Radio 1's Lennon tribute online

by Mike Diver [Edit this content] ▾ 1 comment 12:34 December 6th, 2005

It might've come to your attention that this December marks the 25th anniversary of the murder of one John Lennon. Never ones to miss a trick, the BBC has compiled a tribute to the late Beatle, with a host of acts covering White Album songs.

The 31 songs are available for your listening pleasure at the Radio 1 website, and acts include the odd and, um, the odder still: Part Chimp, Hey Colossus, Deerhoof, Fuck and Bardo Pond weigh in with covers.

John Lennon wore glasses. He may have also got his cock out a bit.
