An unreleased Beatles tune has popped up on the internet, and it's pretty cool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDvzHqytwp8
The nearly 11-minute track is apparently "Take 20" of the White Album's "Revolution 1." It starts off with studio chatter, including a high-pitched John Lennon saying, "Take your knickers off and let's go," before it goes into a a take on "Revolution 1." Around the five-minute mark the song takes an unexpected turn toward "Revolution 9" territory, using tape loops, voice distortion and samples.
"Take 20" ends with some heady conversation between Lennon and Yoko Ono, something about being naked and how things are "going to be alright."

In April, an extraordinary auction will provide an unprecedented look into the private world of Michael Jackson. More than 2,000 items, ranging from personal effects and costumes to pieces from Jackson's private art collection as well as fittings and furnishings from his Neverland ranch, will be up for sale at a four-day public auction at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.
While the lots are "priced as if you and I had owned them, not as if they were owned by Michael Jackson", according to Martin J Nowlan, the Irish co-owner of Julien's Auctions, this is "certainly not a fire sale" of Jackson's belongings - there is, he says, much more to the singer's hoardings. But it would seem to have a personal significance, perhaps symbolising the point at which Jackson himself feels finally able to divest himself of much that conspired to tarnish his career in order to begin anew.
You can see the full auction catalogue here

And see images of some of the choice items on the Guardian's website

Former Blind Faith bandmates Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood continue their recent spate of collaborations with a full US tour in June.
After uniting onstage for a series of sold out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden last year, the duo are set to play a couple of shows together in Japan when they’re both on tour there later this month.
Both Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton Store both play dates in the UK this year, but alas no joint dates.

FRANK ZAPPA The New Brown Clouds
Unique 1972 US score for the third trombone as HAND WRITTEN by FZ for Bruce Fowler, complete with Frank's own corrections & annotations.
Running across five sheets of stave, as it does, it seems incrediblethat Frank actually hand wrote each of the parts for the twenty piece band arrangements & even more incredible that it still survives in pristine condition thirty seven years later.
This manuscript comes from the personal collection of MartyPerellis, who was the road manager for the tour & has also been authenticated by David Ocker who, later, became Zappa's music copyist [1977-1984].
991 offers you yet another one-off piece of history that, for my money, knocks an autograph into a cocked hat - An FZ original score TRANSCRIBED PERSONALLY by FZ for a member of the legendary Grand Wazoo Orchestra - It doesn't get much better than this.
