Today we've got our second cover of the Lennon-Ono classic, that has some direct ties to the original, as last night the impressive trio of Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples, the Harlem Gospel Choir and John and Yoko's son Sean Lennon performed the song on The Colbert Report [...]

Stephen Colbert capped off The Colbert Report' s final episode in 2012 last night with another all-star Christmas carol. Following last night's performance of “Good King Wenceslas” by Michael Stipe and “Saul” from Homeland , Colbert recruited Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples, Sean Lennon, and the Harlem Gospel Choir for a rendition of "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" by Sean's dad John and Yoko Ono.

Back in 2006, fresh off of  Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest , actor/believable pirate Johnny Depp , director Gore Verbinski, and producer Hal Willner rounded up the likes of Lou Reed, Nick Cave, and Bono for Rogue's Gallery , a collection of modernized "pirate ballads, sea songs, and chanteys."

Si su fin de semana carece de algún plan, o si encuentran una hora para ustedes mismos, a continuación comparto una lista de canciones para encerrarse [...]

Most New Yorkers have a special relationship with Madison Square Garden, but Beatles spawn Sean Lennon's connection to the "World's Greatest Arena" goes a step further. In a story recounted by Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 , when John Lennon shocked the world and Elton John by making a rare live appearance to perform with Elton at MSG on Thanksgiving Weekend in 1974 The Beatle was separated from Yoko Ono. Ono sent her husband a white gardenia backstage leading to their reconciliation and shortly thereafter to the procreation of Sean. Without that night in 1974, it's possible [...]

It's really been over five years now that we've been doing this.  Every single Tuesday for five years now.  Not to get all nostalgic on everyone, but every Tuesday for the last five years there's not a week that goes by that I don't think, "What could possibly be out this week?"   And each week we've been able to answer that and give you a whole bunch of songs to stream or download.  So let's do what we do best... This week there's a lot of stuff out there... In fact, since we've been doing the new [...]

Stereogum New band alert! Veteran musical traveler Sean Lennon has formed a new duo called Mystical Weapons with Greg Saunier, Deerhoof's mindbending tourettic drummer.
