Guilty Pleasure of the Week: "Cookie Jar"

We're starting to wonder if this column is going to be overly Katy Perry-related. Whatever. We like to keep it in the fam, whether it's ours or not. This week's pick is the pro-promiscuity ditty, "Cookie Jar", penned by Katy's current boyfriend, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Actually, we're not sure if it's exactly pro-promiscuity, it may be more of an issue regarding dude's complete and utter failure at being monogamous. That's his bad. With Ms. Perry's boner party credentials, we'd be trying to lock it down.

Guilty Pleasure of The Week: Rod Stewart.

We didn't have cool parents growing up. Well, they were cool but they weren't listening to cool shit. Everyone has friends whose parents introduced them to Zeppelin and Monk and shit like that. We're not those friends. Our parents introduced us to Phil Collins, Gloria Estefan, and the newest subject of Guilty Pleasure of The Week, Rod Stewart. Sure, the guy was hard as fuck with that "Young Turks" shit, but this catchy ode to self-pity preempts, and pretty much set our ears up for, all the emo we listened to as teens. Oh well, this song still gets to us to this day. Too bad the video made the song even softer. Whoops.

Guilty Pleasure of the Week: Katy Perry

In all honesty, we should have named this post "Guilty Pleasure of The Year". But since it's sort of a kick-off for something we've wanted to do for a while, we might as well go straight to #1 on our list. Our favorite bi-curious, anti-guyliner, ex-Christian pop songstress of the moment (if there's another one that fits that description out there, let us know) caught our eyes by looking a lot like a trashy Zooey Deschanel. That is usually enough for most people, but after secretly listening to her entire(!) album a couple of times, we thinks she makes catchy shit too. We can't hate on that. Plus she has a cat and a blog named Kitty Purry, which hints at her having a sense of humor and being somewhat clever. Holla. Check out her recent cover of MGMT's "Electric Feel" here.
