Music Pick of the Week

Since I was lazy last week and didn't post a music pick, I decided this week I would post a SUPER DUPER music pick, featuring four of the greatest musicians ever. John, Paul, George and Ringo. That's right: THE BEATLES! No doubt, most of you are fans (because, I mean, who wouldn't be??), so instead of showcasing their 100's of songs, I thought I'd mention some of the recent projects that incorporate Beatles songs.

Across The Universe

This is a movie that came out about a year ago, and I love it. The director chose her favorite Beatles songs, and wrote the movie around them. Both the movie and soundtrack are amazing. Here is a clip from the movie (my fave)... The song is "Let It Be", and the scene depicts the 1960's (when the movie takes place), and how there was a war going on in Vietnam, as well as a war here on the streets in the US.

LOVE

The Beatles LOVE is the Las Vegas Cirque De Solei show that plays at the Mirage. Sadly, I have been to Vegas twice but haven't gotten a chance to see it. I have the soundtrack, and have listened to it 100 times, been to the Beatles' store in LV, the Revolution Lounge... But alas, I'm still waiting to see the actual show. Hopefully someday... Until then, the soundtrack is GREAT!!

I Am SamOK, last one... This movie isn't actually about The Beatles, but the soundtrack is all Beatles covers. If you are a Beatles fan, and you haven't heard it, go get it! NOW! :P

Well, there you have it... My declaration of love for one of the greatest, most timeless, most influential bands ever. And if anyone wants to get me the perfect gift for xmas, here is a suggestion of something I just found:

Or you could always get me tix to see LOVE :)
