Freddie & The Hitch-Hikers - "Sinners"
I bought a cell phone today. And I literally caught someone elbowing their friend and saying, "Look, at the sucker." Sigh. I felt like my former self (my pre-celf, if you will (please don't)) was singing this song to my future self as I sat there and actually said the words "If I have a choice, I'll take the free mp3 player." This is how it starts. Soon I'll be buying $30 shirts, and saying things like "I really like that belt." What's interesting about Freddie (and the boys) is that he knows the sinner is wrong, he seems to take pleasure in describing the suffering the sinner will endure. He's so sure of it, he can play the laziest (and smallest) guitar solo I've ever heard, and get away with it. [I got it here]
In keeping with the spell-it-out style of social commentary that is the new Daft Punk album, I will immediately follow a paragraph about cell phones with...yeah, we get it...tech-no-logic. But forget all that, because Daft Punk is here to LET you dance. [Buy]

Pathetic.
I haven't heard the new Daft Punk, but they are certainly a guilty pleasure in my household. Ask Me-Wy (my wife's name) why, and she'll tell you that you don't need to ask me why. Daft Punk is a household name in mine.
