Christmas Gifts For The Music Lover
Trying to figure out the perfect holiday gift for the music lover in your family? Here are some ideas we found that are sure to please:
Audio Video Table by Versatables. At less than $600, the Audio Video Table, available online, is guaranteed to make any music lover's jaw drop. This "desk" designed to hold multiple computer monitors, speakers, CPUs, and even a full-length keyboard (or other sound editing system) allows the artist to turn his/her room into a sound mixing studio. Additional components can be added to customize the perfect gift. Shipping is free and Versa Products, Inc. offers a lifetime guarantee on every product it sells.
Guitar Center Gift Certificate. If you love music, you love Guitar Center. One of the country's largest musical instrument chains, the store offers instruments, clothing, décor, and more. Ordering online is safe and easy, as with Versa Products' site as well, and Guitar Center offers free shipping on orders of $49 or more.
Concert Tickets. Check out Ticketmaster's website for the latest concerts coming to a venue near you. Tickets and a limo ride to and from the concert is something anyone will enjoy, particularly a music fan. For a fun way to present your gift, present them in an album frame with colorful holiday wrapping paper placed behind the tickets. The frame makes a great gift for collectible album covers after the concert is over. Another fun presentation idea is to purchase a calendar of the recipient's favorite band and mark the concert date inside. Tape the tickets on the date and give him/her something to hang up and look forward to.
Guitar Hero on Xbox. Guitar Hero III made its debut in time for the holidays and is bound to be a popular gift this year. The new cordless guitars make the game even more enjoyable and a whole new set of popular songs will keep your music fan entertained either by him/herself or with friends.
An Apple iPod. Most people have an MP3 player but the latest Apple iPod's can't be beat. They keep getting smaller, sleeker, and considerably more powerful when it comes to downloadable disk space. Several places now sell all kinds of fun accessories for the iPod as well, including speakers and docking stations.
Vintage Concert Shirts. You may not have the easiest time finding these, but amazon and ebay are great places to start. And don't limit your search to just t-shirts. Other memorabilia from famous singers and musicians are available. My sister bought her husband a pair of Dean Martin's cuff links (my brother-in-law is a huge Dean Martin fan), and it was his favorite gift of the season.
Funky CD holder from CD Rack Em. It doesn't have to be funky. With a variety of styles from traditional wooden holders to wavy metal ones, CD Rack Em has a CD holder that will fit the recipient's style regardless of what that style is. Even with MP3s on the rise, true music fans still have a lot of CDs and home made mixed CDs lying around. Why not display them in a way that's aesthetic and functional?

Who sings the Chrysler 300 ad, with Dean Martin, singing "Sway Me"?
I recognized Dean Martin's voice but the other male voice is not familiar to me. Who is it and why have they used a second voice - it takes away from the smoothness of Martin's voice.
You're right, that is Dino. Nobody else is that smooth!
Dean Martin's voice oddly mixes with the husky voice of lovely Julie London. Mix done by Matt Haines, wonderful photographer.
Matt grouses he was only paid a flat fee long ago, but hey Matt your work is in a national ad. I do agree though - getting paid would be better!
You can read about it here.

Dean Martin
The Life of James Dean
James Dean, strange you know the name before the man, indeed many film buffs I know never even seen the movies he made and many are startled on discovering that he only starred in three movies. Yet, everyone knows James Dean, his ubiquitous image charms us from all kinds of angles, you would have to live on the moon to not recognise his face, and indeed it appears that to know him is to be seduced by him. The enigma that he is though is still somewhat of a riddle, how can one man, no matter how attractive he is and no matter how impressive his duds, how can he capture the imagination of people born decades after his death who have never seen any of his movies?
