Torrenting, 04, 09, '09

Well, with promo copies of all the new remastered Beatle CDs out there since early last week, no surprise that ALL of the tracks are already being torrented.
-
But since getting the tunes in anywhere near CD audio quality would tie up my computer for days, I'm waiting for the real thing.
-
I guess the biggest surprise for me is that although Beatles: The Rock Band video game has been in the hands of some reviewers for weeks-the NYTimes guy gets downright orgasmic about the game-none of the iolated tracks have widely appeared like previously for other video game applications.
-
At least one story I read said that when EMI gave the 40 odd tunes to be used in mocking up the Rock Band game, there was a low hum put on them so as to make them unattractive to a back door outting.
-
But once stuff is out to reviewers, well...Bob's yer Uncle Boot to bet!
-
Interestingly, Beatles Rock Band seems to be getting the bulk of the commericial time on the major networks, with lots of spots run during ABC college football coverage on Sept. 5.
-
Bummer, man.
