Santana Butchers My Favorite Beatles Song

So apparently Santana has a new album coming out and he's following his magic formula of teaming up with a bunch of semi-annoying pop stars to handle vocal duties. The new album consists of covers of classic "guitar songs." The first single is a cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by The Beatles, featuring India Arie and Yo Yo Ma. It's my favorite Beatles song ever and well, he thoroughly ruined it.

The kicker is they went as far as to watermark the stream of the song so I can't even share that...the stream. Not an MP3 download, the stream. Sorry, they must really not want people to hear this turd. They did send this sweet image though, enjoy.

See John Lennon's Bloody Clothing (Fun With Ono)

The batshit insane widow of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, is displaying a bunch of his old crap. One of these items is a paper bag filled with the still blood soaked clothing he was wearing when he was murdered. Seriously!? This brings up a few questions:

1. Why do you still have his bloody clothes? Why would you want that around?
2. I can maybe understand keeping these BUT why didn't you, well you know, clean them?
   
3. On what planet is exploiting your dead husband's blood soaked murder clothes OK?
   

Now I know Yoko is about as fucked in the head as one can be but this is beyond bad taste. Call me old fashioned but I just don't like it.

Download Every Beatles Track For Free

Some Norwegian broadcasting company cut a deal which allows them to release every Beatles song ever as a podcast. If you understand Norwegian then you'll also dig the three minute discussion that accompanies each and every song (212 total). I guess the Norse are trying to make up for all those years of raping and pillaging.
