“Yellow Submarine” from the Beatles is surging on Amazon.
Just as you expected, but hilarious nonetheless — a wonderful time lapse of the famously pictured Abbey Road. It's also a music video for a band called Blame Ringo, who is partially to blame for this daily traffic jam. (Ringo is, not the band.)
It's the 28th anniversary of John Lennon's death today — you can add recollections or watch part of “War is Over” here.
Music Buzz A long-rumored Beatles track called Carnival of Light does in fact exist, and Sir Paul McCartney wants the world to hear it! It's said to be over 14 minutes long and features organ sounds, gargling and Beatles members shouting things like “Barcelona!” and “Are you all right?”. Awesome.
Tech Buzz Coming in 2009: A standalone version of Rock Band featuring nothing but the Beatles. Actually, the game isn’t being called Rock Band and there’s no telling yet which Beatles tunes will be included, but there is definitely some kind of game in the works which will feature the Beatles and the ability to play along with their songs.
Ringo Starr, in an angry tirade (albeit one filled with “peace and love”), announces he will “toss” all fan mail sent to him after October 20th. So you officially have six days to write a letter to everyone’s least favorite Beatle, proclaiming your indifference toward his mediocre-at-best solo albums. Make it happen!
An animated version of John Lennon, in 1969, talking about war and peace. The audio comes from a conversation recorded by then 14-year-old Jerry Levitan, who cornered Lennon in the singer’s Toronto hotel room. The grown-up Levitan produced this short.
Culture Buzz A Hard Day’s Night is the new four-star Beatles-themed hotel in Liverpool and features 110 individually designed bedrooms, including the specially created Lennon and McCartney suites. This is definitely on the high-design, luxurious end of the weird hotel trend. If you can’t afford to stay at the Beatles Hotel for your honeymoon (and at up to $1300 per night, who can?), there’s always The Dog Bark Park Inn.
