Yoko Ono Plans To Write A John Lennon Memoir
During a web chat with her fans, Yoko Ono alluded to her plans to write a memoir about her life with John Lennon. Before now, she had been reluctant to release such intimate details about their life together to avoid hurting others that were involved as well such as Cynthia & Juilian Lennon (his first wife and son). Yoko is turning 77 next month so probably figures she might as well share all the history she had with John that so many fans have been anticipating for years. Questions have been asked, I assume it’s now time for those questions to be answered. Ono stated that, her “next book will be written in the next five years.” So, definitely look out for it and you know that I will write a review it when it releases as well! =D

Yeah, seems like a good month for music. I’m especially looking forward to Motion City Soundtrack and Never Shout Never’s new albums.
And then there are those that I’m not looking forward to at all. Hence: ….will not be purchasing.
Katharine McPhee: Unbroken (She’s still making music??!??)

Heidi Montag: Superficial (OMG, seriously… Heidi has NO musical ability what-so-ever!! She definitely needs to stick to “reality acting”.

100 Most Shocking Music Moments
VH1 is premiering a special tonight on the 100 Most Shocking Music Moments in history at 9:00pm et/pt. The show is to cover all things from Britney Spears shaving her head to Michael Jackson’s untimely death. I find it kind of odd that VH1 has a wrestler (Chris Jericho) hosting the show who is obviuously not a musician himself or has any background in music. Although, if you are a music lover and enjoy following all things musical as do I, I’d recommend tuning in and re-living those outrageous moments all over again before this decade is over… and you only have 3 days left! And FYI: this is part one of a five part series that will be aired over the next couple of weeks I believe.
DJ Hero Review
Two days ago for Christmas, I bought my boyfriend the new DJ Hero Play Station 3 bundle set. Him being a DJ himself, it was on his Christmas list. We popped it in the PS3 and had it set up in no time. The assembly is really simple and the instructions are easy to ready with step by step pictures. So, I started playing around with it a bit and started going through the tutorial, learning how to play the thing. At first, it seems like a version of guitar hero but as you play through the tutorial, y0u realize there is a lot more to the game than pressing the chord buttons. Each “set list” that you play through unlocks other venues and music that you can play if you recieve a score high enough to pass the satisfaction of “DJ Flash” (the narrator of the game). We even turned the game on and took turns playing and pretty much it provided music for the people we had over. I LOVE the game and would definitely recommend it to any person that likes dance, electronica, or mixes. I can’t wait to open some more fun stuff by reaching different levels. It seems like you can play this game for a long while without getting bored. There’s just so much more waiting for me experience… and trust me I’ll write another review once I achieve more.
