RIP Alex Chilton (1950 -2010)

One of my favorite musician has died today. Alex Chilton. He may not be the greatest Jazz-er but he has a unique strumming that catches my attention when I first heard him.

Excerpt from Wikipedi,

William Alexander "Alex" Chilton (December 28, 1950 – March 17, 2010) was an American songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer, best known as the lead singer of the Box Tops and Big Star. Chilton's early commercial sales success in the 1960s as a teen vocalist for the Box Tops was not repeated in later years with Big Star and in his indie music solo career on small labels, but he drew a loyal following in the indie and alternative music fields, and is often cited as an influence by many mainstream rock artists and bands.

My baby just cares for me, one of the songs that he cover that catches my attention.

RIP Alex Chilton

Kyu Sakamoto

For those who born around eighties, surely remember a song called Sukiyaki popularized by a group of singers called 4PM when we were teenagers. But do you know about the actual singer who sang that song?

He is Kyu Sakamoto.

The real title for the song is "Ue o muite arukō". Here is the original video clip that I found from Youtube.com.

He will be remembered by millions... The Japanese Elvis Presley...

Changing Blog name

As for my 3rd anniversary of blog writing, I'm considering to put out another blog apart from my main blog. So here we are, Crappy Blogger on the loose.

This blog will be mainly on everyday things that happen and who know, I will post up anything good.  I know this blog are really worth your time.

Let me re-introduce myself again. I'm just an ordinary guy who have a family blessed with a little boy. I'm Beatles obsess and don't be surprise because we named our boy Sean Taro. :P Love Japanese culture so much (blame it to the TV). Even I'm typing this away, I'm listening to Late Kyu Sakamoto songs.

So tune in and drop in occasionally.
