The songs I have posted below provide me with an interesting dilemma. I, like many people, tend to pride myself on my collection of music, and listening to music that I deem “better” than what is normally played on the radio or TV. But if you have taken a sneak peak at the songs below you may be confused.
I can only offer this somewhat convoluted reasoning…I enjoy music in the most general sense; that is, that I enjoy pleasant sounds in my ear. Because of this, I end up not discriminating against any song or genre. Although many would describe my taste in music as “hipster”, I actually end up really liking songs that not even the target audience of 13 year olds like. Now this isn’t to say I inexplicably like this music. Honestly, I could go on forever about why I believe Soulja Boy to be better than Kanye West, however, when it comes down to it I just like the sound of these songs better than the other mass market crap.
So here are 3 songs that many people would consider “guilty pleasures” but I simply consider pleasures.
1. DJ Felli Fel – Feel It (Ft. T-Pain, Sean Paul, Pitbull & Flo-Rida)
This song makes me want to go back to my University days. Set up the beer pong table in the front yard, Put on my sleeveless tuxedo t, get raging drunk on Pabst Blue Ribbon, go to the local bar (Smijies) and tear the d-floor up with my ridiculously good dance moves. Yea this song is that good.

2. Iglu & Hartly
This song is a perfect pop gem. The whole song is based on the insanely infectious chorus and filled up with some Crazy Town like rapping in between. People hated on Crazy Town because of “Butterfly” but you’re… err…crazy…if you didn’t like Butterfly. Well, I foresee the same fate for Iglu & Hartly even though they look like genuinely good dudes that you would probably want to hang out with.

3. Soulja Boy – Kiss Me Through The Phone
I can’t find this song anywhere so I’ll just post the video (I highly doubt a lot of our regular readers would care to download this anyways). Anyways, I heard this song like 400 times on the radio on my drive from Cali and I enjoyed it every time. The production is basic but that’s all Soulja Boy needs. He will probably make millions from the ringtone downloads alone. He is the best at creating cultural phenomenons and this is his attempt at creating a new one by getting everyone to make out with their phones. I bet most people only say “kiss me through the phone” as a joke to their friends to end a conversation but either way Soulja Boy got into your head. Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em 4 Lyfe.
