BenJen's Blog

Welcome to my blog. A place where you may not find consistency, but where you will find various rants and irrelevant anecdotes, and 'witty' text on the subject of whatever crops up into a poor student's mind.
Please, do try to enjoy it... Constructive criticism is more than welcomed.

Have a nice day now, chaps and chappettes.

Warning: May contain traces of football, video games, and musical ramblings... It's mostly the latter, in truth.

My Music Guilty Pleasures: #17

For a second I had a major blonde moment there. I thought that what with this being the 17th placed guilty pleasure, on the 17th day of the month, I must have finally caught up on my slack posting of late. Then I quickly realised that naturally I'm doing this in numerically descending order... Whoops.

Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough



This song bears both fresh reasons for me liking it, and fresh reasons for it being considered a guilty pleasure. On a fundamental level, I of course do like this song - otherwise it wouldn't be here on this list at all; not even at the bottom end (ooh err), let alone middling. Any football fans in the house? Any Liverpool FC fans in the house? Any Luis Suarez fans in the house? Yes, yes and yes again, if the house we're talking about is mine. Just Can't Get Enough is the controversial and talismanic Uruguayan's goalscoring celebration music, with modified lyrics. Therefore I associate this track with some form of elation. Fortunately, I don't seem to associate with the sheer disappointment that tends to be felt at the final whistle. Why's it a guilty pleasure then? I'll knock the two factors out as quickly as I can. Firstly, go watch the video above if you haven't already. Secondly, remember a certain girl group doing a cover version for Comic Relief? No? You'd best watch the video below then. Emphasis on the watching, rather than the listening...no particular reason why...
