John Lennon : I'm Losing You Yoko Ono : Kiss Kiss Kiss [ purchase ] Double Fantasy, released in 1980 just a few weeks before John Lennon was shot, was a concept album that aimed to be a 50-50 combination of Lennon's and Yoko Ono's music. 7 of the 14 tracks on the album were written by each of them.

Aujourd'hui, je suis d'humeur Sixties . Nostalgique d'une période de contre culture (oui oui j'ai 60 ans) où l'oeuvre artistique était la forme brute d'une liberté désirée. Le remède aux maux et tourments d'un siècle de consumérisme. Bwef. Rendons donc homage à une figure de ce mouvement hippie, Mr.John Lennon , à travers le morceau éponyme d'un tout jeune producteur parisien, j'ai nommé Akeda . Découvert grâce à mon confrère David. Je m'empresse donc de vous diffusé ce nom qui sera très certainement synonyme de réussite artistique. Il nous suffit de [...]
Thirty one years ago, I was seeking out music for - really - the first time. Sure, there had previously been songs here and there that had captured my attention and a few 45s that I'd prodded the parents to purchase, but I would have had barely enough material to compile a desert island list. Weeks earlier, on New Year's Day, I had, inexplicably turned on the radio and tuned in to Q102, a Top 40 station from Cincinnati that was popular with my junior high classmates. I didn't listen to the radio much, if [...]

Today's Live Performance, again from the Madison Square Garden in New York City, but from 1972 this time around, on the 30th August 1972. A by now legendary performance by John Lennon with Yoko Ono and the band Elephant's Memory. The concerts documented on Live in New York City were Lennon's only rehearsed and full-length live performances in his solo career, and his first – and last – formal, full-fledged live concerts since the Beatles retired from the road in 1966. Lennon never mounted a tour during his post-Beatles career. The concerts also marked the [...]
The Beatles' second 7" single was released 49 years ago this week. This is the story of its creation and recording.

36 years dead this week, Mal Evans (Mr. Fixit) can be considered the Fifth Beatle.
Along with Drake , the Goodie Mob rap legend/meme-pop king Cee Lo Green was one of the artists who performed for cameras and drunk be-novelty-spectacled tourists in Times Square on New Years Eve. And during his segment, Cee Lo managed to piss off a whole lot of people by significantly tweaking a line during his cover of John Lennon's "Imagine." Rather than singing the original lyric "and no religion too," the former choirboy sang "all religion is true." And as Billboard points out , plenty of Lennon fans on Twitter were not happy [...]

Lennon fans outraged after Green's performance on Carson Daly's New Year's Eve show.
the CEE-LO GREEN changes a few words to the JOHN LENNON's IMAGINE and hell has broken lose on New Years Day. the 'horror' happened on NBC's New Year's Eve show shortly before the ball dropped in Times Square, when the CEE-LO was singing that IMAGINE, and changed the lyrics from "Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too" to "Nothing to kill or die for, And all religion's true." the change didn't go unnoticed, and to preempt criticism, he soon tweeted, "Yo I meant no disrespect by [...]

... & what have you done ? . . happy christmas (war is over) // john & yoko x

In the spirit of the winter season, whether your celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa or any other holiday I may have forgotten about, chances are that over the past month you've heard your fair share of traditional Christmas music. While some people might eat that stuff up as they prepare for the holidays, we here at the TBT find it hard to cope with sometimes in the wake of all good music holiday alternatives that do exist, but seem to go unnoticed in mainstream media. That being said, it is my honor to bring you our [...]

REPOST from 2008 (with slight updating): - I remember when the Apollo 8 astronauts went into space, right before Christmas in 1968. That was a rough year - Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy were shot, Vietnam was a bloody stain on the other side of the world. Violence boiled over into the streets. As Christmas week opened, three men in a little metal capsule hurtled through space toward the moon. The astronauts of Apollo 8 were the first humans to reach the orbit of another planetary body. As they streaked across the dark side of the [...]

The holiday season is upon us (also basketball season, finally). But mostly, it's the season of ugly sweaters, drunk uncles, and, if you're a teenager, enough gift cards to paper your walls because nobody knows what to get you. We here at The Wild Honey Pie are better at Christmas shopping than your great Aunt Mildred, though. We put together a holiday playlist full of classics and indie favorites that will keep your earbuds warm when the weather outside starts to get frightful. There's no better soundtrack to accompany the decking of halls, the nogging of eggs, [...]

Fridays 'round these parts typically see gobs of remixes. Today didn't seem right posting a "Friday Remixes," partly due to the fact that this entire weekend most people will be celebrating Christmas with family, friends and loved ones. I plan on doing the bulk of my shopping today and my procrastinating has taken me as far out as possible. No matter how hard I try to fight it every year, I fall into the same trap. Saturday will be full of football from morning till nighttime. I'm in the championship game of my fantasy league, so I'll be [...]

Forty years ago, John Lennon and Yoko Ono released their Christmas song, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)." It was originally a protest song but has now become a holiday classic. Ono is celebrating the anniversary with a website where you can download posters like the one above, and spread the message of peace this holiday season.
