Abbey Road Crossing : everyone wants to be in the act
Since the Beatles made their historic crossing of the Abbey Road pedestrian crossing, all those years ago, and eternalized it on their greatest album, every body has been getting in the act. You would think they had discovered America, not taken a breather from hard work in the Abbey Road recording studio.
Here are some interesting parodies:

Baby Road

Maiden Road

The Lego Road

Brackbird – the Japanese sing the Beatles
The Japanese are basically unable to hear the difference between the letter L and the letter R. No matter how they try L and R are the same for them. This can be a bit confusing to first time visitors who take the Metro to Ropponji (as it is listed in all the tourist brochures and signs) only to hear the train announcer tell them that they are now approaching Lopponji. In the land of Karaoke this can result in some interesting moments, to say the least. So my recent visit to a Japanese Beatles club was preceded with quite a bit More >
I am the Walrus revisited: Walrus_2222
Once upon a time, many years ago, before the invention of the internet, youtube and Simon Cowell, there lived a group of Liverpudlians who sang their hearts, got very rich and asked the Queen Mother of England to rattle her jewellery at one of their concerts. At the time there was a television station (you remember TV right?) called the BBC who reluctantly agreed to allow the fabulous four to produce their own TV movie, without first checking if someone had written a screenplay, or if J P G and R had any idea of what they were doing. This disastrous decision resulted, More >
Ringo Starr: 10 Facts you didn’t know about Ringo and some added goodies
Ten Facts You Didn’t Know about Ringo Starr
1. He and his father both shared the same name: Richard
2. When his mother remarried he called her husband his step ladder. This is early proof of the humor to come.
3. Much of his childhood was spent in hospitals, he was even in a coma for two months. Because he missed so much scholl he could barely read and write at the age of fifteen.
4. He missed most of the Beatles tour of Scandinavia in 1964 because of acute tonsillitis and was replaced by Jimmy Nichol.
5. It was Ringo who gave the More >
Unknown Group rewrites Sgt Pepper and Conquers British Charts: “Android Pfeffer’s Boneless Heart Club Band” – It may shock you.
The first single released from upcoming album Android Pfeffer’s Boneless Hearts Club Band, entitled Lucy Sold Her Sky for Diamonds, has been topping the British charts for over six weeks now and is keeping Simon Cowell up late at night in an attempt to find a way to launch a counter attack and protect his interests. Taite Gallery reporters have managed to cut through the media fog surrounding the new group and promised album and have actually met with group leader and singer Android Pfeffer, a seven foot, tinny, introverted rocker. Though Android revealed little regarding the background of the group and More >
Priceless Beatles Record Found: Not a Hoax! Acclaimed as the Rarest Beatle Album in the World
What you see above is the cover of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Or is it? Look a little closer and you’ll see that the faces on the members of the band don’t resemble any known beatle, and who are those people in the background. No this isn’t yet another piece of photoshop magic. This sealed album was found in a record collection of late Capital Records executive. It came to light when his widow gave the collection for appraisal to John Tefteller, owner of Tefteller’s World’s Rarest Record Store. “He had a collection of mainly jazz and easy-listening More >
Paul McCartney the computer programmer
Everybody knows that Paul mcCartney wrote Hey Jude for Julian Lennon after John and Cynthia Lennon split up. But did you know that young Paul was a computer programmer. I found this flow chart on a site called Love All This and given my I.T. history I couldn’t resist it. If it wer only that simple to write megasongs.
The Beatles Never Broke Up – Everyday Chemistry
From the We can never get enough Beatles department. The story goes like this. An American Guy, going by the fake name James Richards, comes into the possession of a cassette tape theoretically by the Beatles called Everyday Chemistry and writes up the story on a site called The Beatles Never Broke Up. The story is too ridiculous to mention here but you are welcome to go to the site and read it. The fake album is supposedly a Beatle release from a parallel world where John and George are still alive and healthy. What ensues is a hashed up album of eleven tracks More >

One after nine o nine o nine – Memories from the Beatles Christmas Show 1964
As a clever marketing gimmick the newly remastered and packaged Beatles catalog is being released today 09-09-09. This should come as no surprise to anyone as from the early days the group was heavily marketed, often to the fab fours great displeasure. One needs only to look at the original EP boxed set of the Magical Mystery Tour, the Yellow Submarine soundtrack or the Let it Be box to see what I mean. It was with similar thoughts in mind that Brian Epstein organized the infamous Beatles Christmas Shows. I was at one of these concerts in 1964 that I had the More >
