Artist: John Lennon

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 .

There are most likely many happy people in America this morning, and a lot of disgruntled, disappointed ones. By far, most people seem to be simply relieved it's over. It's been a nasty and brutal year leading up to Election Day, so nasty you'd think the Civil War had started up again. Hell, even the band The Civil Wars broke up. That's how divided everyone is. So it's time to move on. Congratulations to President Obama and Mr. Romney for getting their respective messages out to so many people - let's hope we can find some [...]

Tal parece que los artículos coleccionables de los Beatles nunca se terminarán y los fanáticos de esta agrupación siempre estarán dispuestos a pagar cantidades ridículas de dinero por objetos de interés vinculados al cuarteto. Un claro ejemplo es la próxima subasta de una carta de John Lennon -escrita el 29 de septiembre de 1971- dirigida al mismísimo Eric Clapton , donde Lennon invita al guitarrista a colaborar musicalmente: “Eric, sé que puedo obtener algo bueno, de hecho, algo más grande de lo que hasta ahora ha sido evidente en [...]

John tried his best to see through the haze of campaign lies... Well, it's Election Day here in the U.S., in case you've been living in a cave the last 12 months or so. And all I can say is thank goodness, let's get this over with. I'm pretty tired of hearing the negativity, and lies masquerading as debating points. Whoever wins, you might say we'll get what we deserve. But nobody put the feeling of an election season into better perspective than John Lennon, 40 years ago , on [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Getty Images Attention, artists: If Bruce Springsteen ever offers to write a song for you, don't get too excited -- especially if it winds up being a really good one. Because while the Boss has written several songs for other performers, he's been known to both giveth and taketh away. He's not the only one to flip-flop on song destinations. Here are several hit songs that were intended [...]

Though his solo career got off to a slow start, Ringo Starr actually became one of the Beatles' most successful singles artists during the early 1970s. Among his eight chart hits during the first half of the decade is the #1, "Photograph."

Filed under: News Dave M. Benett, Getty Images It's been over 40 years since the Beatles broke up, and people are still pretty pissed at Yoko Ono for allegedly causing the group to split. Now, according to the BBC , Paul McCartney is telling fans to leave Yoko alone. In an interview with famed TV newsman David Frost that will be broadcast next month, Sir Paul said, "She certainly [...]

"Watching the Wheels" - John Lennon (1981) "dreaming my life away..."

John visited Elton at the Caribou studio in Colorado during the recording of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and played guitar and sang background vocals during the recording. Here is a little mini-documentary about John performing at Elton's Madison Square Garden performance on Thanksgiving night 1974.  You really need to watch it...that appearance ended up being John's last performance in public.  Very interesting rock history stuff.  Enjoy!

And that's just a partial list. [...]

It seems kind of funny talking about John Lennon in terms of million-selling singles, given is stature beyond mere record sales. But, if we can give props to the Lemon Pipers, we can certainly find time to spin one of Johnny's three gold singles.

Filed under: News Liverpoollove.org The Beatles sang about wanting to hold your hand, but somebody last week at the Museum of Liverpool obviously wanted to hold far more than that. NME reports a piece of art entitled "The Beatles in America" and showing the (artistically rendered) penises of the Fab Four -- John Lennon , Paul McCartney , George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- was defaced [...]

Jarvis reviews the Hunter Davis collection of John Lennon's letters for Guardian Review. In the course of it, he explains why Britpop trying to be The Beatles was a bad idea, and worries about the way everything any Beatle touches becomes an artefact: To be fair to Davies, he does admit in his introduction that he has "rather expanded the definition of the word 'letter'". This still does not quite prepare the reader for gems such as "Degs, No Fucking George, Yer Cunt, Jack" (letter 238: Memo to Derek) or "Fred, Lights in kitchen (bulbs), Honey [...]

In celebration of what would have been his 72nd birthday, we take a look at the Lennon singles that American audiences sent up the charts. This Tuesday marks the 72nd anniversary of the birth of one of the most important figures in popular music. John Lennon helped make the Beatles the world's most successful music group, but also he made quite an impact in a solo career that tragically spanned only two decades. While everyone can easily name seven John Lennon songs, a list of his singles that did the best on US charts might surprise you. For instance, [...]

Today, John Lennon would have turned 72 years old. The impact of John and The Beatles is unparalleled, but the story of John Lennon is more than that of a Beatle. John didn't settle into the position of a people-pleaser. As he was elevated to a level that few entertainers have ever been to, he kept a defiance about him—this manifested itself in his music, in his actions, and in his words. He was never afraid to speak his mind, and while it sometimes got him in trouble, it also led to some pieces of wisdom that can [...]
