  • The Sundance Channel presents "Live From Abbey Road" beginning in June. Each episode of the twelve-part series features three acts—an icon, an established singer-songwriter, and an up-and-comer—performing in the studio as though they were recording. Paul Simon, Damien Rice, and Corinne Bailey Rae have all signed on for the series, which began airing in England in January.

  • The world's best Beatles cover band, the Fab Faux, will perform an imaginary 1970 Beatles album they're calling Hot As the Sun on March 13 and 14 at Webster Hall in New York. Its tracks will include tunes like "Instant Karma (We All Shine On)" and "It Don't Come Easy" from among the dozens of songs members of the group recorded prior to the band's breakup. If you can't make it, wait until they come to your town and play the White Album in its entirety.

  • Yoko Ono has blocked the screening of a new documentary about John Lennon.

  • As part of a national marketing campaign for albums you probably already own, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Association of Recording Merchandisers deem Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band the greatest album ever.

  • With so much Beatles news floating around, you could easily imagine a plucky fan or two devoting a blog to them alone. Oh wait, someone already has.

  • ZZ Top, Genesis (minus Peter Gabriel, alas), and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill—none of whom is the Beatles—have announced upcoming tours.

  • And finally, what if Bob Dylan sang the writings of Dr. Seuss? Fab!
