  • EMI has won a temporary injunction against BlueBeat, the digital-music vendor selling Beatles tracks without permission. According to Billboard, a temporary restraining order demands the company cease selling all EMI tracks, including Beatles songs. A legal Beatles release — a special edition vinyl of Abbey Road — will be available this weekend as part of Record Store Day.

  • Echo and the Bunnymen have posted a Website update that explains they’ve cut their U.S. tour short due to “unreasonable” IRS demands, but not a visa problem.
  • The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will perform their 2003 debut Fever to Tell in its entirety at the U.K.’s 10th anniversary ATP Festival, which goes down December 11th through 13th.
  • George Michael’s first-ever live DVD hits stores Sunday. Live in London features 23 songs from a pair of shows on the singer’s final 25 Live Tour including his cover of the Police’s “Roxanne.”

So without BlueBeat, we will have to resort back to BitTorrent for Beatles MP3’s…labels are still clueless….

No Jungleland2…

YOU can resort to BUYING THE CDS, and ripping them to mp3 yourself!

Stop stealing music, a-hole!

If you can take the time to find the BitTorrent files illegally, you can also take the time to go to Amazon, and order the damn CDs legitimately.

If you want to listen to the Beatles how they were originally meant to be heard, do yourself a favor and buy their vinyl records and listen to them, crackle and pops included.
