God Bless You Don Ho

1930 - 2007

The Story from the AP, because i could find a clear video from you Tube.

By JAYMES SONG, Associated Press Writer

HONOLULU - Legendary crooner Don Ho, who entertained tourists for decades wearing raspberry-tinted sunglasses and singing the catchy signature tune "Tiny Bubbles," has died. He was 76.

He died Saturday morning of heart failure, publicist Donna Jung said.

Ho had suffered with heart problems for the past several years, and had a pacemaker installed last fall. In 2005, he underwent an experimental stem cell procedure on his ailing heart in Thailand.

Ho entertained Hollywood's biggest stars and thousands of tourists for four decades. For many, no trip to Hawaii was complete without seeing his Waikiki show — a mix of songs, jokes, double entendres, Hawaii history and audience participation.

Shows usually started and ended with the same song, "Tiny Bubbles." Ho mostly hummed the song's swaying melody as the audience enthusiastically took over the familiar lyrics: "Tiny bubbles/in the wine/make me happy/make me feel fine."

"I hate that song," he often joked to the crowd. He said he performed it twice because "people my age can't remember if we did it or not."

The son of bar owners, Ho broke into the Waikiki entertainment scene in the early 1960s and, except for short periods, never left. Few artists are more associated with one place.

"Hawaii is my partner," Ho told The Associated Press in 2004.

Donald Tai Loy Ho, who was Hawaiian, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and German, was born Aug. 13, 1930, in Honolulu and grew up in the then-rural countryside of Kaneohe.

In high school, he was a star football player and worked for a brief time in a pineapple cannery. After graduating in 1949, he attended Springfield College in Massachusetts on an athletic scholarship. He grew homesick, returned to the islands and ended up graduating from the University of Hawaii in 1953 with a degree in sociology.

Inspired by the U.S. military planes flying in and out of Hawaii during World War II, Ho joined the Air Force. As the Korean War wound down, he piloted transport planes between Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu and Tokyo.

When he returned home and took over his parents' struggling neighborhood bar, Honey's, he put together a band and started performing at his father's request.

"I had no intention of being an entertainer," Ho said. "I just played songs I liked from the radio, and pretty soon that place was jammed. Every weekend there would be lines down the street."

Honey's became a happening place on Oahu, with other Hawaiian musicians stopping in for jam sessions. Ho began to play at various spots in Hawaii, then had a breakout year in 1966, when appearances at the Coconut Grove in Hollywood helped him build a mainland following, and the release of "Tiny Bubbles" gave him his greatest recording success.

Soon he was packing places such as the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Stars such as Lucille Ball, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra were known to be in the audience for Ho's shows.

Ho also became a television star, and hosted the "The Don Ho Show" on ABC from 1976-77. One of Ho's most memorable TV appearances was a 1972 cameo on an episode of "The Brady Bunch."

"I've had too much fun all these years," he said in the 2004 interview. "I feel real guilty about it."

Gov. Linda Lingle said Ho created a legacy that will inspire future generations of musicians in Hawaii.

"Hawaii has lost a true island treasure," she said. "He laid the foundation for the international prominence Hawaii's music industry enjoys today."

Besides "Tiny Bubbles," his other well-known songs include "I'll Remember You," "With All My Love," and the "Hawaiian Wedding Song."

In the final years of his life, Ho's heart problems couldn't keep him away from the stage. He was back performing at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel on a limited schedule less than two months after his heart procedure in Thailand. His final performance was Thursday, Jung said.

The Situation

When a group of American soldiers throw an Iraqi boy off a bridge in Samarra, the incident sets off a chain of events that exposes the deep rifts among the Iraqis in Samarra--and results in yet another cycle of violence between the insurgents and the corrupt Iraqi police. Anna is an American journalist who decides to write a story about the assassination of an Iraqi leader whom she admires. At the same time, she is pulling away from a relationship with Dan, an American intelligence official, who thinks the war can be won with hearts and minds; and is moving towards a courtship with Zaid, a young Iraqi photographer who shows her that there are people, rather than sides, in the conflict. As she tries to make sense of the half-truths of Iraq, she finds herself in the middle of a love triangle, and in the midst of a dangerous situation, set against a thick web of alliances, agendas, and reverses.

Inland Empire

A blonde actress is preparing for her biggest role yet, but when she finds herself falling for her co-star, she realizes that her life is beginning to mimic the fictional film that they're shooting. Adding to her confusion is the revelation that the current film is a remake of a doomed Polish production, 47, which was never finished due to an unspeakable tragedy. And that's only the beginning. Soon, a seemingly endless onslaught of indescribably bizarre situations flashes across the screen: a sitcom featuring humans in bunny suits, a parallel story set in a wintry Poland, a houseful of dancing streetwalkers, screwdrivers in stomachs, menacing Polish carnies, and much, much more

BAMAKO

In the courtyard of a communal dwelling in Mali, a remarkable tribunal is convened: The people of Africa have placed on trial the International Monetary Fund and other international institutions, alleging that their practices have contributed to the continent’s devastation. This spellbinding, thought provoking, and richly entertaining work of “what if” fiction has more relevance and immediacy than many documentaries. The vigorous, necessary debates depicted in Bamako – centering on the causes of underdevelopment and the ways in which blame for it is routinely shifted around–are sure to spark equally heated discussions among those who see it. Featuring a cameo appearance by the film’s co-producer, Danny Glover

The Indie News Round Up

It Tuesday April 10

and this a short indie news round up with story from spin.com

Radiohead Offer Video Montage

Decisive Brit five-piece leak Vapour Brothers-produced studio footage.

