Wow. A lot can happen when you move and get married. I really didn't mean to totally abandon this community- it was one of my favorite creations. It was a huge part of my life, as is my love for the Beatles. But I don't have a reliable internet connection anymore, and I've been so busy, so I haven't been able to update as I would have liked. It seems the last post was on my birthday, just over a month ago- that's not too bad. I'm glad people continued to post in my absence at all. I love the new icons that have been posted.

My husband was not a Beatles fan, but I have succeeded in getting him hooked on several of their songs. I still love them just as much, with a little bit more passion for John Lennon's solo career. I moved to a different state on October 7, two days before his birthday, and got married on December 12, three days after the anniversary of his death. I wish I could have done a memorial post like I did last year.

In short, I've really missed this community.

Here Comes the Sun [21 Dec 2008|03:35pm]

Hi, all! I was just searching for Beatles icons and happened upon this community. I recently took a couple trips to Strawberry Fields, which was amazing, and I've been in quite a Beatles mood since.

I never did find what I was looking for, though. In honor of Solstice, I was hoping to find a nice, bright "Here Comes the Sun" icon. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Beatles fabric [07 Oct 2008|09:52am]

jkg_vader
Beatle-Fans, [info]padawansguide found some GREAT Beatles fabric here:

http://equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_main.html?catid=113

It is pretty pricey (over $8 a yard) but it's the only fabric of its type that I've ever seen, and beleive me, I've looked!

Also, they sell out fast, so if you think you may want some for a future project, get some now.

I plan on making some cute skirts, totes, and quilts with mine. :)

Hello everyone, Andsoshewrites here! And as you may or may not know, I started a Beatles slash RPG, called [info]thebeatleworld

And wow. I never realized the writers I'd get. Honestly, everyone is such an amazing writer, and I am so lucky to have the chance to write with them and to have them as a part of my RPG.

But I know there's been some complaint about everything that's been being posted lately in Beatle comms, and I just thought that I'd tell everyone about [info]thebeatleworld. So far we have a Paul (me), John, George, Ringo, Brian, Cynthia, Pattie, Bob Dylan, and even a Derek Taylor.

And I personally think the storyline is great. Everything works out quite well. Here are a list of some of the relationships that have been played in the RP:

John/Paul
John/Brian
Paul/George
Brian/George
Cynthia/Bob Dylan

And of coarse, John/Cynthia and George/Pattie.

We post quite often, and all the NC-17 threads are friends-locked, but you can join just to watch :D/

But, if you want to play, you can. We're currently looking for a Jane Asher and a Maureen Cox. But if you want to be someone else, you may. Just send me an email at andsoshewrites@yahoo.com and read the profile of [info]thebeatleworld

Now, here are the current players:

[info]nemperor as [info]mrepstein
[info]alicia_h as [info]cyn_lennon64
[info]maccas4evrlver as [info]johnwlennon
[info]blut_kruez as [info]george_harri_22 and [info]bob_dylan_1954
[info]hirelk as [info]richiestarr
[info]749_penny_lane as [info]derek_taylor
[info]warning7280 as [info]pattieboyd64
[info]andsoshewrites as [info]jamespmacca

And honestly, each and every one of them to a fantastic job! (Maybe not me, so much as them)

I'll put some snippets of the RP under a cut, so you all can see if you like it :]

The Family Way [05 Jul 2008|12:24pm]

dima_madcap
Hi there, dear beatlefans!

Though I'm really big fan of Paul and John, I could never find the original soundtrack to the movie "Family Way", released in 1966. As every beatlefan knows, this soundtrack can be honestly called "McCartney's first solo project"....But I could never hear it!..(((

Could you please share it with me,if you have one?...Perhaps, upload somewhere etc...It seems to be very rare.

Anyway, I've had three tests one on top of the other in the last few weeks. Did really well on the first two, the third--not so much, so as I was feeling a bit of the academic failure I decided to break out Anthology to cheer myself up and this bit of silliness came tumbling out. It's just a drabble really, Completely improbable and implausible and plenty of other words that begin with imp, but hopefully good for a laugh or two anyway :)

Hi everybody,

Good to see some new members signing up for the boards.

I'd be happy to drop some clues on some other characters that are in the script, but I'd love to see everybody else's thoughts first.

Who would you like to see in Brian's story? Who do you think deserves to be there?

OK, so I finally got around to watching "Across the Universe" but the jury is still out for me. First I have to say the girl that played Sexy Sadie was great - kind of put me in mind of Janis Joplin (obviously that is a plus for me) of course the music was great and most of it was very well done. I'm not a purist by any stretch of the imagination - I just don't like most remakes. I thought it was worth watching and I loved that lots of it reminded me of my youth (yes, I'm that old). Some of it was just too weird, even for me but overall I have to say I thought it was well worth the time.

Hi everyone!

Did anyone get Paul's newly-released dvd "Ecce Cor Meum"?. The dvd shows his classical piece ECM on the premiere in London at the Royal Albert Hall on November 3rd, 2006. Was anyone there that night? I was! It was just great, and an awesome place to see a classical piece by Paul.

1970 - The film "The Magic Christian," featuring Ringo Starr debuted in New York City.

1970 - John Lennon paid 1,344 pounds in fines for protesting the South African rugby team playing in Scotland.

1970 - John Lennon and Yoko Ono played "Instant Karma" on the BBC TV show "Top of the Pops."

2002 - Friends of former Beatle George Harrison filed an amendment death certificate. The original death certificate listed a fake address in Beverly Hills. Harrison had actually died several miles away in Hollywood Hills.

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone might know of the picture I am talking about and may possibly be able to link me to it
They used it in the John Lennon E! Documentary and I remember it was when May Pan was talking to Yoko and saying "Congratulations you got your man back"
It is of John and Yoko like sort of intertwined on a white couch and I believe Yoko is wearing jeans and a black sweater
Does anyone possibly have this picture?

Amazing Beatles Covers... [12 Jan 2008|05:10am]

michygeary
I discovered this guy on YouTube. And my god, can he play guitar beautifully? He does a lot of Beatles songs (no singing, just fingerpicking) and his renditions are absolutely amazing.

Check him out if you have the chance! He has a Beatles Playlist of 16 songs so far.


So far, he's covered:

  1. And I Love Her
  2. For No One
  3. Got To Get You Into My Life
  4. I Dig A Pony
  5. I Want To Tell You
  6. If I Fell
  7. I'm Only Sleeping
  8. Junk
  9. Martha My Dear
  10. Penny Lane
  11. There's A Place
  12. Yes It Is
  13. You Like Me Too Much
  14. You Never Give Me Your Money
  15. Your Mother Should Know
  16. You're Gonna Lose That Girl


And of course, subscribe to his videos if you love him like I do and want updates on future Beatles covers. :D

Hope the new year is treating all well!
