Classic Album: Plastic Ono Band John Lennon - DVD Release Date: April 29th
This DVD release is the latest addition to the ‘Classic Albums’ series that documents the making of important pop and rock albums.
This is John Lennon’s first solo album (from the studio) after leaving The Beatles. It was heavily influenced by John and Yoko’s primal scream therapy at the time. This DVD includes interviews of Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr and Klaus Voorman. The album was originally released in late 1970, with Ringo on drums and Klaus on bass.

Do you remember John Lennon’s “lost weekend?” Most fans don’t. That so called “lost weekend” lasted 18 months, from 1973 to 1975, when Lennon split from Yoko in New York and headed to L.A.
Ono hooked John up with a former personal assistant by the name of May Pang, who has just released a book of personal photos from that lost weekend era. This is actually her second book, which is really just a collection of photos.
It’s interesting to note that Cynthia and Julian Lennon have endorsed the book, called Instamatic Karma. I personally love the name; it’s a great play on words. And of course, the book has created a big buzz. But what I really like about this time period of John’s life is that he really got back into his music, and also collaborated with many other artists too.
Not only did he record three hit albums; Mind Games, Rock n’ Roll, and Walls and Bridges, but Lennon also recorded and worked with David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, Mick Jagger, and Ringo Starr. He also performed with Elton John in 1974, in what I believe may be his last concert performance.

From Birch Book and In Gowan Ring to Natalie Portman in 108 words. In Gowan Ring and Birch Book luckily have the same singer/songwriter writing the music and playing the same/similiar hand made guitars… Each band incorporates my favorite elements of folk music; wafting vocals, mellow guitar plucks, yummy accompaniment, gentle-soothing lyrics, 60’s style dress, and an overall free flowing sound — I’m not lying or over exaggerating when I compare them to Nick Drake or Marc Bolan acoustic. A few years ago I saw them play a house show with Nick Castro

Maar de opbrengst werd geschat op 100.000 euro. Een deel van de foto’s toont het kersverse echtpaar in het Hilton hotel in Amsterdam

O filme, chamado “All Together Now” (”Todos Juntos Agora”, na tradução livre), mostra os cinco reunidos para remixar
Sitting in its Nowhere Land While The Dakota has become notorious as the place where John Lennon was murdered, the origin of its name may be a lot more obscure. When it was built at 72nd Street and Central Park West in 1884, anyone who was anyone lived below 59th Street. Thus, the 65-apartment future landmark was mocked at first. Legend has it that when one skeptic suggested the building might as well have been constructed in Dakota territory, a name was born.

(Monday) Muse: Yoko Ono Pt. 1 Say what you will, but Ono is one of my personal icons. The gal’s got style. Style and moxy. She took it on the chin for years, continuing to make art despite being stamped with a public persona that garnered contempt and spiteful humor from the general public on the best days. And, she did it all with an ever evolving personal style that ranged from her black/white monochromatic style of the 60s (below) to the military hot pants and bursting bust lines of the feminist early 70

BANK JOB Nationale Sicherheit. Wem beim Titel spontan keine zweideutige Variante einfällt, der hat immer noch eine reelle Chance, sie alternativ im Foyer des Filmtheaters oder an der Kasse vor und hinter sich aufzuschnappen. Dergestalt gut vorbereitet, erwischen einen die ersten Bilder dann auch schon mit der richtigen Erwartungshaltung. „Get it on“ empfiehlt Marc Bolan aus dem Off, und die Strandschönheiten auf der Leinwand lassen sich das nicht zweimal sagen. Doch der Blick durchs Fenster zeigt nich
