that means we might see more goodies from the past!

Ever Present Past

Well, the forum broke a record. 29 people on the Maccaspan forum at one time. Why?
To hear Paul's new single "Ever Present Past"

Thanks Maccaspanian's couldn't have picked a cooler bunch of people to hear it with!!!

Meyesight

Meyesight... What could it be? Well, it may be a branch off Paul McCartney.com or it may be a new website for Hear Music.
Either way, the site was up for a bit for testing, and it didn't take long for someone to stumble upon it!
It's down now for the moment. They are probably waiting to post the finished product. The
exciting part was that there were videos of Paul on there.

Keep checking out www.meyesight.com for more detail!

New Paul McCartney album tracklisting leaked?

What appears to be the tracklisting to Paul McCartney's new album, Memory Almost Full, has appeared on the website starbucksgossip.typepad.com. The unconfirmed information features the titles to the album's 12 tracks and a thumbnail description of the songs. The album is McCartney's first for the Starbucks/Concord Music Group's offshoot label Hear Music.

Interestingly, both McCartney's late wife Linda McCartney and Beatles bandmate John Lennon feature in the song titles. The reported opening track, titled "To Be Said," is from a 2001 poem McCartney published about Linda in his poetry book Blackbird Singing. "Pizza And Fairy Tales" was what Lennon accused McCartney of being during a mid-'70s phone argument. According to McCartney, Lennon once spat out at him that, "You're only pizza and fairytales." Since Lennon's death, McCartney has gone on record numerous times saying that it would make a great album title.

The Starbucks Gossip post reads in part:
"To Be Said" - Based on the poem. A short string quartet piece. Delicate.
"Bring The Dawn" - Huge production number, mellotrons to brass, booming drums.
"Memory Almost Full" - Nice pop song (see "Driving Rain"), likely (the)first single. Some electronica.
"Love Hear My Thunder" - (Rolling) Stones-like rocker. (Sounds like) peak Wings.
"Robber Of Soul" - Funky jazz/brass number, unlike anything in (McCartney's) catalog so far. "Cracks In The Earth" - Electric piano ballad, sounds like a Chaos And Creation In The Backyard track.
"Buy The Farm" - Solid rocker, Steve Miller-ish.
"It Happens Every Time" - Tight rocker, best song here.
"Silent Water" - Piano/organ/electronica song -- nice lyrics.
"God Damn Rock 'n Roll" - Sounds like a Back To The Egg outtake- almost punk.
"Pizza And Fairytales" - Most Beatle-esque. Reminds (me) of (McCartney's unreleased 1987 song)
"Return To Pepperland." "Pictures In Song Suite" - Almost 15 minutes. A true song suite, divided into four movements. Most people won't get how good this is.

The McCartney fansite macca-central.com reported that the domain memoryalmostfull.com was purchased by Concord Music Group on March 13th, and it's a safe bet that that will be the home page for the upcoming album. McCartney's Memory Almost Full will be released on June 5th

Wings & Beatle Elements Can Be Heard On New McCartney Album

Paul McCartney takes a look back at his life on his new album, which he worked on with Strokes producer David Kahne and which will be the first album released on Starbucks' new Hear Music label. McCartney played most of the instruments on this collage-style disc, which includes a fifteen-minute Abbey Road-style suite. "It's him being reflective," says Glen Barros, CEO of Starbucks partner Concord Music Group. "You can hear real elements of the Wings and Beatles eras."
