Embarassing? Well…I like Britney Spears, and I find that slightly embarassing. I also have a song called “the witch’s ghost” by (I think) the Hex Girls, which is from a scooby-doo movie. And there’s that Partridge Family song about waking up in love… but other than that I’m not embrassed by my MP3’s. Or even my Ace Of Base videos 🙂 ---

Most of my Mp3/OGG collection consists of alternative rock, progressive/symphonic rock, hard rock, new wave, and “Adult Album Alternative” type folk rock. Still, though, look hard enough, and you’ll find some: Bread England Dan and John Ford Coley Carpenters Barbra Streisand Abba Olivia Newton-John Hall and Oates New agey nature sounds Yes, I’m a hererosexual male, too. ---

I have an alarming amount of Aqua in my collection. And I can sing along to every bit of it. ---

Hmm I thought of another that I am pretty ashamed of having. Chinese Freestyle. It is a rap song which I normally abhor but this one for some reason caught my attention. It is horribly racist if you think about it that way or funny if you don’t take it seriously. “I can tip toe into your bathroom while your little boy piss… spy on you while you take a shit.” It is utterly stupid and a guilty pleasure all in one.
