Artist: John Lennon

Humberto Leon se dio a la tarea de entrevistar a Yoko Ono celebrando la línea  YOKO ONO Fashions for Men 1969-2012 , y por fortuna la plática se pone interesante cuando incluye preguntas sobre lo que pensaba John Lennon de sus dibujos y los primeros recuerdos de Ono respecto al mundo de la moda. Con " Oh Yoko " de fondo es como Andinh Ha nos presenta esta entrevista en colaboración con Opening Ceremony.

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Movies , I Fought the Law , Music Appreciation Hulton Archive In December 1970 John Lennon released a song called "God" with the closing line "The dream is over." Lennon's song was outwardly about religion, but it could just as well have been applied to the principles of peace and love, which were basically stabbed to death a year earlier at a Rolling [...]

Dallas, Texas' resident pop orchestra The Polyphonic Spree is always good for holiday cheer, from the showcase they're bringing to The Troc on December 14 to their excellent seasonal covers from over the years. Check out the most recent one, premiered today on NPR Music - a rendition of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by ... Continue reading �

Filed under: Spinner Says Getty Images | Hulton Archive "I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically -- any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women ... I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster." [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Frank Micelotta, Getty Right now's probably a good time to revisit Tina Turner . She's probably best remembered to anyone under 50 as a giant-haired ballad singer from the '80s, but Tina used to be badass . After all, it's not everyone who can say they duetted with Mick Jagger and were in The Who 's movie Tommy . [...]

Filed under: News Getty, Opening Ceremony Yoko Ono has always aired on the side of weird. Over the years, her art installations and music have garnered praise as well as genuinely perplexed looks. But nothing says "out there" like the artist's newest fashion line " Yoko Ono Fashions for Men 1969-2012 ." Thirty brand new looks from Ono's brain are now available to wear out in public. If you are actually brave enough to [...]

David and Stephen Dewaele (aka The Flying Dewaele Brothers aka 2manydjs aka Soulwax) made the ultimate tribute to their biggest music hero--David Bowie. The brothers worked on an hour long mix with “all things Bowie, whether that is original songs, covers, backing vocals, production work or reworks” and called their friend and director Wim Reygaert to visualise their mix and David Bowie’s spectacular career. Wim Reygaert had also directed Radio Soulwax’s film “Into the Vortex” before.

Before making a name for themselves and becoming the world's most influential and important rock band, believe it or not, the Beatles were just like any other musical band out there trying to land their music to the right ears. After many... [[ This is a content summary only. Click on the titles for full stories... ]]

This happened at the Ace Hotel the other night, the bubbles (?) in my coffee formed an uncanny resemblance to John Lennon / Jesus . Perhaps the Ramones frontman Joey Ramone? Who knows. Either way, pretty crazy, huh?

Always loved the 3-D look of this album cover when I was a kid. (Sorry, no funny caption today. What's that? You never noticed they were funny? Great.) By most accounts, Paul Simon is not that nice of a guy. I was disappointed to discover this many years ago, as I'd always admired his music, but I have it from a reliable source (among others) - my late grandfather, who played violin as a session musician on a couple of Simon's albums. Simon treated his session musicians with little respect - as opposed [...]

When did the Monkees become the musical equivalent of Shakespeare? Apparently, at some point, when I wasn't looking or listening, an act that was essentially a 1960s boy band, complete with its own television series, became as worthy of reverence as the Beatles. The other day my friend Lori updated her status on Facebook thusly: "Daydream Believer by the Monkees just came on, and I could burst into tears. Poor Davy Jones. What a beautiful song." My comment: "Anne Murray's version of it is BOSS!" Just in case [...]

Filed under: News AP Photo, Akira Suemori LONDON (AP) - It's a mystery tour , but it's hardly magical. More than nine miles (14 kilometers) from the striped crosswalk made famous by the Beatles album " Abbey Road ," this drab transit station in east London keeps drawing confused fans of the Fab Four into unwanted jaunts through a gritty, industrial area just south of London's Olympic Stadium.

I'm 28 years old, so I've been driving on my own for over a decade now, but I can still remember seeing my father's fingers tap on the dashboard of his car. For most of his youth, he spent his time behind a piano or organ, playing in a circuit of hip New York bands throughout the '60s. Some toured with Mitch Ryder, The Animals, and Paul Butterfield; others just jammed in the garage for fun. Every time I bring this era up to him, he just lights up, and he's always quick to discuss his Sgt. Peppers [...]

Paul McCartney's stage filled the outfield of Minute Maid Park in Houston. Paul McCartney’s recent set of concerts on his current “On The Run” tour are epic, full of breathtaking  singing and playing on faithful renditions of some of the greatest songs in the rock and roll canon. His show last night (11/14) at Houston’s Minute Maid Park was exactly that. But there’s also a sense – certainly fleeting – of wistfulness and summing up of a brilliant, unparalleled career belonging to one of the greatest entertainers of all time. At one point of [...]

Chris Thornley  es un artista de Manchester que trabaja bajo el seudónimo de  Raid71  y quien se dio a la tarea de crear una  serie de portadas de libros  en las que usa letras de canciones de The Smiths , todo con el clásico y muy particular estilo de los  libros viejos de Penguin . Lo mejor del asunto es que hay prints a la venta en  la tienda en línea de Hunting Bears . En la tienda también podrán encontrar posters inspirados en Beck, Radiohead, John Lennon, R.E.M, Nirvana, David Bowie y Rolling Stones.

Filed under: News AP Photo, Alastair Grant LONDON (AP) - Sotheby's says an original piece of artwork from the Beatles ' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album has fetched 55,250 pounds ($87,720) at an auction . The auction house said the original 1967 collage for the insert to the album sold to a bidder in London on Tuesday.

Weezer copied this album cover - right down to having the double "ee" in their band name! Scandalous! The Feelies (1980) The Beatles (1968) I guess this is a partial John Lennon week on Reselect, by something like coincidence. I decided on this pair of songs for Cover Friday this morning, and then realized that it's the second John Lennon song in a row. But that's fine . . . John certainly deserves any number of songs to be featured here. And [...]

A new iOS-exclusive app based on Hunter Davies'  The John Lennon Letters will be made available later this month. The app will feature dozens of private annotated letters and postcards from the Beatles' frontman, audio readings from actor Christopher Eccleston, a Beatles soundtrack, and a forward from Yoko Ono. The app, which allows readers to tweet excerpts from almost any point, should be interesting for longtime fans, but also raises the question of privacy since Lennon never intended for these to be public, especially not in a digital app format.

As a great man once said, this is "trippy, mayne." It's nice that a consensus has built around Tame Impala . Who wouldn't want to hear the halfway point between Dungen and the Lennon songs from Revolver? Related: check this Tame Impala live review from POTW potentate, Jonah Bromwich .
