April is Coming

UPDATE: MikeyNL1038 is the one doing the "enhanced" versions of the Rotten Apple Videos. The two links below are for comparison.
Comparison 1
Comparison 2
_________________________________________________________________________________

A couple sources have told me that Iamaphoney is promising that the month of April will be "interesting." I did not hear this information directly, but I have observed that April does seem to be a significant month for Iamaphoney-related activity.

If you recall, it was April 10 of last year when the heavily touted Iamaphoney interview failed to take place. It is possible that this year something even bigger won't happen.



A new YouTube account has appeared offering what it calls "Enhanced" versions of Rotten Apple videos. iamaphoneyHD has uploaded the first 55 Rotten Apple videos as of this writing.

For an idea of the visual enhancement, see the comparison pictures below:

Original version


Enhanced version


I have not viewed all of the videos yet, but please drop a comment if any new details emerge from these versions. I do not know the identity of iamaphoneyHD.

Seth Swirsky, who was the subject of a Rotten Apple-related video (Ringo Song) last year has his own YouTube channel. His music is very Beatley and his channel has some other Beatle Connections.

  10. Mikey, now you are beeing pathetic.

    You know very well that the whole game is based on those big announcements like "the big revelation", "february 2008" "october 2008", "soon", "something big is gonna happen", etc. etc.

    What will we get?

    Another video of flickering images, combined with Beatle-bootlegs, and maybe another shot of skinny-guy wandering around throwing suitcases all over the place...

    See ya in two weeks.

  13. Life is not a highway strewn with flowers,
    Still it holds a goodly share of bliss,
    When the sun gives way to April showers,
    Here is the point you should never miss.

    Though April showers may come your way,
    They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
    So if it's raining, have no regrets,
    Because it isn't raining rain, you know, (It's raining violets,)

    And where you see clouds upon the hills,
    You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
    So keep on looking for a blue bird, And list'ning for his song,
    Whenever April showers come along.

  21. Um..it's clearly a game. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

  22. With hope like this, who needs hope?

    ReplyDelete
  23. In addition to being the date that the famed Iamaphoney interview did not take place...

    April 10, 2008, as Tafultong has reminded us on several occasions, was also the first anniversary of Neil Aspinall's resignation from Apple -- so, of course, April 10, 2009 will be the second anniversary.

    In one whimsical bit of fancy, Tafultong once wrote of an imaginary conversation in March 2008 between the two lead Danish Iamaphoney "suspects" and
    a dying Aspinall in which Aspinall essentially orders them not to go through with the April 10 interview because he doesn't want to be connected with it, as a result of the significance of that date.

    Presumaby, Iamaphoney has some or all of this in mind when he indicates that three videos are coming out April 10, 2009 (if that's what he's really indicating), though I again note bemusedly that he is no longer asserting that he is on the verge of producing "foorp"

  26. "NYNY"

    What? It's up to you, New York New York? Location of the next suitcase?
    It will be at Grand Central Station so that it doesn't stand out too much.
    Of course the Port Authority cops will think it's a bomb, and make a big deal of it.
    When they open it up and find warped copies of "The Magic Christian" album, they may actually wonder how long it has been there!
    And when they see the Rotten Apple links to it they'll assume that terrorists left it because of course anyone who calls "The Big Apple" rotten, must be a terrorist. (Better watch out Mick Jagger {Miss You}).

    Yeah...he should definitely leave one there. It will make the news.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'll call the station master and say I left my suitcase, and has anyone found it? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  29. If you hate IAAP you WANT him to throw another magic suitcase around.

    If you love IAAP you WANT him to provide "foorp".

    So far he's only been doing what the h8ters want. If he had any brains he would NOT break out the suitcases. As HaHaHaPaulIsDead wrote when he accused IAAP of selling luggage "What are you doing? Showing off your inventory?" lol

  53. Westport is one of the most affluent communities in the United States and is home to significant cultural attractions, including the Westport Country Playhouse a longtime regional theater, the unique Levitt Pavilion providing free concerts, a strong arts council, the Westport Public Library, and a heritage as a former artists' colony.



    "A Stop at Willoughby" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling cited this as his favorite story from the first season of the series.

    Closing narration
    "Willoughby? Maybe it's wishful thinking nestled in a hidden part of a man's mind, or maybe it's the last stop in the vast design of things, or perhaps, for a man like (you know who), who climbed on a world that went by too fast, it's a place around the bend where he could jump off. Willoughby? Whatever it is, it comes with sunlight and serenity, and is a part of the Twilight Zone."

    “ In this library, a certain professor sells things: ointments, sèves, powders, sovereign remedies, nectars, concoctions, decoctions, and potions all guaranteed. Next week, he'll sell one to a lover boy so that he can slip an affectionate mickey into the champagne of his lady love. It sets up a most bizarre and very unexpected chain of events. On The Twilight Zone next week, "The Chaser."

  59. Love for MikeNL :)

    Mike I appreciate your efforts even though I have no faith in Iamaphoney left at all. Seems like the jury's out for you concerning whether or not Paul actually died and was replaced (as it is for Tafultong too). I don't believe he did die myself. If anything Iamaphoney has helped me to get to this point so I suppose I should grudgingly thank him. Anyway always enjoyed your music and that you're a Beatle fan first.

    The point being that Paul did not die nor was he replaced and that the more extreme PID theories are nonsense or the wishful thinking of some very disturbed individuals who will no doubt uncork a bottle of champagne when Paul really does die.

  71. Paul and Ringo were sitting at the bar, and Ringo says to Paul, "Whoever dies first between the two of us, come back and tell the other one that there's life after death."
    "Sounds good to me" says Paul.
    Three years later Paul kicks the bucket.
    Ringo waits and waits for a ghostly visit, but it never happens.
    Five years later Ringo dies, and meets Paul in heaven.
    "Why didn't you come back and tell me?" says Ringo.
    "Oh!", Paul says, "I thought you knew: I was already dead when we made the agreement!"
