Guilty Pleasures :(

Embrace the diversity! I can find more heaviness in a decent trance/dance/electronic album than a hundred indecipherable-spiky-logo black metal albums :)

Yeah, Scorn's "Gyral" is one of the heaviest things I have. I think people just assume I'm one-dimensional because of the long hair and band shirts.

Speaking of Scorn, why do people look at me weird when I bust out with the bass line to "White Irises Blind"? That's an awesome groove! Maybe my friends are one-dimensional....
 
I love laughing at sad films. I laughed at Titanic until my sides hurt. War Horse was plain funny and I cried with laughter atThe Boy In Striped Pyjamas (especially the end!)
My friends tell me I'm a psychotic serial killer in the making.
Oh dear.

It's the only way to get through that sappy tear-jerky stuff. I got drug to the theater when Titanic came out and sat there with a scowl on my face until Leo's character died. Then I stood up and applauded.

I sometimes get ugly looks from my girlfriend when I laugh at someone getting killed in a movie or TV show. She gasps and I uncontrollably go "HAHAHAHA!" The Walking Dead is like comedy to me!
 
How is Sublime a guilty pleasure?
Its like saying hella, its cool in Cali, but elsewhere, not so much. Though I admit that I think wicked (the rest of the countries equivalent to hella) sounds really stupid.

Another guilty pleasure:

Youve got that backwards... saying "hella" regardless of locale makes one appear less than intelligent.

Wicked, on the other hand, is still way cool.
 
I dig Judas. I would say a guilty pleasure is Last Rose of summer off of Sin after Sin. That song is fantastic.

Turbo is just known as Priests sell-out album, like the Kiss disco album, but I've always loved it and it has some pretty awesome tracks, with one of my faves being Locked In.

Sin After Sin is awesome, but my favorite is Diamonds And Rust, but the live version off Unleashed in the East is even better.
