Okay, this is kooky. - Bob Schroeck - 01-23-2010
Website of a guy who claims he visited a parallel earth where the Beatles never broke up and CDs never caught on. Includes downloadable zipfile and mp3s of a Beatles album that never was. I haven't listened to it yet, so I can't vouch for it. But the story's weird enough to intrigue and amuse folks here, I'm sure.

Kooky or not, there's things to recommend it regardless of the validity of the claim. On the one hand, skilled pastiche work; on the other, quantum physicists of the "many worlds" hypothesis got a boost, no?

Huh. Nice story.
Just started listening to the music. Ok - First track is sampled together from several sources, combined with a catchy thru line. It's kind of neat. Not enough to make me believe it's something the Beatles actually made (or would have) but fun nonetheless.
