The Story of the Beatles in Two Minutes
I don't care about Rock Band. Or Beatles Rock Band. Not even Lego Rock Band. But I do care about The Beatles, and the game's opening cinematic is just a perfect, beautiful summary of their history. [Thanks Omar]

The Neumann Microphone: Approved By the Beatles and Hitler
NPR has this fascinating piece on the custom microphone building threaded with history of Neumann Microphones. Neumann made the smooth-sounding U47 that the Beatles recorded on almost exclusively on from 1962 to 1970, as did Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, and others. When I say others, I mean Hitler. More »

Paul McCartney Signs $400 Million iTunes Deal For The Beatles Catalog
Finally! Paul McCartney has signed a $400 million deal, which will see the Beatles catalog make its way to iTunes, at long last. UPDATE: While the UPI is a great source, and their story was written as fact, Sony/ATV, holders of much of the Beatles publishing rights, are throwing doubt on any of this being true. The UPI could have been had, too. Consider their source, the Daily Mail. And EMI, who we contacted directly, denies any news, either. More »

Yellow Submarine iPod Forthcoming, Loaded with Entire Beatles Catalog?
Hi there, Beatles haters. Please skip on down to the next post, and keep listening to that crappy music that will never measure up to the virtuosity and creativity of the musical entity that defined the 20th Century. Okay, now that they're gone, if you are wishful-thinking rumor hater, please leave too. Because this is what we have here—the next unlikely and reheated rumor in the saga of the Beatles and Apple: a Yellow Submarine-like iPod shipping soon with the entire Beatles catalog loaded on board.

Microsoft's Paul Allen's $12 Million Yellow Submarine
It appears Microsoft's co-founder is a big fan of things that sink. Obviously an avid Beatles fan, Allen's latest toy is a fully functional 40-foot yellow submarine (not to be confused with a 40-foot Yello Sub, which would be an even worse investment). He's now a member of a small, exclusive clique of ultra-rich underwater explorers; about 100 personal submarines are floating around our oceans. Hopefully it came with better drivers than Vista (zing!). [Paul Allen's New Sub via Valleywag]

EMI, Apple and YouTube Officially In Love Triangle; Warner Music Attempts Solo Project
Apple adds YouTube to Apple TV. EMI tracks are now sold DRM-free on iTunes. The triangle completes itself today, as EMI announced that it would share a bunch of EMI music videos on YouTube, and even "let" users integrate some of EMI's copyrighted material into their own homemade productions. Let's see what happens when (yes, when) that content includes the entire Beatles catalog. More »

Beatles Catalog Online: Mojo Filtered?
We've heard this so many times, we're reluctant to believe it: Again there are reports that that the Beatles will release their music catalog online. But the deal seems to be groovin' up slowly. No sooner had a tease of "an exciting new digital offering" been released from EMI Group—the label that's handled the Beatles in England since the beginning—when "a source familiar with the situation" said that for some reason the announcement tomorrow morning won't include the Beatles after all. What a letdown! The event was even supposedly going to include a special live performance. More » -

Rumor: Beatles Finally on iTunes by February 14?
A rumor surfaced on a Beatles fanboy site, claiming that Apple and the Fab Four have come to some sort of agreement to sell Beatles music on the iTunes store. As the story goes, The Beatles brilliant remix, Love, will reportedly be the first album to hit the iTunes site, perhaps as early as Valentine's Day. Fortune magazine fanned the flames, recently claiming that a special Beatles edition iPod might be part of the deal. More » -

Beatles Losers in Apple vs. Apple Case
When the Beatles and Steve Jobs somehow both decided to call their companies Apple, someone would inevitably be singing the song "I'm a Loser." In a court battle over whether iPods and iTunes will still be allowed to carry an Apple logo, a British judge ruled that Apple Computer has a store and a music player, and the music itself doesn't have Apple logos on it, so there's no harm, no foul.
