por Izadora Pimenta Se fosse uma pessoa comum, Sir James Paul McCartney poderia muito bem estar agora tendo a sua vidinha pacata de um típico senhor inglês, cuidando de sua numerosa família e de sua mais nova esposa. Talvez ele aparecesse nos jornais uma vez ou outra dando alguma declaração em defesa aos direitos dos animais, mas ninguém, além das pessoas mais próximas de seu convívio, ficaria ansioso para ler essa tal declaração. Ele seria um cara legal, cuja maior preocupação talvez fosse cuidar do jardim de sua casa, ou comprar bilhetes para [...]

Before she makes her highly anticipated appearance at The Grammys , Katy Perry will sing at Paul McCartney's MusiCares "Person Of The Year" ceremony in Los Angeles on February 10. In addition to Perry, the benefit will boast performances from Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Foo Fighters and Tony Bennett — as well as McCartney, who will promote his new album Kisses On The Bottom . Tickets for the event range from $1,500 to $100,000, with proceeds donated to MusiCares, an organization that provides assistance to musicians in financial or personal crisis.

On Tuesday afternoon, Spinner caught up with the Beatles legend during a break in rehearsals for ' The Late Late Show ' to chat about his new album, 'Ringo 2012,' which is out now via Universal. Full of laughter and [...]
The original Wings drummer takes flight on a funky, soulful jazz album.

El polémicamente titulado disco de Paul McCartney , Kisses On The Bottom , puede ser escuchado entero online. Terminó la espera. Luego de conocer muchos detalles del nuevo disco del bajista Beatle , por fin podemos juzgarlo por lo que contiene y no por su nombre. El disco de covers que a su vez incluye dos canciones propias con colaboraciones e Eric Clapton y Stevie Wonder saldrá a la venta el 6 o 7 de febrero, pero gracias a NPR podemos [...]

It's been quite a while since I've delved in the world of album covers in my ongoing album art lover series, but I was inspired by Sharon Van Etten's sleeve for her brilliant new album, Tramp (which is streaming on NPR today by the way) to explore the ever-popular face cover. They say that 93% of communication is non-verbal, which perhaps explains why the face-cover has endured for so long. You can usually get a good idea of the album you're about to hear by the expression and composition of the [...]

Phil writes: It would be very hard to write a Valentine's song as great as Steve Earle's sublime 'Valentine's Day' but this effort of Paul's shows he can still turn out a very good song: There's a decent version of 'I'm going to sit right down and write myself a letter' on the album 'Kisses on the bottom' which takes its title from the Fats Waller song. I think, though, that the original has even more to offer:

Em 2011, o orgulho de muitos Beatlemaníacos brasileiros foi afirmar que haviam visto 50% da lendária banda ao vivo, através de turnês de Paul McCartney e Ringo Starr . Agora, esses fãs tem a chance de reviver essa emoção em um só dia. Afinal, curiosamente, os novos trabalhos de estúdio dos dois garotos de Liverpool foram liberados para audição gratuita no mesmo dia. Mas os dois streamings estão isolados geograficamente por um oceano. Enquanto o novo álbum de covers de Paul McCartney , que leva o nome irreverente de Kisses on the bottom [...]

The musical superduo Ashtar Command, composed of Chris Holmes (Sir Paul McCartney's go to DJ) and Brian Liesegang (Founding member of Filter) first showed up on our radar with a track on the PS3 game 'Red Dead Redemption'. Their debut album 'American Sunshine' was an unexpected and delightful revelation. Chief Cougar Microbes collaborator Kyle hailed it [...]

1966 film score from McCartney is less art than artifact. August 1966 saw the Beatles deliver what would be their final live performance. Shortly thereafter the Fab Four took a break of sorts -- John Lennon flew to Spain to star in How I Won The War (Ringo flew over later to lend support), George Harrison traveled to India and, somewhere in all of this, Paul McCartney worked with George Martin on the soundtrack to The Family Way. Based on the 1963 play by Bill...

Jhameel clearly isn't afraid to tread in any 'sacred' territory of Pop music. His cover of Sir Paul's "Blackbird" is a breathy and soulful adaptation that seems to share the same type of appreciation for The Beatles catalog as say, perhaps, a young MJ may have. Preview the song and watch his performance of it below. Jhameel - Blackbird (Beatles Cover) Jhameel ( Facebook ) The Beatles ( iTunes ) [...]

Não é só o mundo do cinema que tira o tapete vermelho do armário poeirento nos inícios de ano, e menos de um mês nos separa da grande festa de gala do mundo da música, os Grammy Awards. A cerimônia de 2011 foi imperdível, e tudo indica que 2012 repetirá o feito (mesmo não contando com Arcade Fire e suas bicicletas no palco). A academia já havia anunciado a primeira bateria de artistas que se apresentarão nos palcos do Staples Center, um time que inclui Foo Fighters , Nicki Minaj , Bruno [...]
