POPSJohn Lennon film brings London festival to an end LONDON (Reuters) - The London film festival closes on Thursday with the world premiere of "Nowhere Boy," about John Lennon's rebellious teenage years and his torrid relationship with his aunt and mother before the Beatles were formed. The directorial debut of video artist Sam Taylor-Wood, the movie stars Aaron Johnson as an angry, confused Lennon who struggles to understand why his mother Julia left him with his aunt Mimi when he was a small boy. The film plays on the contrast between his "buttoned-up," straight-laced aunt, played by Kristin Scott Thomas, and his fun-loving mother (Anne-Marie Duff) who encourages him to listen to rock'n'roll and teaches him the banjo. Asked how reliable her account of the star's troubled youth was, Taylor-Wood told BBC Radio:

POPSRemember Cassette Tapes? These Are Amazing! Ghost in the Machine: "In this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette. Also included are portraits made from old film and reels. The idea comes from a philosopher's (Ryle) description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging." : )

POPSvideo: Barenaked Ladies - "Be My Yoko Ono" Lyrics: If there's someone you can live without, then do so. And if there's someone you can just shove out, do so. Chorus You can be my Yoko Ono You can follow me wherever I go Be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono. Isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love? Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove. Now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain. To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain. Chorus Oh no, here we go, our life is just one big pun. Oh no, here we go as Yoko sings Aieee! I know that when I say this I may be stepping on pins and needles. But I don't like all these people Slagging her for breaking up the Beatles. (don't blame it on Yoki!) If I was John and you were Yoko, I would gladly give up musical genius, Just to have you as my very own, personal Venus. (hit it!)

POPSTop 25 YouTube Beatles Hits 
Perhaps because of yesterday's release of software: Beatles: Rock Band, a mag put together this list. If you want to enjoy and watch 25 Beatles tunes, this page got it. MY favorite, clipped here, is number 18 (gasp!) so I wouldn't get all uptight insisting Number One on this list is Absolutely Number One best Beatles tunes....everyone has and certainly entitled to their own faves. There seems to be a certain "sober joy," in the author's choices. I was glad to see "Imagine," was not here -- somehow, after John Lennon's murder, the Rolling Stone put it on the cover (along with that 'unbalanced,' Leibovitz photo) and suddenly this was the "Image," of the Beatles, but way off the mark, imo.

POPS Jobs Takes Stage Again At Apple The stock gave up those gains, though, as the holiday rollout failed to include substantial surprises, notably the inclusion of Beatles music in the iTunes online store. Instead, Mr Jobs touted a revamp to iTunes, now called iTunes 9, with $1.29 ringtones, whilst Jeff Robbin, vice-president of iTunes engineering, demonstrated the extras that will now come with the sale of a full album, including photos, lyrics and, in some cases, exclusive video.
