More NEW Beatles
Every now and then we have the media annouce something as "the new Beatles". It never turns out to be.
TWITTER is the latest "Beatles".
In other news I ran out of disk space today. I cleared some of it up but it's only temporary and not alot. Tons of podcasts I've done backed up on here as well as Beatles related mp3's. It was only a matter of time. I will be putting some non-important stuff on discs and jump drives and eventually get a secondary hard drive.

RAM on
A tribute to RAM is coming out.
I approve. I more than approve.
RAM is one of my favorite McCartney albums. Whenever I'm on a roadtrip, it's always one of the albums I'll play to make the drive go by quicker. In fact I just repeated this tactic weeks ago.
We don't know how much of the album and lyrics were actually about the other Beatles, but it's fun to speculate. You can just feel how liberated Paul is letting all the feelings out on the album. The climax of the album with the fadeout of "Back Seat Of My Car" is an album conclusion that is hard to be topped in my book.
In other news, this is our 50th blog entry!

We all live
I started blogging last night when my computer had a power outage. Wasn't too happy about that.
I figure it's time for a normal episode of "Bertone Beatle Bonanza" again. All these interviews, specials, Wings Wednesdays and Monday Reports are cool, but I realize J-Term was our last STRAIGHT NORMAL episode. I will try and get one out this weekend.
Dhani Harrison is starting to become the official Beatles spokesperson. We've learned two interesting items from him as discussed on the podcast
1) The Beatles: Rock Band will contain unreleased songs and
2) The Beatles may decide to digitally sell their music through the website since iTunes isn't working out.
Selling it through their website exclusively is interesting. I do hope we can get on track with iTunes though...
In other podcast news my co-host and I are also on a show called Couch Potatoes where we jabber about TV.
I found a used book store in Tampa this last weekend that had some CHEAP out of print Beatles books. I could have easily spent over 50 dollars there but I controlled myself and only spent a few bucks. Can't wait to read some of them and to go back when I have more money!!
I also bought two books specifically on the making of the YELLOW SUBMARINE film. As I've said before I enjoy the Beatles books when they are more focused on paritcular aspects. This way they bring something more to the table than the other ones do. Now I can become a YELLOW SUBMARINE movie expert.

Not much activity on this blog lately, but plenty of activity elsewhere.
I just posted the first three episodes of the Beatles cartoon up on the website! Be sure to check it out.
The Pete Best Band has annouced that they will not be touring the US this year which saddens me somewhat. They put on a great show and they haven't been to Florida since 2006, so I was looking forward to seeing them again.
Still they will be touring different parts of the world and seeing new sites so I can't fault them for wanting to do that.

Beatles video game news
A release date for the Beatles video game has been annouced. The key word is "number nine" (I wonder if that song will figure in...)
9/9/09
Oh yeah. I thought we were going to have to wait until Christmas so this is awesome!!
I am getting a copy. I'll even be TRYING to get an early press review copy.
It has a website now but isn't much. For all the fuss they were making about how this game will not be a "Rock Band" spinoff, they are now calling it BEATLES ROCK BAND. I hope the name is changed but if it isn't I can live with it.
This is the REASON I own an Xbox360!!! (gamertag bertonebeatle by the way).
