John, Paul, George and Ringo are back together. Well, sort of. Today they debuted
The Beatles Remasters digital music collections and The Beatles: Rock Band video game.

First there’s The Beatles Remasters Mono Box Set. It’s probably the most prized of the two sets. It contains 10 albums – from Please Please Me to Let It Be – as well as the original 1965 stereo mixes of Help! and Rubber Soul, previously unreleased until now.

The Beatles Remasters Stereo Box Set comprises 14 discs that have been cleaned up with more clarity and sharpness. Early reviews say the stereo separation is clean and not artificial. The whole package comes in a beautifully crafted box (see above) with each one in a digipack reproducing the original artwork.

Then there’s ‘The Beatles: Rock Band’ video game. Available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, it includes 45 different songs, historic Beatles performance venues, and 3D representations of the band members, along with the standard ‘Rock Band’ gameplay. The object is to match the on-screen notes: If you see a green guitar note, you have to hold down the green fret and hit the strum bar. Drummers need to pound colored drumheads, while singers need to match pitch and phrasing. The premium bundle ($250) includes all the gear you need, but you can use instruments from previous ‘Rock Band’ or ‘Guitar Hero’ games.

What’s different about SingStand is its unique design. The stand has a circular iPod dock in its middle and a microphone on the top. The amplifier and two speakers are at the base, with the powered, handheld, dynamic mic being connected via a 10 foot cable to the main system that’s at the base. You connect the iPod via the headphone plug, two microphone inputs as well as a guitar/keyboard line input.

Once everything is set up, you plug in any iPod, pick a tune from your library, and the ‘Auto Voice Control’ feature will filter out the original vocals so that you can do your Frank Sinatra impression over the top of any song. Oh, and if you need reverb to improve things with that concert hall sound, it’s got that too.

Chinese Democracy has become more than the Guns N’ Roses Album that too 17 years to make. It’s grown into a myth, a legend. But on November 23rd, the anticipation finally ends.

Axl Rose has pulled together Tommy Stinson (from The Replacements), Dizzy Reed, Bumblefoot, Chris Pitma, Richard Fortus, and Frank Ferrer to carry out his mission: “To make rock dangerous again”!

G’n'F’n'R!

Remember back in high-school, when you took your favorite tapes, and put them into a tape player with two tape decks, and made a custom mix tape for your special someone?

That’s what Muxtape lets you do online with MP3s.

Yep, the mix tape is back folks, but this time, it’s called Muxtape.

We love it, and we’re convinced every geek will too…

Excuse me while I go find my Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison cassette and relive some old times.

Enjoy…
