Beatles Rock band Setlist Leaked?

According to a website, this is the track list for Beatles Rock Band. (Love the cartoon at the top, by the way.)

Up against my list, I'm 32 for 45, not too bad considering I didn't know about the three microphone thing. There are some things that I'm glad the ones who chose the set list agree with me on ("Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and my Monkey!" That's going to be so much fun to play!) And then some where I'm looking at it and wondering how I could have thought they wouldn't be on there (I left off "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand?!")

But some neat points:

• I was perfect on only one album; Revolver, three for three.
• I was right about there being a lot of songs from Let It Be due to the simple instrumentation of the songs; however, I picked six and they picked four (and matched three).
• I picked the same four songs from Abbey Road, but thought they would also include "The End" because of that bitchin' guitar solo. But I heard the whole album will be available for download.
• Only one song there that made my shortlist that got cut: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Of course, this might not be the correct list, as the game's rated T for tobacco references. Two Beatles songs refer to cigarettes or smoking, neither of which are on this list. So we'll see.

More Info about Beatles Rock Band

The world premiere of the Beatles Rock Band game is today, even though it's not being released for another three months. I am so excited over what I'm seeing here.

This website includes a partial track list: ten out of the forty-five songs they said there will be in the game, not counting the songs available for download. There might be some differences from the list I came up with, since I didn't know that there will be three microphones for singing harmony (eeee!), but so far, I'm eight for ten.

College baseball. Rain Delay. What do you do?

You have a dance off, of course. Until you decide to turn the tarp into a giant slip-n-slide. I don't know why I think this video is awesome. I just do.

Gah!

I recently came upon the last photo taken by nature photographer Michio Hoshino, who was mauled to death by a bear thirteen years ago. Now I've seen many photos on the internet in my time, but none made me jump up in fright before. Until now.

This guy must have had nerves of steel to be able to take that photo. I personally would have probably crapped myself. I might go to sleep tonight with a light on.

(Edit) Fortunately, the photo's a hoax. Unfortunately, that guy really did get mauled to death by a bear.

Meet the new accident, same as the old accident

Two weeks ago I zoned out for a second while driving to work.

I realized I was about to miss my turn and braked quickly. The person driving behind me also quickly braked, but it wasn't as effective for him on the wet pavement, and crashed into me.

I was sore for a day, but I was fine. My six month old car has a crack in the bumper and the trunk's popped up a tiny bit. Shows you how awesome my car is when I'm rear-ended by a giganimous old Bronco and that's all that happens.

The guy was cool about it, and his insurance is paying for my repairs. I didn't even have to call in late to work, because the police station was within eyesight of the accident and he was there and gone within minutes. It really sucks to get into an accident with a new car though, because when you tell people about it, they're more concerned with the damage to the car than to you.

Anyway, the only reason I'm mentioning that is because when I driving home from work today, and passing the same exact intersection, I saw a swarm of police vehicles and three cars pulled over on a side street, in what appeared to be almost the exact same situation I'd been in.

This post's title brought to you by a rephrasing of the song I heard on the radio while I drove by today's accident.

More Beatles Stuff

A new photo has surfaced of the Quarrymen, the skiffle group John Lennon formed that eventually became the Beatles.

I took one look at the photo and got a little chuckle out of it. Can you tell which one of those guys is John Lennon? You might have trouble, since he's the one in the checked shirt. The only one whose face is completely turned away from the camera. Nice haircut, dude.

By the way, when Beatles Trivial Pursuit comes out, I challenge anyone to beat me. It will be on like Donkey Kong.

Just a post for funsies.

The nifty blog Eye On Springfield, whose only mission is to provide screencaps from the golden years of The Simpsons, has made a gif of one of my favorite moments on the series.

Here's the scene in full on YouTube to explain the situation.
