Play That Funky Music
Kottke points us to a story about the guilty pleasures people store on their iPods. Guilty pleasures like New Kids on the Block or Britney Spears. At the risk of obliterating my own street cred, here are a few of the tracks I play when nobody's looking
"Shattered Dreams" by Johnny Hates Jazz. I am a child of the 80s, after all.
"Cry Me A River" by Justin Timberlake. Possibly my most shameful selection.
"Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera. Hey, it's catchy as hell. And she's hot. Or at least she was before she went all skanky.
"Take My Breath Away" by Berlin. More cotton candy from the Reagan Era.
"Whenever, Wherever" by Shakira. Extremely catchy. Extremely hot.
I want to create an all-sugar playlist on my iPod, so send me your suggestions for the cheesiest, schmaltziest, sappiest songs that have ever had the misfortune of being recorded.
I'm thinking it would be cool to convene some of us Twin Cities/Greater Minnesota bloggers for a beer or something. I need to do some research and figure out how many of us there are and whether there's interest in organizing something like that.

I'd be up for an excuse to head into the Twin Cities sometime, but can't make promises, as I'm 3 hours away.
As for guilty pleasures in my mp3 collection...dare I say it...Meatloaf.

There is a Minneapolis meetup, but it seems to get cancelled for lack of interest every month.

One Twin Cities blogger that it'd be cool to meet is Linda from frolicanddetour.com. And she's an attorney just like you!
