Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

The Making of Double Fantasy

So you got the new "Double Fantasy Stripped Down" and you're really into those sessions which also provided material for the posthumous "Milk and Honey" album. Well here's a new fix for you, get this book. Starting Over: The Making of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy By Ken Sharp is an oral history of the album told by the key principals involved. It includes new interviews with Yoko Ono, producer David Geffen, Jack Douglas, the session band, Rick Nielsen and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick, engineers, record company personnel, photographers, including Annie Leibovitz and Bob Gruen, and members of the media who interviewed John and Yoko during their rounds to publicize the album.
The book also features photos and essays by David M. Spindel and Roger Farrington, who were there for the first day of the recording sessions. This is probably the next best thing to having the unreleased film from the sessions. The 272 pages hardcover book is due out on October 19th from MTV.
