A short film about Paul Mawhinney and his record-setting record collection. Amazing, but also kind of sad.

Beatles Rock Band trailer.

Harmonix’s dedicated Beatles game is to be released on 9/9/09, to coincide with the release of their entire remastered catalog. It’s said to contain 45 Beatles tracks, and they plan on releasing the entire Abbey Road album as a download in the weeks following.

The most interesting thing about this game is the attention given to the visuals, which has been a backburner thing for previous Rock Band games (for good reason… no one really cares to see an animated redneck with a purple suit sing Aqualung). But this game looks like it follows the Beatles’ history, down to the clothing and hairstyles, the Yellow Submarine, and the look of band members. You’ve got my money, Harmonix.

PS — Ringo’s talent was underrated, and I’m stoked to play his drum parts.

Shad lays down a 6 minute flow in front of the garage.

This guy is ridiculously good.

Also check out this MTV Canada clip of him playing “Rock To It,” Rhymin’ and playing guitar.

The new hotness. I found out about this guy on thesixtyone, a sort of digg/rpg game for indie and underground music. You should join, it’s fun. Justin turned me onto it yesterday, and it’s mega addictive. Tell the site that colemanm sent you, if you sign up (I might level up).
