For the second consecutive semester, Mission Improv-able is adding two new comedians to its ranks.
This week in the world of entertainment, Hollywood’s sequel obsession approached impressive new heights, and prospects for “Saturday Night Live” rose dramatically. Here’s a recap of the week’s five biggest pop culture stories.
Pharrell’s “G I R L” is just good enough to keep the 40 year-old music industry veteran at the forefront of the pop culture landscape – no more, no less.
Pharrell’s world takeover continues. Four Grammy wins and seven nominations. A performance slot on the Oscar ceremony. An Oscar nomination. A producing credit on recent albums by Beck, Beyonce and countless others. And now, Pharrell has another notch to add to his 2014 resume: his second solo album, playfully titled “G.I.R.L.” will arrive on March 3, a day after the Oscars. Better yet, the veteran producer’s second solo record will feature collaborations with some of the modern pop elite: Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus.
Next time you catch a late-night Mission: Improv-able comedy show, you’ll see two fresh faces mixing it up with the comedy veterans.
The Killers- Direct Hits Four studio albums, 10 years and over 20 million albums sold later, The Killers released “Direct Hits,” a compilation of the Las Vegas band’s biggest hits. The album wastes no time– the popular “Mr. Brightside” opens the album with the unique sound that launched the Killers into stardom. “Shot at the Night” feels like an ‘80s hit with Brandon Flowers’ haunting vocals and the distinct use of synths. Though not as lyrically complex as other Killers’ songs, the desperation in Flowers’ voice and sheer danceability of the music make it a standout track. “Just Another Girl” includes an equally desperate Flowers as he pines for a lost love in a synth-heavy ballad. Despite positive elements, the album egregiously omits some of the band’s best and most beloved tracks, including “Jenny was a Friend of Mine” and “Bling (Confession of a King).” “Direct Hits” follows the Killers’ discography chronologically. It includes most of The Killers’ popular songs, but ultimately misses too many of the greatest Killers’ tracks and includes unnecessary songs–namely, the Calvin Harris remix of “When You Were Young”–to truly encompass the immense impact of the Killers’ music. – Kara Avacena
