Update

We now have a twitter account!




.........whatever that means!

RIP

Yahoo is closing it's music store and engine. Yahoo's default music store will now be Rhapsody. Bummer. I loved Yahoo Music for years. It had a great site, great system, awesome customizations and more.

Truth be told, I thought it was much better than iTunes. I used to use their "Unlimited" program and pay 15 dollars a month for unlimited mp3's. Sure, they would expire if you didn't pay the next month, but for 15 dollars I got as many as I wanted and could put them on my Zen mp3 player.

I don't like Rhapsody as much. I did their free trial and I wasn't too happy. Their music engine doesn't flow as well, many tracks lagged and skipped and it just wasn't as user friendly.

Well blow me down!


Myspace is going to be doing a free music from various labels streaming on their site!

Relevant link!

Yes, this includes the Beatles.

My reaction? Awesone I suppose, but we can get free Beatles music streaming at like 900 other sites, including Project Playlist.

At yet still no iTunes..

Web Designer


I had to let our last web designer go due to hacking and web sabatoge. Currently looking for a new one and e-mailing Craigslist ads.

Paul McCartney's visit to Israel is going well by all accounts. Many people predicted an assassination but it appears he'll get out alive. I'm honestly not all that enthused by the trip. Paul did Red Square and that was also a big deal and now it's this. I know I'm in the minority, and I understand it's a big deal for the country, but it just is not something I'm too excited about hence me not posting alot about it despite it being a big news piece.

Unpopular opinion, and I probably am wrong, but that's the way it goes.

New Phone

I fixed the problems we were having with the shows hotline. I apologize to those who have been leaving messages that I haven't been getting.

The new number for the show hotline is 206-350-7935!

GIVE US A CALL!

I must own this


I must have this.

According to Amazon.com ,

Product Features

  • Six custom pewter tokens including: The Walrus, Here Comes the Sun, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Strawberry, Octopus's Garden, and Rocky Raccoon
  • The familiar Monopoly game play allows Beatles fans to own and trade some of the greatest icons in Beatles history.
  • Traditional Houses & Hotels are renamed Listening Parties and Concerts

Sounds awesome!

This is why I love the Beatles.

Do we see Nirvana Monopoly? Oasis Lullabies For Kids?

The Beatles got merchandise for almost EVERY product!

Figures

I finally get around to updating the show, and the very next day my power gets shut off. Told you all I was having money problems! At least I picked yesterday to post the new shows!

Mamma Mia!

Well I was still awake so I figured I would knock off another show. It's been months so I figured I owed that much too you.

For those of you who want to brush up on the current news item, click here. In a nutshell, audio diares have surfaced with John recording the fact that he lusted after his mother.

Do I believe it? I'm not sure. It's not that unbelievable given other evidence that is out there. Paul also went on record saying he lusted after his mother (proof found in my latest podcast episode).

What are your thoughts on this?

Season 3 begins!


Podcast and the blog finally updated! You can go to our page hyperlinked here to see it. Or you can go to iTunes and subscribe.

Thanks to everyone who encourage me to come back and do this again. It's going to be four years in a little more than a month since Bertone Beatle Bonanza first hit the airwaves. It's been a bumpy but fun ride. Through it all, this has been a fun hobby. But that is just what it's been, a hobby. Real life always got in the way and so did my first jobs. The show suffered in the past, and I will be honest, will continue to suffer from that in the future.

The whole thing was funded by me with some help here and there. As a result of my financial situation I couldn't mantain the bandwidth, hosting fees and more. The economy has been bad for everyone, myself included.

I want to try and do this show somemore as it is my first love. Hopefully that will happen. We may have a new sponser which could save me some money, so stayed tuned!

Comments and e-mails the reason that I keep coming, so let's keep them coming!
