their hosting a concert at McCoy Stadium this summer with (drum roll, please) Counting Crows, Live and Collective Soul.
Now... 15-year-old Nick would've lost his wad over that bill. That's three solid bands that I liked back then! None of this Matchbox 20 stuff, I'll tell you that.
But 25-year-old Nick just kind of thinks it's sad. Counting Crows were the most respectable of that bunch and definitely had the most to say, though. My friend Jon from high school used to say that August and Everything After was the best-written album of the 90s, and he might still be right.
As far as actual guilty pleasures? Um... Van Halen? In spite of myself, I still have a soft spot for early Van Halen with Diamond Dave. Look at them now and... ugh. Sad. But 1984? Sign me up!
