Revealing Your Guilty Pleasures
We all have a song or artist that we secretly enjoy but know we "shouldn't." Today, it's time to 'fess up as we look at "guilty pleasures" -- a phenomenon that's emerged recently as teen idols like Justin Timberlake are gaining newfound credibility with urban hipsters, Beyonce continues to dominate the pop charts with "Irreplaceable," and Lebanese discovery Mika is doing the same in England with his single "Grace Kelly." Also: Cuban drummer and composer Dafnis Prieto talks about the mix between European chamber music and African percussion on his Grammy-nominated album "Absolute Quintet."
Should Guilty Pleasures Involve Guilt?
We all have our secret indulgences that fill us equally with pleasure and shame. Today we'll examine why. Guests include Eric Weisbard of Seattle's Experience Music Project and Time Out New York editor Elizabeth Vincintelli.
