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).

Back From Vacation

Vacation is now over and it was grand but busy. I actually did so much going back and fourth that I needed a break from vacation!

I got some cool Beatles stuff for Christmas. I am too exhausted to make a full list but my family did good this year. One item of particular note was the Beatles Monopoly game. Those of you who read this know I posted about it months ago stating "I must have this". When I saw it, I looked at my Stepmom and asked if she knew from the blog. She didn't. I suppose she just knew from being my Stepmom or something.

Eric is actually on an epic Beatles hunt in Europe this month so we won't be seeing him until February. Lets hope he comes back with some stories.

We'll be doing our first show back in a few days. In place of Eric we will have another guest host. Some of you Beatle Bloggers may recognize him as he's been doing this Beatles Blogging for a long time now. You'll see when the show comes on..

Reread some Beatle books and saw the Beatles cartoons as I now have my DVDs of them. Wow. I will discuss those more in depth later.

Hope you all had a good vacation. Now lets get back to work!

Got Yoko Ono

I was browsing through random Beatles stuff on the eBay and found a bumper sticker that said "Got Yoko Ono?" for a dollar. Free shipping too since it was also right here in Florida. I knew I had to have it. It was just such an odd and unexplainable piece of merchandise unlike any other I had seen.

Just what does it mean to have Yoko Ono anyway?

iTunes stalling again

My dad just sent this article to me.

Apparently iTunes won't be releasing the Beatles tracks anytime soon. Not surprised. Don't hold your breath.

In other news got MCCARTNEY YEARS in the mail yesterday and have been enjoying it!

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.

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!
