Guilty Pleasure?

I just got a song in my inbox heralding the release "Still Alive (Teddybears Remix)" by Lisa Miskosky featured the remix soundtrack to the video game Mirror's Edge.  Surely you've seen the commercial for it on the telie?  The one with the animated girl jumping from rooftop to rooftop?  Well, I wasn't to sure about listening to this song--and I'm now on my fourth straight listen.  It seems like the digital soundtrack is comprised of remixes by some of the best dance producers in that scene.  I'm particularly interested in hearing the Paul van Dyk workout of that song.  I've been a fan of his production for a while now.

Man, this song is good!  It gives me a feeling that reminds me of a song that tops off a really good night out at a bar or club (a club more likely with this song) and makes you feel happy all over.  The only thing holding me back is it has "guilty pleasure" written all over it.   Honestly, it's not something I would be blastin' with my boys around. But, I can at least rock it with the Mrs. and hopefully not be seen as soft for liking it.  Hopefully.  However, she does like to poke the fun sometimes.

Let me man it up a bit here: Dude, check out that picture of Lisa Miskovsky!  Swedish chicks are so hot.

Anyhoo, check it out, let me know if you likey.

Guilty Pleasure

Nothing wets a young man's appetite more than the thought of young lipstick lesbians making out at a party, bar or club.  No really, hear me out!  I kept hearing the hype surrounding Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl"and I wasn't really conviced yet.  I mean, even Lilly Allen rode the hype machine all the way to famousity and she's not that great.  (Yes, I know it's not really a word.) I mean hell...even NPR covered this song. 

The song is all out bangin' electro--after I heard the song I was completely hooked.  But, it wasn't until my brother told me he liked it I realized how good it was.  He's not really one to like this kind of stuff...for the most part.  

It's one of those peak hour dance floor fillers that has the drunk girls grinding on each other and the drunk boys trying to keep their boners down while watching them.  Just the thought of two young, hot girls is enough to make any man get excited.  Perry does an excellent job of telling the reasons why she likes kissing girl and why it's okay.  Either way, I love this song.
