ASPEN — The animation is colorful and otherworldly, the plot captures the psychedelic era's silliness, and the music represents The Beatles at their campiest.
The 1968 film “Yellow Submarine” will be featured from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Two Old Hippies, 111 S. Monarch St. in Aspen. Coffee and doughnuts will be served.
When it was released, “Yellow Submarine” was a hit with audiences and critics alike. Running 89 minutes, it sparked widespread interest in animation as a serious art form. Though the characters have the same names, likenesses and public personas of the actual members of the Fab Four during the height of Flower Power, The Beatles themselves did not provide voice-overs for the film.

Listening to the vinyl version of the Beatles’ Hey Jude album and it sounds amazing. Bought it second-hand Saturday at Aux 33 Tours for $20, but the vinyl is in top shape, and it’s like listening to Don’t Let Me Down for the first time, with Paul’s big fat bass jumping out of the speakers.
And looking at the label, I realize it’s got the original title, The Beatles Again. At the last minute, they decided to change the album title to Hey Jude to cash-in on that hit single. With the super cool album jacket in full-size lp version and this snap/crackle/pop sound, I’m think this is a steal at twenty bucks. Then again I am a little nuts.

The television show Mad Men has won an army of fans for its portrayal of glamorous 1960s New York. Now The Beatles, the band which defined the decade, appears to have given the show their seal of approval.
The record label, Apple Corps, has given rare permission for the show to use one of the band's songs. The episode, aired on Sunday night in the US, featured Tomorrow Never Knows from the 1966 album Revolver.
Although cover versions have been used in TV shows, it is thought to be the first time that the record label, notoriously reticent in its licensing of Beatles songs, has allowed one of the Fab Four's tracks to be used in a television series.

Let It Be is an unashamed Beatles singalong fest at The Savoy Theatre in London. There is no awkward delay while the audience warms up with this non-stop hit machine - from the first word of the first song, I Saw Her Standing There, everyone - regardless of age -Is straight in there, celebrating 50 years of the greatest band the world has ever seen until the rousing finale Hey Jude.
