They talk about it here,,,,,Here’s a video from last week of actress Dakota Johnson knocking back shots of tequila with Late Show host Stephen Colbert. She mentioned that she had to be back in Vancouver, Canada, the next morning for a 5:30 a.m. call to resume filming the two Fifty Shades of Grey movies being shot here:

Dakota and her co-star, Jamie Dornon, earlier were filming in front of my Angel store, which can be seen in the background in these pix that appeared on Just Jared:

Desigual’s new model reflects diversity in the fashion world

Desigual's new model: Alicia Borras, 70, was Miss Spain in 1965.

Desigual’s new model for its Spring-Summer 2016 Exotic Jeans campaign video is Alicia Borrás, 70, who was Miss Spain in 1965. She retired from the fashion runways 40 years ago but was recently convinced to do a campaign for the Barcelona-based brand, which she talks about in this video:

Desigual denim in Vancouver Canada at angelvancouver.com

Desigual denim just gets better with age.

She is also featured in the campaign for Desigual’s home/living collection:Alicia-Borrás-Desigual-Home-Living-collection-SS2016

Borrás isn’t the oldest fashion model and not the first grey-haired model used by Desigual. Last fall, the company featured a grey-haired man modelling a shirt (below):

Desigual BILL shirt. $115. Fall-Winter 2015

Desigual earlier featured a Canadian model, Chantelle Winnie, who has a skin condition known as vitiligo; she was Desigual’s brand ambassador last year.

Desigual has also featured two men kissing in a video and two women kissing. It’s an effort by Desigual to reflect diversity in the fashion world. Desigual’s slogan is La Vida es Chula (translated from Spanish: Life is Cool)!

Angel’s specials this week: We are continuing our 50% off clearance sale on Desigual menswear from previous seasons, including T-shirts, shirts, winter coats, blazers, sweaters and pants.

Today’s music video is a fairly new song by Paul McCartney, written with Kanye West, FourFiveSeconds, which I saw Sir Paul perform solo last night in Vancouver:

I also like this remix. It was a fabulous show — the lights, sound and high-definition video (not to mention the lasers and pyrotechnics) were superb. Certainly much better than when I saw him in 1964 in Vancouver performing with that other group he played with.Beatles.Vancouver.concert.Aug.22.1964 Beatles.concert.Vancouver.1964 Beatles.giphy

It was also great to see him perform with Vancouver’s Diana Krall on one song, My Valentine, although I was hoping her hubby, Elvis Costello, might join Paul for a song or two. Maybe we’ll see Johnny Depp onstage tonight for the second One on One show. Depp was filming the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie in Vancouver, with Paul, now 73, playing a pirate (much like Keith Richards did in a previous installment).

Here is the full set list from last night’s show, which he’ll play again tonight in Vancouver:

Today’s music video is Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats performing S.O.B:

If you think this song is about conflict between the sacred & the secular, here’s the backstory about how Nathaniel Ratecliff used to be a missionary before announcing in the middle of a sermon to Hopi Indians: “I no longer believe in God.”

Today’s music video is Stressed Out by 21 pilots:

The duo, which will play a concert in Vancouver on April 10, takes it name from a 1947 Arthur Miller play called All My Sons; it is based on a true story about the owner of a factory that knowingly shipped faulty engines for WWII planes that resulted in the deaths of 21 pilots during the war. Here’s another song by the duo, Car Radio:

Here’s a bit more of an upbeat Elvis song from Blue Hawaii, played on a ukulele:

Earlier this week, I went to see the new film, Born to be Blue, with Ethan Hawke playing former jazz great Chet Baker. The film was written & directed by Canadian Robert Budreau, 42, who attended the Vancouver Film School, located a block from my store. Here is a live version, recorded in Tokyo, of Baker’s signature tune, My Funny Valentine:

The recording was made in 1987. Baker died a year later after accidentally falling out the window of his Amsterdam hotel. Here is Baker’s last interview.

Every time I see that photo (above) of the woman eating cake, I think of Cake By the Ocean by DNCE, fronted by Joe Jonas, formerly of the Jonas Brothers:

And because this post is about bags, here’s an extended live version from 1967 of Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag by the Godfather of Soul, James Brown:

And here’s Little Green Bag from 1969 by Dutch group The George Baker Selection:

The song lyric was actually about the little American greenback (dollar bills) — listen carefully and you’ll hear it — but the song was wrongly titled, causing some people to speculate that it was about a little green bag of marijuana. It became a cult classic after it was used in Quentin Tarantino‘s 1992 film Reservoir Dogs — it hit No. 1 in Japan the same year. At the time the band self-financed the song recording, George Baker (real name: Johannes Bouwens) was working in a lemonade factory.

Today’s music is God Only Knows by the Beach Boys from the Pet Sounds recording released 50 years ago this year:

Here is a video that captures the recording session, with Brian Wilson in the control booth, trying to shape the song as he heard it in his head:

This is the recording studio versions of Wouldn’t It Be Nice:

Pet Sounds is considered a pop masterpiece, with Wilson at his creative peak as a composer, songwriter and producer. For Pet Sounds, Brian used a group of studio session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew, including the legendary guitarist/bassist Carol Kaye. It was also a chance for Brian to break away from his overbearing father, who managed and produced their records. His father was abusive at times, which you can hear here. The Beatles loved the album, inspiring them to record their landmark Sgt. Pepper’s album. Here’s a video of Brian Wilson with former Beatles producer George Martin, who died yesterday at the age of 90:

Paul McCartney wrote today about George’s passing: “I’m so sad to hear the news of the passing of dear George Martin. I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever. He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me. He guided the career of The Beatles with such skill and good humour that he became a true friend to me and my family. If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George. From the day that he gave The Beatles our first recording contract, to the last time I saw him, he was the most generous, intelligent and musical person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.
“It’s hard to choose favourite memories of my time with George, there are so many but one that comes to mind was the time I brought the song ‘Yesterday’ to a recording session and the guys in the band suggested that I sang it solo and accompany myself on guitar. After I had done this George Martin said to me, “Paul I have an idea of putting a string quartet on the record”. I said, “Oh no George, we are a rock and roll band and I don’t think it’s a good idea”.  With the gentle bedside manner of a great producer he said to me, ‘Let us try it and if it doesn’t work we won’t use it and we’ll go with your solo version.’  I agreed to this and went round to his house the next day to work on the arrangement.
“He took my chords that I showed him and spread the notes out across the piano, putting the cello in the low octave and the first violin in a high octave and gave me my first lesson in how strings were voiced for a quartet. When we recorded the string quartet at Abbey Road, it was so thrilling to know his idea was so correct that I went round telling people about it for weeks. His idea obviously worked because the song subsequently became one of the most recorded songs ever with versions by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and thousands more.”

McCartney will be playing Vancouver on April 19 & 20. Pre-sale tickets go on sale Thursday March 10.
