Pink - Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - reviewed.



Driving home the other night I heard Pink’s new song: Blow Me (One Last Kiss). Turns out it’s already a few weeks old. I must’ve been living under a rock because I’m a big fan of Pink. I was never a huge fan of Can’t Take Me Home, but the catchy singles off M!ssundaztood caught my attention. Then I got hooked with the highly underrated Try This. I now own all of her albums.

So anyway, I’m driving home, and I hear a new Pink song playing. After I got over the ‘WTF?! When did this happen?’ shock, I cranked the volume and started listening. I haven’t bought it on iTunes (I’ll just wait for the album in September), but I have been contributing a significant amount of views to her lyric video on YouTube.


I can’t say it’s my favorite Pink song ever, but there’s nothing wrong with the song and, after a couple of listens, it does become quite addictive.

The song kicks off with a nice techno/dance feel. It’s very reminiscent of Modest Mouse’s Float On actually.

Once Pink starts singing, it kind of sounds like Pink is covering a Maroon 5 track. She hits some new notes that we haven’t heard her do on her radio singles before.

If there was any worry that Pink wasn’t staying true to herself, you need not fear. After the main chorus kicks in, we get a few cuss words.

Pink sings about having a “shit day,” and declares, in this post-break-up anthem, no more “whiskey dick” for her.

She continues on:

“I think I finally had enough. I think I maybe think too much. I think this may be it for us. Blow me one last kiss. You think I’m just too serious. I think you’re full of shit.”

It’s so simple and it works. Then again, that’s the case with most Pink songs.

Overall, the lyrics are actually pretty cool. It’s your basic ‘break-up/I’m going to be fine’ song, but somehow it feels a little deeper than that – even with the dance beats carrying on in the background throughout the entire song. It’s the feelings of Alanis Morissette mixed with the sound of LMFAO.

Personally, I’m a fan.

After listening to the emotional rollercoaster that was Funhouse, it’s nice to hear a simple, foot tapping, F’-You-ex-lover song.

The nice thing about Pink is, if you don’t like her current single, wait until the next one. There’s usually something on her album for everyone’s liking.

Celebrity (look-a-like) sightings - part 3

Part 1 and Part 2 were good, but I think there's some definite look-a-likes this time around. I'll get right to the comparisons, but let me know what you think? Am I spot on or what? I saved the very best (and closest comparison) for last this time, so make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page. On the left: Edge On the right: Jamie Campbell Bower May as well start with a wrestling-related one. It seems those pro wrestlers have doppelgängers all over. I'd mentioned before that Wilson Bethel resembles Edge . I still stand by that statement. However, I think Jamie Campbell Bower looks even more like Edge. Jamie Bower, for those who are unaware like I was, is an actor who has quite an impressive resume already. I just watched The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (review to come later) and that's the first time I saw him...or so I thought. Jamie was in the final three Twilight movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2 , and t...

Choosing a side on DVD menu's -- what's the point?

Most DVDs go to a menu screen after you’re done hearing about ‘the cloud,’ how cigarettes can kill you and seeing a preview for the latest animated film. Some, however, give you an option. ‘Pick a side,’ they say. I’ve run into this twice recently – with the G.I. Joe DVD and The Break-Up DVD . At first I thought it was a cool concept. Maybe, if you pick Cobra’s side, there’s an alternate ending? Or maybe some special features --- like an in-depth look at Storm Shadow’s sword training. If you pick the side of the Joe’s, maybe there’s a look at their stunt training. No, no, and no. I went with Cobra and it takes you to the exact same screen, with the exact same features, as it does when you pick G.I. Joe. Same thing with The Break-Up .

Celebrity (look-a-like) sightings - part 2

Disclaimer: all of the following celebrity comparisons are based on personal opinion. You may agree with some and think I’m bat-shit crazy on others. There are ordinary people who look like other ordinary people. There are ordinary people who look like celebrities. Lastly, there are celebrities who look like other celebrities. Here's round 2 of celebrity look-a-likes: CM Punk and Adam Levine Adam Levine is the lead singer of Maroon 5. CM Punk is the longest reigning WWE Champion in recent history. Levine prefers that his hair stands straight up. Punk likes to gel his hair back. If not for the hair differences, these two could pretty much be each other. Even with the different hair styles, they could easily be brothers. I'm sure the ink-covered arms and other body parts don't hurt in making them look similar. I think Punk has more meat on him, but these two pretty much have the same build.
