Hey, Beatlemaniacs!!

TODAY'S A BIG DAY! Today marks the 48th anniversary of The Beatles' arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The Beatles initially did not want to visit the U.S. Some British groups had visited the U.S. before The Beatles but the novelty of British Rock and Roll and Skiffle just didn't hit big with American audiences. The Beatles had discussed with manager, Brian Epstein, that they would not even consider America until they had a Number One song in the U.S. Sure enough on January 18, 1964 "I Want To Hold Your Hand" charted at number 45 and by February 1 the song had hit Number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and ultimately held the top spot for seven weeks. A few days later, on February 7, The Beatles were greeted by approximately three thousand screaming fans at JFK Airport. Beatlemania had officially hit America!!

WAIT, THERE'S MORE NEWS!! THE BIG BEAT returns in a few days on February 9th! That day also marks the day The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and took the rest of the U.S. by storm!

SAVE THE DATE & TIME!! THE BIG BEAT w/ Bob Vincent; Returns Thursday, February 9 @ 12p PT/ 3p ET ONLY on MtRockRadio.com.

A Near-Cookie Experience and An Arm-Flailing Kudos From TheBeatleSubmarine

Hey, Beatlemaniacs!

So this week in TheBeatleSubmarine, Sunday Submariner, Karen, did a contest in which the viewer had to guess which song she was lip-syncing. If you got them all right, she'd give you a cookie. So I figured I'd give it a try. I got 'em all right except "Your Song" by Elton John. I mistakingly said "Daniel's Song!" Whoops. Oh, well no cookie for me this time! But In Karen's recent video she named me runner-up and promoted THE BIG BEAT in her vid! YAY!!!

Also, coming back from her two week absence was Thurday Submariner, Nicole. She promised gratuitous amounts of randomness and, boy, did she deliver! From funny Beatles pics to drawing Paul with her eyes closed, This video delivered rendomness by the spoonful. She then gave me and THE BIG BEAT a thumbs up and an arm-flailing kudos!!

Check out these videos below and more on TheBeatleSubmarine YouTube channel!

Karen - Sunday Submariner


Nicole - Thursday Submariner


Thanks, girls, for the support!!

THE BIG BEAT on TheBeatleScruffs & The BeatleSubmarine

Hey, Beatlemaniacs!

So with one show under wraps and it's podcast(see below) streaming 24/7, THE BIG BEAT has already shown promise. I can safely say that THE BIG BEAT has international fans! YAY! Recently THE BIG BEAT Premiere episode was talked about in both a BeatleScruffs and a BeatleSubmarine video. I would like to thank both YouTube channels for showing their support for THE BIG BEAT! The teens and young adults that manage each channel are a bright group of Beatle-enthusiasts and I'm glad that we can do our part to promote eachothers' ventures.

So check out the vids below but PLEASE check out the TheBeatleScruffs and TheBeatleSubmarine on YouTube.

Carly; former Sunday Scruff, now Friday Scruff

Amy; Monday Submariner

THANK YOU, LADIES, FOR THE SUPPORT AND FOR THE MENTION!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, ALL OF YOU! ((°J°))

THE BIG BEAT Premiere Podcast

Here's the first edition of THE BIG BEAT! A few bumps and dings here and there, but a pretty good first show, if I say so myself. It will only get better :-)

Thank you to all that listened live and thank you to those who didn't but will still listen to the podcasts! Needless to say, The Beatles have an international following. So it's only fair to make THE BIG BEAT available to all time zones via the podcasts. Enjoy and please feel free to leave any feedback bellow in the comments.

THE BIG BEAT Promoted on TheBeatleScruffs YouTube Channel

Hey, Beatlemaniacs!

As you know, THE BIG BEAT is coming soon to Audio8ball.com! Well, a couple weeks back I discovered two really special YouTube Channels; "TheBeatleScruffs" and "TheBeatleSubmarine", A group of teen Beatlemaniacs who record daily videos featuring Beatles topics, discussions, opinions, reviews... BEATLES TALK OF ALL SORTS! I love seeing younger generations take the time to apply their passion for The Beatles and turn it into a unique, expressive, and insightful venture. You'd be very surprised how knowledgeable they are on The Beatles' aesthetic and history! These kids are too cool!

Well, recently Carly, the Sunday Scruff, and Fishy, Friday's Scruff, promoted THE BIG BEAT! (which you can see below) I'm so grateful for the interest they have shown THE BIG BEAT! In return I will promote them regularly on the radio show. I will produce recaps/teasers of their vids and play them on the show.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THEIR CHANNELS! You're sure to fall in love with their vids!

Thank you to the Scruffs and the Submariners for sharing their love of The Beatles with the world!

THE BIG BEAT

ONLY ON http://www.audio8ball.com/

ROLL UP, ROLL UP!!

Hello, hello!! I'm Bob Vincent and welcome to THE BIG BEAT BLOG!! Let's get you acquainted with myself and the purpose of "THE BIG BEAT". I'm an Multiple Award-winning broadcaster with an undying passion for Rock and Roll, vinyl records, and The Beatles, which has been helpful in the development of THE BIG BEAT. THE BIG BEAT showcases the career-spanning music of The Beatles as well as their solo works, cover songs, and even their kids' and wives' music. The Beatles definitely speak for themselves, but in addition to the tunes I will also have in-studio guests ranging from Beatles-tribute acts to Beatlemaniacs like you and I.

I was born decades after The Beatles existed. As a young'n, I want to help bridge the generational gap between Rock and Roll fans. I also wish to further explore and understand The Beatles' universe by deeply immersing my heart and mind in The Beatles' music and the stories of those who were actually around to hear the latest Beatles record. I greatly look forward to sharing this timeless music with all of you!

So that's my deal. If you have any questions, concerns, requests, comments, or simply want to say "HI", feel more that free to drop me a line. Keep a lookout regularly. You never know what wacky thing I may post next.
