I have many ideas on posts floating around in my tiny little pea head, but no time nor inclination to write them at the moment. Work is out of control busy, P is sprouting what better be all her fucking molars simultaneously, I've had a cold for weeks, and a 24 hour day is about 24 hours too short. I don't have a sense of self at the moment, and each day is a blur of fuzzy headedness.
With that said, I'm going to take up Oro's challenge, even if it is lazy blogging. Oro sayeth:
"Out yourself! What musician/genre/song do you love, but would never ever ever enjoy outside the privacy of your home/car/mp3 player for fear of being ridiculed by friends and loved ones? Furthermore, I dare you to go to YouTube and either embed said songs onto your blog or provide links - c'mon, you know you want to share...if you're totally chicken, I suppose a link to Amazon or WikiPedia would be acceptible. I'd love to be able to go to sites where I could hear the music."
As you hopefully know by now, I looooove music. I need to listen to lots of music every day, and I trawl music blogs looking for new stuff all the time. I have very eclectic tastes, and with that variety comes a love of music which some might mock. They can bite me. So, here is just a smattering of some of my music loves that I'm usually not *too* ashamed to confess to adoring.
Styx: Come Sail Away. My fondness for this song started when it was used in a great scene in one of my favourite TV shows ever, Freaks and Geeks. I have mentioned before on this very blog that P and I have Come Sail Away danceathons when we party and get down like a couple of madwomen.
Destiny's Child: Bootylicious. I like Beyonce and Destiny's Child. There, I said it. Though I don't own any albums of either the group or Beyonce solo, I have many an mp3. Sorry Helen, I know you shed a tear or two of frustration every time I declare my Beyonce love.
Girls Aloud: Call the Shots. When it comes to British girl bands, I'm usually a Sugababes kind of girl, as is The Dude who ADORES the Sugababes. His mp3 player is packed with the most pop-oriented, camp music you can imagine. He has at least 2 Erasure songs on there, I'm just saying...
Limp Bizkit: Break Stuff. I'll even go out on a limb and confess that when YouTubing this, I thought to myself that I liked a few of the results in the Limp Bizkit search. Hmph. Thanks to Major Bedhead for for giving me the strength to admit that I too enjoy a little Fred Durst. Anyway, I like some shouty music that isn't too metal-like. When I'm being a serious music lover, I'd say System of a Down filled this requirement, not Limp Bizkit.
The final video is one which I genuinely embarrassed about. Don't tell anyone, please, as my street cred will be completely compromised.
Here it is...
Brace yourselves...
Paris Hilton: Nothing in This World. There's nothing I can say to make this right.
Also, as an aside, I may :::cough::: be able to :::cough::: convert YouTube videos to mp3. Cough. Just in case there are any of you to whom I owe a favour.
Your turn - either on your own blog or in the comments section. I suspect it doesn't get much worse than Paris Hilton, but have a go anyway.

Paris Hilton??! Good lord. I shouldn't really say anything because the stuff I'd pick for a meme like this would probably make you vomit.
Break Stuff is a fantastic song.
Paris Hilton? Girls Aloud? THE SUGABABES?
Who are you?
*quickly hides music on her iPod, including Abba's "Lay All Your Love on Me" and Duran Duran's new one *
Cause sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much, and I have to close my eyes and hide.... I wanna hold you till i die, till we both break down and cry, I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.....
Thanks! Suddenly my preference to drive our car to the tunes of Kylie's album Fever doesn't seem so bad anymore. :-)
OK, OK, you may have just convinced me to post again . . .
But Paris Hilton? I don't know if we can be friends after this.
Oh, *Pru* (she said, in deep tones of disappointment.) Paris Hilton? Seriously? I don't know if we can be friends anymore. That is the depth of my hatred toward Paris Hilton. Anything but her.
2 Erasure songs? Really??...Hrmmm..
I kind of LOVE Beyonce. And ABBA. And Dolly Parton. Though, I think those choices make me quirky.
Paris Hilton? I am not computing.
Yay baby! Embrace your inner cheesemonger!
I have an Enrique Iglesias track or two on my ipod. So catchy and pointless.
But worse! Even worse! I really like one of Victoria Beckham's solo tracks- what's the title- "something something heart has a mind of its ooooown"- and she is floating around looking not too stick insecty in the video and it's all good.
Styx and Paris... yep. I can see it. That last video was awesome. Her production people are so tight it hurts.
This was fun. We don't even need to go into my Cher addiction.
I didn't think it could get much worse than Styx, but oh I was wrong...I am shocked, shocked! I knew the Johnny Cash thing was just a front.
Never mind that I bought the Christina Aguillera album with 'Beautful' on it. Or the fact that the man I chose to marry went to a {{{{Foghat}}}} concert. (He is much, much older than I...)
I... cannot be shamed.
ABBA? Yep.
Weird Al Yankovic? Sure.
Rick Astley? YOU BETCHA.
I have some Styx on the ol' iPod. I'm cool with your Paris thing, too - just don't listen to it too terribly often or you'll catch some kind of STD from it, I think.
Paris Hilton sings? Where the hell have I been?
Okay, I love Josh Groban. Please do not breathe a word of this to anyone, or my street cred will be ruined.
If I was 12yrs old, I would fuck her too.
