Beatles fans have long flocked to the Fab Four's hometown of Liverpool, perhaps calling in at the Cavern Club, where they found fame, or visiting the childhood homes of Lennon and McCartney.
But now there is a new must-see attraction, paying homage to one of the group's quirkiest and best-known songs, a yellow submarine.
Fans looking for the full Beatles experience can book accommodation in the unusual hotel, which is painted to look like the vessel on the cover of their record Yellow Submarine, and floats on a mooring in Albert Dock.

Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen silenced at London concert -
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Bruce Springsteen may be The Boss and Paul McCartney a British knight, but that apparently means little when your set runs too long in London. At the climax of his three-hour set at Hyde Park, Springsteen introduced the former Beatle. “I’ve been waiting for this for 50 years,” Springsteen told the cheering throng. details
Former Capitol Records exec remembers meeting John Lennon -
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Steve Meyer, now publisher of the newsletter DISC & DigitalAudioTechnology (Music & Digital Audio/Video News), worked at Capitol Records from 1969 to 1983.
When he left the company, he was National Promotion Director. He had a platinum award for John Lennon's “Imagine” album and gold records for “Love Songs” and “Reel Music” on his office wall.
“I worked at Capitol Records for 14 years in National Promotion and was a member of our in-house 'Beatles Committee' that oversaw all new releases and repackages,” he said.
During that time, he met all of the Beatles except Ringo Starr. His encounters with George Harrison and Paul McCartney were brief, he admits.

Ringo Starr turns 72 in Nashville with peace, love -
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
The 1960s mop top is gone, but Ringo Starr is still flashing a peace sign.
The former Beatle marked his 72nd birthday in Nashville Saturday by holding a "peace and love" moment at noon. He asked people worldwide to do the same at 12 o'clock in their time zones.
The idea came to him in 2008 when an interviewer asked him what he wanted for his birthday. Since then, he has held events each year in cities such as New York, Chicago and Hamburg, Germany.
"It's sort of catching on more and more, the more we do," Starr said before the festivities. "We got lots of blogs from Japan and China and all over the world saying, 'We did peace and love.' So it's working."

Paul McCartney Is Writing Music With Bungie -
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Paul McCartney, whose credits include The Beatles, posted the above image along with a quote about working with Bungie on his Facebook page.
The quote from Sir Paul McCartney says, “I’m really excited to be working on writing music with Bungie, the studio that made Halo.” The man on the left in the image above is Martin O'Donnell, the man behind Halo's unforgettable score.
It's a surprising partnership, but McCartney is not a complete stranger to the world of video games. He was invovled in the production of The Beatles: Rock Band, but I imagine that whatever Bungie is currently working on, it's probably much different than a rhythm game honoring the legacy of The Beatles. As a huge Beatles fan, and huge Bungie fan, I cannot wait to find out more about... whatever this is.
