Give peace a dance

Yoko Ono laughs when we suggest that we motivation Give Peace a Chance more now than when it was originally recorded in 1969.�

�Exactly,� she replies, the shortest answer she�ll give during our conversation, and leaves it at that. Perhaps this is reason sufficiency for the release of Give Peace a Chance (The Remixes), a digital collection of eight remixes of the Plastic Ono Band protestation anthem with Ono�s freshly recorded vocable vocals. Though the commingling of protest anthem and block rockin� beats crataegus laevigata seem incongruous to some, for Ono it�s a completely natural method to get the message to the mass.

�If you want to get through to individual, you go to their stomach with your soup,� she says. �(The remixes) are like soup. People hand in to their bodies; their bodies will know what�s important.��

Ono, 75, has led an unprecedented womb-to-tomb career as a ocular, conceptual and musical creative person of the avant-garde, a fact overshadowed by her marriage to John Lennon.

In the late �60s, Ono and Lennon spearheaded a number of peace rallies and bed-ins, the second of which, in 1969 in Montreal, produced the original recording of Give Peace a Chance.

Ono herself seems surprised by the song�s lasting wallop, not to mention the remix project�s recent topping of Billboard�s Hot Dance Club Play charts.

�We just did whatever we could and never looked back,� she says of her musical and activist collaborations with Lennon. �At the time, the bed-in was the most important matter we were doing.� �

Lily Allen Releases New Song About BNP 'Crew'

Lilly Allen has published a new song on her Myspace page, which the singer says was written about the BNP.



'Guess Who Batman' includes the lyrics “Fuck you, fuck you very much” and “You're just some racist who can't tie my laces, your point of view is medieval.”



Speaking about the record, Allen wrote: "This song is not a direct attack at anyone, it was originally written about the BNP in the UK but then I felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere."



The song, which ends abruptly because of a restriction from her record label, was recorded during sessions for the singer's new album.



Allen has previously posted two other new songs online, both of which showed a more electro influence compared to material from her debut album 'Alright, Still'.

Her album is expected later this year.

A seminal influence on the development of jactitate and black metallic element, Venom formed during the recent '70s in Newcastle, England. Originally a five-piece mathematical group called Oberon, they eventually cut their lineup to a triple comprising singer/bassist Conrad "Cronos" Lant, guitar player Jeff "Mantas" Dunn, and drummer Tony "Abaddon" Bray. Influenced by the cloggy strength of Motörhead and the visual flash of Kiss, the new rechristened Venom developed a drab, red-hot sound which paved the style for the subsequent get up of thrash medicine; likewise, their ghastly, proudly diabolic simulacrum proved a major divine guidance for the legions of dim metal bands to appear in their heat, level loaning the genre its mention with the release of their 1982 soph LP, Dark Metal. (Their debut, Welcome to Hell, preceded it by a twelvemonth.)


Venom's third album, At War with Satan, followed in 1983, and deuce years later they released Possessed. Lineup changes plagued the mathematical group in the years to follow, with Mantas exiting in the awaken of 1985's live Eine Kleine Nachtmusik; guitarists Matt Hickey and Jimmy Clare were tapped as his replacements, fashioning their debut on 1987's Lull Before the Storm. Cronos then throw in the towel as well, nonetheless, climb a solo life history and taking both Hickey and Clare with him as he left wing; at that level Mantas rejoined Abaddon to var. a new edition of Venom with onetime Atomkraft vocalist/bassist Tony "The Demolition Risk" Dolan and guitar player Al Barnes. The new card made its curtain call on 1989's Prime Evil; Tear Your Soul Apart appeared a class later.


After 1991's Temples of Ice, Barnes foreswear Venom; his absence was filled by guitarist Steve "War Maniac" White, world Health Organization on with keyboardist V.X.S. was recruited in time for 1992's The Waste Lands before both chop-chop exited. The trio of Mantas, Abaddon, and Dolan continued touring end-to-end the heart days of the decade, although no more than new studio recordings were coming; in the end, in 1996 Cronos returned to the Venom fold, making way for Dolan's departure. The original lineup's generate to action was heralded by the release of the mini-album Venom '96, followed in 1997 by the uncut Made in Stone. After a human beings turn, Venom issued the two-disc New, Live & Rare in mid-1998. Interred Alive appeared a class later, and in the spring of 2000 the group returned with The Court of Death and Beauty and the Beast. In 2006 they storied their 25th anniversary with Alloy Black.
