Oh, man. Manheim Steamroller...

I spent the weekend at my brother's, and we were sitting around after just having seen The Matrix Reloaded. We were agreeing the Fresh Aire series is a guilty pleasure for us. I don't know why, but we had a copy of Fresh Aire III that was playing in the background continuously one summer long ago, so we were kind of inoculated, inured, I don't know.

We could sit and listen to it now, and not bat an eyebrow, but if my sister-in-law walked into the room, she'd give us that "special look" and ask all manner of needling questions about it, and we probably couldn't defend it. I don't even know if I could call it an acquired taste. It's magnificent orchestral themes sometimes set to weird beats, covered in a generous portion of cheese.

I have all 8 Fresh Aire CDs. I went out of my way to find them.
