Best ever Carpool Karaoke this week: James Corden & Paul McCartney revisit Liverpool, going down Penny Lane, visiting the barbershop where Paul got his hair cut (referenced in the song about Penny Lane), and Paul revisits his family home, where he and John Lennon wrote their first hit, She Loves Me (Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Paul’s father, a piano player, objected to the lyrics – his dad was upset about the Americanism “Yeah,” suggesting Paul replace it with “Yes.” “No,” Paul said, quite proud of his decision now. He also explained how he co- wrote A Day in the Life using details of his life while living in that house:

Janelle Monáe and Vancouver’s Grimes have teamed up to record “PYNK,” from Monáe’s new Dirty Computer. The music video description: “PYNK is a brash celebration of creation. self love. sexuality. and pussy power! PYNK is the color that unites us all, for pink is the color found in the deepest and darkest nooks and crannies of humans everywhere… PYNK is where the future is born….”

Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes just turned 19 after a string of hits, including this one, Mercy, from his last album:

The New York Times called him ” one of the most significant and promising rising stars in pop” but thought he had lost his edge in his new recording, while praising this song:

Mendes is currently on tour but won’t play Vancouver until July 14, 2019…One of the bands to emerge from the Seattle grunge scene, The Posies, is on its 30th anniversary tour. Here’s the band’s first single in 1993, Dream All Day:

Just got an email from Posies co-founder Ken Stringfellow, who wrote: “Howdy!
Just to let you know I’ll be coming back home to Bellingham (Washington) with The Posies — this time in full band form as our 1992-4 ‘Frosting on the Beater’ lineup with Dave Fox & Mike Musburger joining Jon Auer & myself — to celebrate our 30th Anniversary as a band, at the Wild Buffalo July 6. We’ll play songs from all eras of The Posies in the ferocious, guitar driven fashion of our 1990s tours. The show is 21+ and tix are here:  https://wildbuffalo.net/event/the-posies/

Today’s music is Pray for Me by Canada’s The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar, a song written for the cool new movie Black Panther, which I recently enjoyed, especially the fabulous costumes, being an artist & fashion designer:

Call Out My Name, another new  song by The Weekend:

Sometimes I like Justine Timberlake, like this video of Say Something, which was unexpected, a down-home duo with Chris Stapleton, something I’d never seen before; and then that 60-person choir and 12 musicians:

The video was shot live in one take by La Blogothèque director Arturo Perez Jr., inside the 1893 Bradbury Building in Los Angeles, which you might recognize from the original Blade Runner movie.

Today’s music is by Paul Simon, whose Homeward Bound Farewell Tour pulls into Vancouver on May 16. Always liked this video with Chevy Chase. The song was from his 1986 album Graceland:

Simon, now 77, has a career spanning six decades, beginning in 1964 as half the duo Simon & Garfunkel, which split up in 1970 at the peak of its popularity. They released this song in 1966, which has gone through my head every time I’ve sat waiting for a train:

Today’s music is Canadian band Alvvays, who played Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom this week. The video blends the band into archival footage from Expo 67 in Montreal:

Jazz pianist Cecil Taylor died this week. Not easy listening, but his improvisation pushed the boundaries of jazz. His music was once described as Bartok in reverse:

The Angel Easter Sale – 20% off Spring 2018 collection

The imagery of Easter is confusing. Why is it about Easter bunnies and eggs? Is it about rebirth, fertility, the resurrection of Jesus?

The Ancient Egyptians believed in a primeval egg from which the sun god hatched. An alternative theory, the sun was sometimes discussed as an egg itself, laid daily by the celestial goose, Seb, the god of the earth. The Phoenix is said to have emerged from this egg.  The photo to the left is Palm Sunday in Barcelona, which I took a few years ago while visiting Desigual’s headquarters.

But back to the eggs, bunnies and rebirth. That’s the imagery that the advertising world has given us. Here are a few vintage images of the Easter Bunny and Eggs mythology:

Outside our store we often hear this refrain:

Boz Scaggs had been a member of the Steve Miller band. The song was recorded in 1969 in the now legendary Muscle Shoals studio with then 22-year-old guitarist Duane Allman, who later that year formed the Allman Brothers band. He died in a motorcycle accident in 1971.  Also in 1969, Duane recorded The Weight with Aretha Franklin. The same year, Led Zeppelin released two of its seminal Sixties albums, but the most popular song in 1969 was this confection: Sugar Sugar by The Archies….Switching musical gears, this is a Paris duo called The Blaze comprised of cousins Jonathan and Guillaume Alric, who are also filmmakers:

Jonathan explained the meaning of the song: “We all have a place we call home, and we often live far from it. ‘Territory’ tells the story about a young guy going back to his family after a long time. It was, for us, a way to show strong feelings like love, and maybe the arrogance of youth. This situation is never easy — you sometimes have to fight to feel home again, in a place you don’t belong anymore. It’s a strong feeling of joy, and contradiction.”
