One of my favourite corners of the Internet is Tiny Desk, which features musicians performing behind a desk in the Washington-DC headquarters of National Public Radio. Since the pandemic, performances have been from home. Here is Dua Lipa performing from a “home” studio in London, starting off with Levitating:

Twelve years ago, Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock performed a live jazz version of Mitchell’s classic, River:

I’m looking forward to seeing Peter Jackson‘s new film, The Beatles: Get Back, which will be released in 2021. It was supposed to be released in 2020 but was delayed by the pandemic. Jackson  explains in this preview that he’s still editing 56 hours of footage from the final Beatles recording sessions in 1969 at Apple Studios:

The Beatles had discussed playing a series of live concerts but the band only performed its final live concert on the rooftop of Apple Studio on Jan. 30, 1969. The Beatles final album was originally titled Get Back but was released May 8, 1970 as Let It Be, one month after the band broke up. Producer George Martin had originally produced the album but the Beatles weren’t happy with the mix and gave it to American producer Phil Spector for final overdubs and remixing. Martin did not get a credit as producer, causing him to say: “I produced the original, and what you should do is have a credit saying ‘Produced by George Martin, over-produced by Phil Spector’.”

This is Graham Nash‘s gift to Joni Mitchell on her 75th birthday. He wrote Our House when he was 27 and Joni was 26. A friend of mine was hitchhiking to Gibsons, on the Sunshine Coast and was picked up by Joni, who was coming off the Langdale Ferry. She drove them for a while and stopped the car, saying: “I’ve got to stop at this pub and have a beer with a friend. If you’re still on the road when I come out I’ll give you a ride.” Well, they didn’t get another ride and Joni came out of the pub with her friend and picked them up – there was my friend and two others, including a dulcimer maker from the Appalacians. Joni got in the car with her “friend” – Graham Nash, Laurel Canyon lovers at the time – and kept asking questions about the dulcimer in the back seat. She said she had a song that would fit so well with dulcimer, which she played to demonstrate: A Case of You.
