Kurt’s Blog: All About Pink & JT!

What’s bigger news this morning…Pink coming to the Wells Fargo Arena…or the release of Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Album?

The answer, of course…Pink. She’s AWESOME, and couldn’t be more pumped about her coming to Des Moines (for the first, but probably not the last, time)…November 8th at the Wells Fargo Arena.

Back in 2007 (maybe 2006…can’t remember), my wife and I went and saw Pink & Justin Timberlake at the Qwest Center in Omaha, and it was an incredible concert. Pink blew us away with her live show.

You know lists are comin’ this morning:

Top 10 Pink Songs
Note: It’s just a matter of time before her new single (with the singer from Fun.) is at least #3 or #4 on this list.

1. Trouble

2. So What

3. Long Way to Happy

4. Just Give Me a Reason

5. There You Go

6. Stupid Girls

7. Raise Your Glass

8. U & Ur Hand

9. Just Like a Pill

10. Mean

November 8th…need a sitter.

 

Justin Timberlake

His 20/20 album is out today…can’t wait to hear the whole thing….and apparently, later this fall, there will be a “Part 2” to the 20/20 album as well.

Justin Timberlake's album release party

In the meantime…

My Top 10 JT Songs (including N*Sync)

1. Love Stoned

2. What Goes Around (Comes Around)

3. My Love

4. Mirrors

5. Girlfriend

6. Bye Bye Bye

7. Rock Your Body

8. Cry Me a River

9. Summer Love

10. Space Cowboy

Note: I despise that I just wrote “Space Cowboy”…it’s such a not-a-good song, but I like it. Ugh.

Am I The Only One?

Am I the only one that thinks that that “Spring Breakers” movie looks totally great? It’s not even due solely to the influx of women in bikinis either…from what I’ve read, it’s got a lot of craziness to it…(including a crime/shooting spree set to Britney Spears’ song “Everytime”) It sounds crazy enough that I would love it.

No Bachelor Pad?
Apparently, Bachelor Pad won’t be happening this summer. That’s very disappointing, it’s the finest of the TV train wrecks. I will miss it.

American Horror Story: Season 3

AHS 3: The Coven….this time it’s about witchy women in New Orleans. It sounds great…the first 5 episodes of AHS 2 were great, then it totally lost its way. We never found out anything about those aliens…and, really, that was the payoff for BloodyFace?

Oh, who am I kidding…I’m already sucked into AHS 3. Done & done.

 

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!

Choose ‘Trainspotting’: Ewan McGregor and Danny Boyle reflect on the life-changing film

Ewan McGregor, for a fleeting moment after "Trainspotting" came out, felt like a rock star. The kinetic film about four heroin addicts in late-1980s Scotland was and, 30 years later, remains defining — in his career, in the culture and in his understanding of what true artistic satisfaction can feel like.
