I've been tagged by Dan Drezner with the “what five songs in my iTunes are my guiltiest pleasures” meme. I guess Dan and I are the two remaining people in America without an iPod, so I have to tweak this post. I thought about giving the 5 reasons that I've never gotten an iPod, but instead I'll list the 5 guilty pleasures on the living room Bose.
For the longest time, I haven't been able to listen to music at home. For years, one kid demanded Raffi and audio books of Thomas stories. Then the other kid became too sensitive to music and would scream whenever I put on the stereo. Over the past few months, the mute kid has being shedding his music phobia, so I'm slowly rediscovering my music collection. I've been going back to the 80s stuff to see what works and what doesn't. Here's what's on our stereo:
1. Under the Blood Red Sky. U2.
2. Armed Forces, Elvis Costello
3. Monster, REM
4. Tom Tom Club, Tom Tom Club
5. Odelay, Beck (one from the 90s)
I tag Harry Brighouse, Tim Burke, and Jo(e).
