One of my guilty pleasures is the John Tesh radio program.  I don't know, it is informative.  Shut up.  However, I hate his music.  So, they had John Tesh's Carol of the Bells on the radio today.  It is basically a Spanish style guitar playing the version of Carol of the Bells that I could come up with if I had to.  It was just that bad.  Forget my stylistic problem with the Spanish style - CotB is best as a song that is reminiscent of something Dickensian.  But, it was just so, uh, uncomplicated musically that it bored me.  I will still listen to Intelligence for Your Life - no hard feelings John?
Also, we heard Enya's We Wish You a Merry Christmas.  We stopped laughing hours later.  It was like a parody of itself.  Again - Enya is a big guilty pleasure for me.  But it was just terrible - it basically went something like this:  take the music of any typical Enya song, now sing a Christmas song over it in a very slow, Enya-like "peaceful and soothing yet cheesy and lame" voice, and in a slightly minor key, and that was what it was.  I don't know, it touched a funny bone.
