Today was sort of a good news/bad news kind of day, wasn't it?

First, we got that new Eminem video, which speaks for itself.

Oh wait, no it doesn't. It doesn't say anything. I think I know how Weezer fans felt when the green album came out (I got on that bus late. I was like... 15, gimme a break). Except, I really doubt the new Eminem album will be half the awesomeness the green album is. He says he's got material for 2 albums this year, people. That means Eminem's output will be 6x the length of Weezer's third album. Guy's gotta put, like, 2 kids through college in a couple years, right?

BUT... Beatles remasters, due on 09/09/09! This is going to be amazing, since the CDs don't sound that great and hearing Abbey Road on vinyl was like having the heavens come down and give you the secrets to the universe and the universe is all good and life will be alright and the afterlife has unicorns and you can ride the unicorns while playing Space Invaders and *amhem*

I will gladly let myself get ripped off by EMI/Capitol for this. Makes me glad I didn't buy into their continuing series of ways to financially rape Radiohead's fans.

At least we know The Beatles are limited to 24 CDs worth of material, the way they have it planned.
