It’s official: The Beatles inspire new music video game.

For years I have been waiting for this.  Remember this folks, I am a second generation Beatle fan.  I was raised on a steady diet of computer and video games.  To me, this is very exciting. 
This brings a silly little story to mind. I remember back in 1987 an article in the video game magazine, [...]

Meet the Beatles…coming to a video game near you.

Well folks it looks like we will see a major announcement concerning our beloved Fab Four tomorrow.  It looks like we will be seeing/hearing a press conference from the folks at MTV and Apple (records) about the Fabs hitting a game console near you, in the form of the smash video game hit, Rock Band.

Hopefully [...]

Phil Spector’s crazy pre-trial rant about McCartney.

I don’t think I’m the first one to say that Phil Spector has lost his mind.  I mean he’s never truly been stable.  He does have a history of pulling firearms on people, John Lennnon being one of them.  He is a musical genius, but he’s totally lost his marbles.
When you are on trial for [...]

Family Game Night with Beatles’ Monopoly…

I was never lucky enough to obtain a copy of the now-collectible Beatles’ board game Flip Your Wig.  All of that was way before my time.  My mom didn’t own a copy that survived past 1968.  Sadly, I always wished that I could own one, but cannot justify the huge prices for such a collected [...]

Beatles’ legacy makes journalists eat their words.

I mean really folks.  What is all the fuss about?  We rant and rave.  We speculate about future releases.  We rumor-monger.  We gloss nostalgic about the past.  We relive records that have become members of the family.

Why oh why do we obsess the way we do about the Fab Four?  We can list thousands of [...]

One in a million.

Hey there folks.  Matt here.  Just wanted to say thanks to everyone out there on the web.  Today is a bit of a milestone with the Beatle blog here.  We’ve hit 1 million hits today.  That’s pretty impressive considering we’ve only been at this since April of 2006!

Thanks to everyone who’s been along for the [...]

McCartney: No More Lonely Nights.

Can Paul McCartney stay single folks?  Apparenty not as it seems.  Paul’s latest girlfriend is moving into the estate.  I find it a little hard to believe that after such a nasty and public divorce that Paul would get into another long-term relationship.  It’s pretty amazing  if you think about it.

I’m just glad that Paul’s [...]

HarperCollins signs McCartney bio.

I cannot think of the last time I read a really earth shaking biography of Paul McCartney.  There aren’t just that many high-quality titles out there about our dear boy Paul.  I mean, some of the history has yet to be written.  If he keeps putting music out that’s been as good as his last [...]

Ringo addresses autograph ban.

What a strange and difficult year it’s been for Ringo Starr.  He’s been beheaded in topiary format.  He has insulted Liverpool.  He’s been stand-offish in interviews.  Now, he’s banned fans from sending items to autograph.

He’s got some explaining to do.  Ringo has now come out publically and all but apologized to his legions of fans [...]

Ringo Starr warns fans he is too busy to sign autographs.

This seems a little fishy people.  Ringo is always known as the approachable Beatle.  He loves his fans and spreading his message of peace and love.  But now he no longer has the time to sign items for his beloved fans.  What could he be working on so feverishly folks?  Could it be a new [...]
