Today’s music video is a 1961 Japanese hit called Sukiyaki, (Ue o Muite Arukō in Japan oräøŠć‚’å‘ć„ć¦ę­©ć“ć†) by Japanese singer Kyu Sakamoto, written by lyricist Rokusuke Ei and composer Hachidai Nakamura:

The song’s name was changed for North American listeners, who couldn’t pronounce the Japanese title; the English title had nothing to do with the song, which was the first Japanese hit in America; it hit the top of the charts in 1963. In 1980, new wave band The Vapors used an Oriental riff in their hit Turning Japanese:

Kirsten Dunst’s version of the song was shown in 2009 at the “Pop Life” exhibition in London’s Tate Modern museum. Next is a video by Cyndi Lauper, Hoda Kotb and Sara Bareilles, who mashed up their hits True Colors and Brave to create a song to raise money for the fight against pediatric cancer. The music video for Truly Brave features young cancer patients from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia:

And finally, since we started off with a Japanese song from 1961, here’s something more contemporary from Japan by a band called The Winking Owl:

ćƒ—ćƒ­ćƒ‡ćƒ„ćƒ¼ć‚µćƒ¼ćØć—ć¦fade恮ruię°ć‚’čæŽćˆć‚¢ćƒ«ćƒćƒ åˆ¶ä½œć‚’č”Œć„ć€ę„½ę›²ć€ć‚µć‚¦ćƒ³ćƒ‰ćƒ—Ā­Ā­ćƒ­ćƒ€ć‚Æć‚·ćƒ§ćƒ³å…±ć«ćƒć‚Æć‚¹ćƒˆćƒ¬ćƒ™ćƒ«ć«ēŖå…„ć€‚ć‚¹ć‚±ćƒ¼ćƒ«ć‚¢ćƒƒćƒ—ć—ćŸćƒćƒ³ćƒ‰ć®ä»ŠćŒč©°ć¾ć£ćŸę„Ā­ę¬²Ā­ä½œć§ć™ļ¼

Angel has the look, free movie passes for new film Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

Katniss-3If you’re a fan of Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence and the Hunger Games sci-fi movie trilogy, we have some swag for you, including five double passes to the latest instalment — Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.

Hunger.Games.MockingjayShop at Angel between Nov. 8 and Nov. 20th and we’ll enter your name and e-mail to win a double pass to an advance screening of the new movie, which debuts Nov. 21 in Canada and the U.S.

We also have 20 Mockingjay buttons — the Mockingjay is the symbol ofĀ of hope and courage, which is needed to lead the rebellion in District 13 against the repressive Capitol government. We’ll give the buttons to the first 20 people who ask for them at Angel. We’ll also be giving away a foil-wrapped edition of the Mockingjay book, courtesy of the film’s distributor, Entertainment One Films. It is the final book in the trilogy written by Suzanne Collins.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The movie stars Jennifer Lawrence as the rebellion’s inspiration, known as Katniss Everdeen, as well as the late Seymour Phillip Hoffman as a rebellion plutarch, Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, who plays President Snow of the government that is trying to quell the rebellion, along with Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Robert Knepper, Elizabeth Banks and Julianne Moore. (A fourth Hunger Games movie, Part 2 of the Mockingjay book, has already wrapped filming and will be shown next year.)

We also have some Desigual clothes on sale for Mockingjay freedom fighters, shown in the photos below. Buy one and get the second one of equal value at 30% off when you mention Mockingjay:

Today’s music is a new song recorded by 1960s country music star Glen Campbell. It’s also his final song — the Country Music Hall of Famer is struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease and now is in a care home. The video for the song, I’m Not Going to Miss You, mixes home movies, some career highlights and performance footage, and his doctor explaining the results of a brain scan to Glen and his wife of 32 years, Kim:

Here’s Glen singing Witchita Lineman:

The song was written by Jimmy Webb, who also wrote this hit for Campbell, Galveston, which was about a soldier in Vietnam longing for his love and home in Texas:

Campbell was a great guitar picker, who worked as a studio musician in his early days, playing with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Merle Haggard, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, the Righteous Brothers, and the Monkees. He played with a legendary group of Los Angeles session musicians known as The Wrecking Crew, When Beach Boys member Brian Wilson dropped out of touring, Campbell played guitar on the road with the band in 1965 and can be heard on the album Pet Sounds. Two years later, he had his first hit with a faster version of John Hartford‘s song, Gentle On My Mind:

Here’s Campbell singing another Jimmy Webb song, By the Time I Get to Phoenix:

And finally, here’s Michael Stipe of REM and Patti Smith singing (slightly off-key) Witchita Lineman at a New Year’s Eve party three years ago:

Today’s music video is Black Slacks, an old rockabilly-boogie hit by Robert Gordon:

Here’s another from Robert Gordon and Link Wray, Red Hot:

This is Rumble, a 1958 instrumental by the father of the power chord, Link Wray:

Here’s Jimmy Page listening to and explaining Rumble:

In 1958, the big dance craze was The Stroll, where boys lined up on one side, the girls on the other, and the dancers would “stroll” down the dancefloor to the other end:

This is Let’s Dance from 1962 by Chris Montez, showing dancing segments from 1960s TV shows, including Batman doing the boogaloo:

And here’s the same song by Tina Turner & David Bowie, which segues into Bowie’s 1983 hit with the same name, Let’s Dance:

Rock icon Fender Stratocaster turns 60

Fender.ad.motorcycle Buddy.Holly.&.the.CricketsHard to believe, but the Fender Stratocaster, which changed pop music, now is 60. The solid-body electric guitar was built in 1954 by Leo Fender,Ā George Fullerton and Freddie Tavares at their small California shop. Buddy Holly was an early fan of Fender’s futuristic lookingĀ  guitar, which he showed off on his first album with the Crickets in 1957.

The revolutionary Fender Telecaster was first produced in 1951.

Part of Fender’s success came from the print ads devised by Bob Perine, who attended the Chouinard Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles and went on to open his own ad agency in Orange County in the 1950s. Bob devised a series of clever ads that showed young people carrying Fender guitars while surfing, skydiving, riding motorcycles and being at the beach. Bob also redesigned the Fender logo. When Bob Dylan walked out on stage in 1965 at the Newport folk music festival, carrying a 1964 Fender Strat and began playing rock music with a band — he was booed at the time — the world would never be the same again. A few years later, Jimi Hendrix lit his Stratocaster on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival.

Here’s a short history of the Fender Telecaster guitar:
