Our recap of the stories we featured during the past seven days includes a fresh look at a George Harrison classic.
Various stars from the entertainment world have come together to create the first official video for George Harrison‘s classic single My Sweet Lord, all executive produced by his son Dhani and directed by Lance Bangs.
“Making this was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life,” Bangs says. “The approach was to represent the song visually while these agents and inspectors kept missing the metaphysical wonder around them. Images are choreographed to the sounds of vocal melodies, guitar strums, drum patterns, chord changes.”
David Bowie’s Hunky Dory is the latest classic album to reach its 50th year, and will get an anniversary reissue on January 7th, 2022.

Big Thief are streaming two more tracks which will feature on Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You when it’s released on February 11th, 2022.
No Reason and Spud Infinity are two of the twenty songs which were recorded variously in New York, Topanga Canyon, the Rocky Mountains and Tucson, Arizona.
