i love that movie......:uhoh:

 

but the original songs are much better of course :heart:

i refuse to watch across the universe the movie. i've seen clips and heard bits of songs and can't stand what they've done to the songs... actually makes me sick

 

i like it a lot!

what?:shocked2:

 

well i guess it's because i've grown up with the beatles for my whole life, so anything outside of that is different I don't like... ex. across the universe, those cover songs on commercials, etc.

Bleh, Across the Universe (the movie) :sick:

 

oh yeah... i remember u mentioning the internship. i'd like to know more!

 

woohooooo! I haven't gotten to tell anyone about it in a while :D

 

I had a 2-week internship with them :) I mostly helped out with merchandise and archives. I helped a lot with photographing and organizing their merchandise, because it's such a mess! They keep a copy of every single piece of merchandise in a storage center, and I got to go there and help them a lot which was super awesome! that's also where they keep some of the original recordings, and every photo, and the original films... so awesome :wacko: I can't post pictures of that stuff though, that'd be illegal :P oh, and at the end of my internship they let me go through the merchandise cabinets and take everything/anything I wanted, I ended up with over $1000 worth of merchandise :lol:

 

but of course, the biggest thing was that they got me a personal tour of Abbey Road Studios with the manager of all of the Beatles projects :D I knew about the remasters before any of the public, which was awesome :P I went to all 3 studios, played John's and Paul's pianos in Studio 2, and met lots of important Beatles-Abbey Road-people. It was HEAVEN!

 

*tries to cut myself off*

 

but yeah, everyone at Apple was SUPER nice and gave me the most amazing stuff to do :wacko: I'll post some pictures, hold on :escaping:

The Beatles were the first good band I liked

Bleh, Across the Universe (the movie) :sick:

wow... i'm so envious! I wish I could've done that! That's so awesome that you got to play instruments that Lennon and McCartney both touched. No to mention being in the vicinity where they recorded most of their music! So Lucky!

yeah, my ultimate dream had been to go to Studio 2, and my supervisor at Apple arranged the trip for me as a surprise :nice: See, earlier in my internship we'd run over to Abbey Road on an errand, but we didn't go past reception and I was so disappointed :( So he called people up and all of Apple worked together to get me this tour :wacky: It was incredible- when I walked into Studio 2 I burst out sobbing :P It looks EXACTLY the same, and it's just so... historic :wacko:

 

Here it is:

 

and here's an unattractive picture of me playing the piano from, among other things, Lady Madonna and A Day in the Life:

 

 

and I'm not sure how many pictures I should post of Apple cause I'm not sure they should be floating around the internet, but here's the reception area:

 

 

(the company's really small, only about 15 people)
