'A villain, a rogue, an evil or "black-hearted" person,
hence abbreviated low brow U.K. style to "blaggard"
From blackguard -- either concerning street urchins who would blacken clients' shoes, or from the house servants who worked in the dark quarters of the house: a person whose conduct or character is disgraceful, disgusting, morally unfit; a thief with evil intent; a contemptible scoundrel; a term of abuse; a foulmouthed person'

1. Son House - Walkin' Blues
2. My counter on last.fm would have you believe it's Alabama Train by Louisiana Red, though I think it's currently giving over to one of Pictures of Home (Deep Purple), Magnu (Hawkwind) or The Super-Natural (John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Peter Green)
3. "Guilty pleasure" makes it sound like there's something I do that I'm vaguely ashamed of. What do you take me for?

Have recently been coming around to that maybe Mastodon's album "Leviathan" really is all it's cracked up to be.

In anticipation of the 10th birthday of my club night I've been revisiting some corkers from the start of the decade - Fat Lip, Bodies, Tribute, Stupify. These should probably count as guilty pleasures but I feel no shame in playing songs I know will make the dancefloor go off.
