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 Soundsrecording 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:
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 McCartneywrote 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.

He also produced four sons, who were born in South African but now live in Arizona, releasing this tribal swing hit as the band Kongos:

Today’s music video is House of the Rising Sun, released in 1964 by The Animals:The song, recorded in one take, is based on a traditional folk ballad also known as Rising Sun Blues, first recorded in 1933 by Appalachian artists Clarence “Tom” Ashley and Gwen Foster. American musicologist Alan Lomax made a field recording of a 16-year-old girl named Georgia Turner singing the song acappella in the Appalachian hills of rural Kentucky, which was released in 1941. Woody Guthrie also recorded a version in 1941, and it was recorded a few years later by bluesman Leadbelly. Inspired by Woody’s recording, Bob Dylan recorded an acoustic version in 1961 for his debut album, released in 1962:Two years later, Tom Wilson, the producer for The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, released in 1963, overdubbed a backing band for the song:And here’s a fan-shot video of a recent concert in South America of The Rolling Stones performing Dylan’s Like a Rolling Stone:Mick, now 72, walked into a store in Brazil and tried to use the phone, but didn’t have any money. Here’s how he tried to convince the shopkeepers that he was a “very famous rock star”:

The Vampires core band members are: actor Johnny Depp, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and lead singer Vincent Furnier, better known as Alice Cooper.The group takes its name from a drinking fraternity formed by Cooper in the 1970s in a loft at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood, where the principal members were Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, Micky Dolenz, and Harry Nilsson, and occasionally John Lennon. The Grammy Awards will also feature a tribute by Lady Gaga to David Bowie, who died last month.

Today’s video is Coldplay with a new song Hymn for the Weekend:Coldplay got mixed reviews for its Super Bowl 2016 halftime show on Sunday — some say Bruno Mars and Beyonce stole the show — but at least Chris Martin of Coldplay wasn’t lip-synching and got the crowd singing with him. Of course, we loved the colour of the stage show and the dancers on the football field with coloured umbrellas. And no, despite some speculation that he was wearing Desigual, he wasn’t. By the way, that’s Beyonce in Coldplay’s new video, which has caused some controversy.
The use of coloured powder in India (in Coldplay’s video) reminds me of Desigual’s annual Color Run in Barcelona:

Saint Valentine receives a rosary. Painting by David Teniers III, 1638 – 1685.
Valentine’s Day wasn’t invented by greeting card companies. The history is murky but is may date back to the 3rd century in Rome, when Emperor Claudius II outlawed soldiers from marrying, believing men without wives and children would make better fighters. But one priest, Valentine, felt the decree was unjust and secretly married soldiers. Claudius, discovering this, put Valentine in prison and sentenced him to death.
During Valentine’s time in prison, he fell in love with a young woman, possibly his jailer’s daughter, and sent her a note proclaiming his love, signing it “From your Valentine.”
Vintage Valentine’s card
Later, he became St. Valentine. By the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius declared Feb. 14 St. Valentine’s Day. It was not until the Middle Ages that it began to be associated with courtly love and romance. People exchanged Valentine’s notes on the day, and small gifts of affection, but by the 19th century, mass printing production allowed the public access to printed cards, which created a whole industry. It now is one of the most popular days of the year to give a card adorned with hearts and cupids — two iconic symbols of love that I’ve been painting on shirts since I first opened the Angel store in 1978:
Today, if you’re looking for something to show your love on Valentine’s Day, we’ve got a great collection from Desigual: dresses, skirts, tops, coats & bags:

This is a new song, One Love, by Vancouver band Marianas Trench:Lead singer Josh Ramsay, who earlier bought Desigual at my store, lives just down the street in Gastown, where he recorded the band’s new album. I sometimes talk to Josh while he’s walking his dog (which made a brief appearance at 2:24 in the video for the band’s Pop 101 song). Josh explains here how he was riding an emotional high after co-writing and producing Call Me Maybe for Vancouver’s Carly Rae Jepsen, but then his mother got really sick, his pending wedding fell apart and he couldn’t write. He ended up in hospital, which got his creative juices flowing. You can click here to see how the video above was made. The band is currently touring the U.S, and will start a cross-Canada tour in March, ending in Vancouver on April 8 with a concert at the Pacific Coliseum, along with Canadian band Walk off the Earth….Jepsen released a video last year featuring actor Tom Hanks lip-synching I Really Like You before dancing in the streets of NYC with Jepsen and her Canadian pal Justin Bieber:Here is Carly’s latest bit of “near-perfect pop” from her new recording Emotion:And here’s one by the Bieb, Skrillex and Diplo:
