EVENT RECAP: A Conversation With Kim Cattrall
When Wasserman asked the audience, “Should we talk about Sex and the City?”, the entire room filled with applause. So what makes this TV series so special? Cattrall says it is hard for her to take an objective view because of her involvement in the series, but she describes it as “post-feminist”. For example, Sex and the City exemplifies working women with style, without the “man suit”. Cattrall believes the four main characters are “beautifully drawn” and together makes one complete woman. At this point, the audience reacted with a murmur of agreement. When asked if there is going to be a sequel for Sex and the City (the movie), Cattrall remarked that she gets into trouble every time she’s asked this, but, “it looks good“.
Mashup of Billboard’s Top 25 Pop Hits of 2008
So, this morning, on The Beat 94.5, they played a Mashup of Billboard’s Top 25 Pop Hits of 2008. DJ Earworm (pretty horrible name, eh? – sorry) used Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” as the background track and described the “Viva La Pop” mashup as a “symphonic feel”. It’s actually quite good and unusual for pop songs to be mixed together like this. I suppose it’s something different and refreshing from listening to Armin Van Buuren’s trance yearmix non-stop. Anyway, there’s a music video for it as well – You download it here. The tracklist is below:
- Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain – Low
- Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love
- Alicia Keys – No One
- Lil Wayne Featuring Static Major – Lollipop
- Timbaland Featuring OneRepublic – Apologize
- Jordin Sparks Duet With Chris Brown – No Air
- Sara Bareilles – Love Song
- Usher Featuring Young Jeezy – Love in This Club
- Chris Brown – With You
- Chris Brown – Forever
