Why is a raven like a writing desk? Only through the effort of dedicated (lonely) fans do we now have this and other pop culture answers.
Celebrity Buzz Words cannot describe how amazing this is.
Celebrity Buzz He's Paul McCartney…he can apparently call his album whatever he wants to. It's not a demand from his tour rider, it's a lyric from a Fats Waller song.
Culture Buzz The Peanuts gang almost has it right. If Snoopy is supposed to be Paul (barefoot), shouldn't he be behind Charlie?
Culture Buzz This guy better have auditioned, or he definitely has more to regret than pretty much anyone who ever lived.
Culture Buzz “Mod Odyssey” offers us a fascinating inside look into the making of the classic Beatles movie. The original theatrical trailer for “Yellow Submarine” is included at the end. (via)

Celebrity Buzz Photographer Mike Mitchell took these amazing photos of The Beatles at the Washington Coliseum in 1964 when he was 18. Then he put them in a basement and forgot about them for 47 years. Next week, they are up for auction at Christie's in New York. (via.)
This abstract Beatles Baby Quilt is so rad, and educational. (Via The Uniblog)

John Lennon, man of hilariously peevish letters.
Celebrity Buzz In honor of its founder, the recently deceased Charles Laufer, here's a cover gallery of Tiger Beat magazine. From the Righteous Brothers to the Jonas Brothers, Tiger Beat has been providing teenage girls with collage fodder since 1965.

Ringo made a kid's Make-A-Wish dream come true last week. He met with cancer survivor Alexx Kipp, who also suffers from tourettes, at the Los Angeles Hard Rock Cafe where he played drums with the 17-year old and gave him a black and white Ludwig drum kit. Well done, Starr.
Culture Buzz How does “Friday” compare to “A Day in the Life?” I think we all know what's going on here.

Just before the famous Abbey Road photo was taken, The Beatles were photographed on the sidewalk waiting to cross the street.
Max Dalton illustrates 10 years of the Beatles looking fabulous in their iconic wardrobes. Get a limited edition print while you can!
Tech Buzz This will be a Rorschach test for fanboys. You'll either see art or tragedy.
The big iTunes announcement “you'll never forget” appears to be that iTunes is going to start selling music from The Beatles. Use this chart to figure out if you should care.
Imagine never having listened to Abbey Road. No, imagine never having listened to Abbey Road but being featured right on the cover. Paul Cole was accidentally included in the album as he watched the foursome one by one cross the street while on vacation in London. He thought they were just 4 “kooks.” Yes, just 4 world renowned kooks!
Culture Buzz Kenny the Corgi loves a good Liverpool accent. [Ed. note: Also, apparently, a really profoundly awful Liverpool accent, but there's no accounting for taste.]
Music Buzz Here are some of the Beatles greatest hits, sung by dogs, cats and cows. Is it wrong to say I like some of these better than the originals?
BP has not only destroyed our oceans and shores, but it’s going after our childhoods now! Imitation Spongebob's voice is creepier than Spongebob's real voice.
Photographer Tom Murray found a bunch of previously unseen pics of the Beatles in his bank vault. It was their last official photo shoot together. [Ed Note: Not to state the blindingly obvious here, but this one's a little creepy.]

Epic mashup album of Wu Tang with Beatles instrumentals. [Ed Note: This is surprisingly soothing. The Fab 4 clearly ain't nothing to fuck with. Enjoy.]
