The Vinyl Countdown # 490
John Lennon, Watching The Wheels [Single] (1981) The best solo song by John Lennon – well, up there anyway, my personal favourite. A song I’ve always loved, one I link to trying to process his death at a very young age, at knowing that it meant something, one I link to understanding him as something […]Archive

The Claypool Lennon Delirium: Monolith of Phobos
The Claypool Lennon Delirium Monolith of Phobos ATO Records There is, in the end, nothing at all surprising about this collaboration between Primus’ Les Claypool and John and Yoko’s son, Sean. It sounds like the best bits of the music they’re known for separately. When a track gets too Primus-y, as on Captain Lariat, one […]Archive

Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band: Take Me To The Land Of Hell
Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band Take Me To The Land Of Hell Chimera Music Her heart is dancing and her mind is bouncing. She’s 80 – but it’s been that way for her entire artistic life, she even says so – literally using those words – on Bad Dancer, one of the 13 excellent tracks […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1574
John Lennon/Yoko Ono, Double Fantasy (1980) I gave away my dad’s copy of this album – so had to buy another copy some years down the track. But this album was a staple growing up. The rule was that you skipped the tracks featuring Yoko Ono (far easier once the CD player came along). And […]Archive
