Tonight at 7PM Pacific, the ex-Beatle performs songs from his new album “Kisses on the Bottom” (fairly awkward title) which features old standards. The event will pipe directly into the Apple TV via an iTunes stream — think I saw an event placeholder under Internet -> iTunes Live.
The Apple special event on 9/9/09 saw no mention of The Beatles on iTunes — something I predicted, partly because all the planets seemed aligned, and partly because of desire. Yes, in addition to being an Apple fanboy I also have a Beatles fanboy card lying around here somewhere.
Even if you’re not a huge Beatles fan, I think this documentary about John Lennon’s jukebox is worth seeing for a neat history of the music of the sixites.
Basically John Lennon had a jukebox that he would take around with him on tour, filled with all of his favorite music.
Yesterday, it was announced that John Lennon and his back catalog have been added to the iTunes Music Store (of course, in the case of Double Fantasy that means some of Yoko’s stuff too).
Paul McCartney has a new album out soon, Memory Almost Full. With a title like that, I fear that McCartney has gotten lazy again, and this track confirms it. He can write songs like this in his sleep.
