Too Cool For Words


I saw this commercial last night and rewound it about fifteen times. Anybody gonna get Beatles Rockband?

There's a really fascinating article in this month's Wired Magazine, a kind of behind-the-scenes, making-of piece. As you might expect, it's a minor miracle the game happened at all. Lots of legal and technical wrangling.

You can read the entire article here. I'm going to watch this clip again ...

Are you going to buy the game?

Jay said...

No, I'm not. But my mom already has Rockband at her house and my sister says she's going to get it.

No game for me, but I'll be scooping up as many of the reissues as I can afford starting next week. The sound on the original 89 issues is TERRIBLE so I'm really looking forward to this.

I read that, for a limited time, the reissues will come with Quicktime documentaries about the making of each album. I see Abbey Road and The White Album in my future.

Hey, wouldn't it be funny if we worked out a purchase rotation, so we could have them all? Ha ha. Hmmm ...

Watch a few minutes of the making of Beatles For Sale here.
