Horse & carts.

I sometimes see them on my way to work, when they approach Wormwood Scrubs, when I have to wait five minutes or so to cross the road.

will Love be new recordings of old hits or digitally remastered. I may have to look into this.

Cirque du Soleil is an acrobatic circus.  My friend took me and Susan to see it for our wedding gift.  For the Las Vegas performances, they do a show that interprets the Beatles and has a 60's theme to it.  They got George Martin (the fifth Beatle, one of many fifth Beatles, but perhaps more deserving than most of the title) to take a little trip through the back catalog and remix classic Beatles songs into new and strange ways.  Entertainment Weekly gave it a good review and said the 5.1 mix is really interesting. They use a Live at the Hollywood Bowl recording for the back channels while a remixed version of the album version of one of the songs plays in the front speakers.  Lots of studio chatter, and alternate versions (like from the Anthology collections).

I say it's good they didn't get some idiot dance remixer who knows nothing about the Beatles to cut something together.  George Martin was very instrumental in helping to shape the sound of the Beatles.

no audio clips on amazon yet (bummer)

hmmm... found a copy online real quick... it's not radically altered versions of the song...

though "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite/I Want You (She's so Heavy)" was mixed rather cool....

I will have to hear the album first before purchasing it.

not really samples... it's the whole album.

it definitely gets funkier after the first couple tracks. I still haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but it's definitely interesting.

thanks Chucky, I am interested and will listen, & i have a freind who is a purist and will not  ;D  Like you stated earlier, with Sir George Martin at the helm, it's got to have some potential as he was a master at putting songs together for the Beatles.

I search for Harrod's inventory online, apparently they don't carry any submarines (yellow or otherwise) nor any Beatles. 

I doubt any other shops in London would have online access that I could search for, not that I know of anyways.  ;D

In this photo, taken just a few moments ago (8:45 a.m. London time), it looks like these guys are crossing the road carrying guitars.  At least to me it does.  Maybe I am hallucinating again and just need sleep.  :D

A tree fell across the road in the high winds this afternoon just off Abbey Road. Behind me (not in shot) is the iconic Beatles crossing from the album cover. By the time I passed by it was night and they were cutting up the tree to clear the road.

But I can't tell what it says, it's in another language (German, maybe?) but I can't get Babel Fish to translate it for me.

That's not German, that's Norwegian.  You can tell because the web address has "no" in it and that's the country code for Norway.

Just checked, unfortunately Babel Fish doesn't translate from Norwegian, so I guess I'm out of luck.

I wonder if there is something blocking the lane just outside the Abbey Road webcam view, as it seems that cars are going in the same direction on BOTH sides of the road.  Either that or some silly American is driving on the wrong side of the road in England yyet again. lol

At one stage yesterday there was a crows outside the studios, it must have been a walking guided tour.

My first "crossing" catch of the day at 9:55 a.m. on March 25, 2007

I also wanted to mention that I noticed some pretty green leaves hanging down in front of the webcam.  I wonder if some winds made the branch they are on hang a little lower putting them into the frame...?

I was gonna make a special photoshopped Abbey Road pic with all the lads' mothers on the road in honor of the American holiday "Mothers Day" (but I couldn't find a pic of George's mum), then I thought, welll maybe I should put in the wives too since they were mums too, then I started thinking, should I put in first wives as well or current wiives...then it just got too complicated and I decided not to do a photo afterall.

More properly you should say there's not a song called The Beatles either because that is the correct name of the album.  And lots of bands do self-titled albums - just it's usually their first not their ninth
