Continuing on my “guilty pleasures” strand, I just found out that Q magazine devotes this month’s issue the subject. On newsstands as of yesterday or read a recap about some of Q’s greatest guilty pleasures here. Although I personally think there are way guiltier (and better) ELO songs than Livin’ Thing.

Here’s how old I am – despite being a big soft rock fan (there, I’ve said it), I had never heard the term “yacht rock.” Sean Rowley explains in this great Q guilty pleasures podcast. (Kornmann there is several minutes devoted to breaking down the musical structure of “Guilty,” by Babs and Barry Gibb which I know you will appreciate). Or there seems to be a related Yacht Rock series here.

That’s all for today…except for links to tell you how cool my friends are:

Tully has been named a filmmaker to watch!

Matt Ross made this short film Lola featuring Luna’s Dean Wareham. Although I guess the indieWIRE crowd knows all about it already! I like the tagline: A short film about a long night.

Fraser tries to cure his hangovers by making Pepto-Bismol ice cream. I’ll stick with Diet Coke and a fry up, I think.
