Kurt’s Blog: Avril Lavigne & Eminem

 

Ok, this Blog is done with very little luster…after Aaron Rodgers got hurt and the Packers fell to the Bears, the will to type is quite the burden this morning.

Let’s Start With the Greatness of Avril Lavigne

Yes, the greatness of Avril Lavigne. She’s one of my favorites…I like her songs, think she’s cute…and yes, my friends give me a hard time over that.

Avril has as new album out today “Avril Lavigne”…and it sounds excellent from what I’ve heard.

Oh, and if you heard a rumor that I get a little emotional during “When You’re Gone”…well, I can neither confirm or deny that (and the worst part…it has no sentimental attachment for me…I just think it’s a pretty song…okay, I’m stopping before my friends stop making fun of me mercilessly).

Eminem

Usually, when Eminem comes out with an album, it would top my Blog….but, he falls behind Avril Lavigne (again, feel free to make fun of me on this one)…but Eminem has a new album out too…”Marshall Mathews LP, Part 2″…and from the songs that have been released, this is the AWESOME Eminem. Have you heard “Monster” yet? Holy cow, that song is incredible…and “Rap God”. Bravo Eminem.

AWESOME is as AWESOME does.