Thom Yorke and co., hard at work recording the follow up to 2003's Hail to the Thief in the oft-windy English countryside, seem to get a kick out of perplexing web posts. The latest example from the brainy Oxford-bred outfit is a video medley of the band in the studio recording tunes potentially set for inclusion on new album -- hopefully dropping sometime this year -- alongside other film blips, bleeps, and random mish-mash.

Radiohead.com/deadairspace, the band's bulletin board for politico-rambles and album updates, provides a link in the form of a statement: "This is what happens when you spend too long listening to the same thing over and over again until you just can't tell anymore and you have to do something else instead." After the jump, the video -- produced by the Vapour Brothers, the same team behind Kid A video items -- pops up, providing footage of Yorke plucking a guitar, behind the organ, mixing the turntables, and beside a bonfire, while the other merry chaps operate alien-like instruments (Jonny Greenwood), toweringly sway with guitar in hand (Ed O'Brien), and kick out what many speculate to be new tunes from the forthcoming album. And if so, it appears we may be in for a treat.

They Might Be Giants Teach 'the 123s'

Geek rock duo prep release of Here Come the 123s, the band's second educational children's DVD.

John Linnell and John Flansburgh may subscribe to the moniker They Might Be Giants, but they're definitely not above a stringent work regiment. In addition to wrapping up recording for The Else, the band's latest rock effort slated for release this summer, and mapping a preceding tour, the duo have now revealed their return to the realm of youngster rock with Here Come the 123s, a DVD sequel to Disney's 2005 release Here Come the ABCs, out this August, Billboard.com reports. With over an hour of original music and videos dictating, you guessed it, numeric fundamentals, Here Come the 123s will have aging rockers brushing up on their numerals alongside youngsters.

"It is inspired by Sesame Street," John Flansburgh told Billboard.com. "The attitude we took to the 'ABCs' project is the same we took with this one, which is about numbers -- kids are going to learn this stuff anyway."

In what little additional spare time afforded, TMBG have been penning material for Coraline, an animated film based on an eerie science fiction novel by Neil Gaiman. "We're having trouble being as creepy as we need to be," Flansburgh told Billboard.com. Information regarding the release of the film or soundtrack has yet to be announced.

Pumpkins, Police, Kanye Set for Gore's Gala

AFI, Fall Out Boy, and Akon also slated for stateside installment of Live Earth, July 7 at New Jersey's Giants Stadium.

Officials for Live Earth, the seven continent, 24-hour live concert organized by former Vice President Al Gore to draw world attention to global warming, have confirmed headlining acts for the U.S. installment, citing the Smashing Pumpkins, the Police, and Fall Boy, among others, as performing acts taking the stage July 7 at New Jersey's Giants Stadium. Additional performers include: AFI, Akon, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Kayne West, Kelly Clarkson, KT Tunstall, Ludacris, Melissa Etheridge, Rihanna, and Roger Waters. Tickets for the U.S. performance -- the concluding, seventh Live Earth gig -- will go on sale Monday, April 16 at 10 A.M. EST via livenation.com and Ticketmaster.

"Capping Live Earth with a blockbuster show like this will ensure we meet our challenge of building a mass audience to combat global warming," Live Earth Founder and Executive Producer Kevin Wall said in a statement. "Live Earth will be a monumental event both in terms of entertainment and in turning the tide against global warming."

In addition, earlier today Live Earth also announced the lineup for the London concert leg, naming artists like the Beastie Boys, Madonna, Bloc Party, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chill Peppers, Razorlight, and Snow Patrol as performing acts hitting the stage at Wembley Stadium.

THIS IS A CALL


as you parable know on this blog sight that i don't cover that karaoke contest called American Idol for obesed reason [expect for last season finalist the lovely Katharine McPhee]

it look like everybody is like this can you cover this contest it making the fans who like real music puke so bad it not even funny

for the last five season it is make music every where seem lame as it make it more important then all the over hype boys bands they push in the late 90's and early 2000.

the first couple of season was O.K. but the last few season have been lame big time with there show made conserve from pick bad singer for the audition show, to contestant past arrest records to loopy judges and more problem i can go on and on and on it would take all day to type
but we may found a answer and that answer is in a kid From nearby Seattle called

Sanjaya

now if you have not been follow in America Idol, the big story this season is a kid who auditioned for the show in Seattle, Washington with his sister to be on the show and since then he been on the show dispute his singing begin way, way off big time and since then everybody who hated the show including on radio jock name Howard Stern who don't like the show anyway, he told his listener to vote the worst singer as the American idol.

i did not follow at the beginning but since the media have nothing to talk about and since Sanjaya have gone this far to make the top eight everybody behind idol is now scared that idol credibility will be ruin if the worst singer win the show.

so we are happy to help, So "THIS IS A CALL" to all of culture city let the indie music scene no matter where you are either in my home base in Detroit or in the Midwest or anywhere who like indie music but cant stand America Idol like i do let vote Sanjaya[the worst singer in the completion] the America idol.

Just watch the show this Tuesday at 8 pm

OK you don't have to watch the show but there other thing on the dial like Detroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles on FSN Detroit or Countdown With Keith Olbermann on MSNBC or According to Jim on ABC all you have to do is vote Sanjaya by using the toll free number next to his name or if you are out you can text message your vote for Sanjaya now i can tell you to vote one time will be O.K., but No as they say Once Is Never Enough keep on voting over and over and over during the two hour time frame to keep Sanjaya on idol and to vote the worst as America Idol and send a message the we don't like your idol crap any more.

And One more thing if you don't watch Idol i put all the info on this blog sight after Idol with Sanjaya toll free Number and text Number until i come home to pull it down.

And even one more thing
