but oh so fucking good. i love that album
Guilty pleasures
Vital distinction ā thanks!
Also a big muchas gracias for Big Head Todd ā that one had completely gone under my radar (but not anymore).
And about Dire Straits ā truly essential stuff in this thread. I play the Money for Nothing collection from time to time (for some reason I do not like āTelegraph Roadā that much anymore, though). First I was gonna post āBrothers in Armsā but decided to go for this smoker (awesome video too) ā not hard to tell why Dylan wanted Knopfler for Infidels:
Yeah, commercials can taint a lot of great music.
And when we are on the topic of trucks, I have to admit that I have a soft spot for trucker songs.
Just hit me that the Candlebox song I posted has pretty much the same theme as the Dexter Freebish song ⦠oh the bitterness of self-absorbed young men.
I had never actually heard this but was aware it was known as a truly awful song. I gave it a listen today and itās way better than I thought.
I think sheās kind of aware it is cheesy and corny, too. I donāt think sheās under any impression sheās the next Joni Mitchell.
I think itās glorious in a silly, ridiculous way.
The rest of that album is a bit shit though, isnāt it?
I just realized that all the songs in here would make a solid playlist.
Moon Over Bourbon Street? Consider Me Gone? Shadows in the Rain? I think theyāre solid. Childrenās Crusade and Russians are cringeworthy though.