The 1950s in America were an era of unprecedented growth, people were beginning to have extra cash to spend on luxuries, people were beginning to realise that they could enjoy life, it was the beginning of a lifestyle that would make America the envy of the world. This was a golden era for a America that was reeling from the deprivations of the 1930s and the horrors of the 1940s. The children of the fifties were a blessed bunch or at least they were supposed to be, that was what was preached to them. They had everything that their parents had not, times were good, children could stay in school, unbelievably some could even drive there, they had countless options, college was on the horizon and everyone was beaming. Except perhaps their parents and well, also their children, so in fact does that mean that nobody was beaming at all? Why not? Life is not that simple, the consciousness of the country would not allow everybody to move on, there existed a shared memory of the brutality and inhumanity of the Second World War and the humiliation and constant yearning of the decade before that. Those who had lived through it were not going to be overjoyed that their children had the keys of the kingdom in their back pocket. Of course there was envy involved but more importantly there was an overriding fear that addled their minds. It had been drilled into their heads that life was not supposed to be easy and so they maintained a heavy feeling of dread, drifting around like harbingers of doom. Obviously, to their children’s bright eyes and light hearts their parents were gloom merchants who refused to enjoy in the frivolity that was life, there was going to be friction, there was going to be a lot of friction. The older generations knew the dangers of the world and therefore did their utmost to maintain the most moderate course possible, anything extreme was stamped out immediately. There were still lingering dangers in the world like the Korean War, Castro’s Cuba and the Suez Crisis to ensure that they remained vigilant. Cinema was to mirror this mass paranoia, this mass holding back; the ravages of the past had taken hold, the country was scarred. Bette Davis starred as an ageing Broadway star in Joseph Mankiewicz’s All About Eve (1950), Gloria Swanson was a troubling symbol of living in a faded past in Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard (1950) and old Bogie never looked so wracked in John Huston’s The African Queen (1951). The great stars were aging, and Hollywood was up to other tricks - scaremongering the already suspicious populace with the brazenly analogous The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) or the desperate escapism that Gene Kelly was peddling in Singin’ in the Rain (1952). James Dean grew up in the midst of this overbearing conservatism, or rather existed through it as he put it, on his uncle’s farm in Fairmount, Indiana. He landed in the eye of the storm, California in 1949, studying drama in UCLA and it appeared to all intensive purposes grasping for the American Dream. And it seemed like he would gain it as he starred in a Pepsi-Cola television commercial, landed a few walk on parts in movies and got to say a few lines in Sailor Beware (1952) starring Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. On moving to New York he gained admission to America’s most prestigious acting school, the Actors Studio to study Method Acting under the legendary Lee Strasberg. The world was opening up for the young Dean, he caught the eye of Elia Kazan who wished to cast him in his adaptation of Steinbeck’s East of Eden. Kazan sent Dean to see Steinbeck, the novelist viewed him as something of an upstart, he and Kazan were sold, Dean would be perfect for the main role of Cal Trask. Indeed, the character was pure Dean - disaffected Cal railing against the stuffy conventions that attempt to bind him, exposing the unholy truths that lie beneath the charade of modern living and of course looking mighty fine and attracting all the girls. And it ain’t all straight forward, it’s muddy and confused, hard to tell exactly whether Cal is good or bad, Dean had arrived, he keeps us guessing to this day. It got him the Oscar but tragically he wouldn’t be around to receive it. The guessing game would become all the more compelling in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he played THE rebellious teenager Jim Stark. In retrospect it’s a strange portrayal, Dean like an overgrown teenager, a little man in the Edwardian style of the word. Impossible to understand just like adolescence. Shot in little over a month, the movie would change everything at the time, Dean was a megastar, no doubt. Giant (1956) was tragically to be Dean’s final movie, it’s so alluring, unnervingly offering us glimpses of an aged Dean - a washed up drunkard with busted ego, lonely and wretched. Dean was dead before the film was edited, pointedly he would not live to even see himself old on screen. The ultimate young rebel would remain forever young, and the hordes lapped it up, raising him to messianic proportions. Each year that passes, Dean becomes younger than us, trapped in teen angst forever, unattainable forever.
