VIDEO: Paul McCartney filmed a video for the song "Queenie Eye" from the album at Abbey Road Studios this week using fans who applied through his website and several celebrities, including Johnny Depp, according to Richard Porter of Beatles in London.com. Porter said he also saw Kate Moss and Meryl Streep at the studio. According to a story in the UK Guardian, no meat, non-prescription drugs or use of social media was allowed.
MAGAZINES: Paul McCartney is on the cover of this week's NME Magazine in the UK. He talks, of course, about the “New” album, coming Oct. 14 in the UK and Oct. 15 in the U.S. And according to Bob Dylan Examiner Harold Lepidus, McCartney will also be on the cover of an upcoming Rolling Stone that will also feature Howard Stern sidekick Robin Quivers talking about how she has been declared cancer free. The deluxe version of the album can be ordered on iTunes and on Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.co.uk and Walmart.. You can order “New” on vinyl at Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.jp and Amazon.co.uk.
THE OLD "NEW": Remember the supposed track list for the McCartney album earlier this year that we reported was a fake? Just for old times sake, here it is: "Loving You," "Hosanna," "Eye of the Storm," "Down the Road," "Come With Me," "Life of a Party Girl," "A Sparrow's Song," "Sting of My Tears," "A Blue Sky," "Little Girl," "I Believe," "All of My Life," "Blindside," "Sunny Day," "April Fool's Day." Besides the fact that "Hosanna" was the only track that was right (since it was mentioned in interviews), notice that also there was "Life of a Party Girl," which is awfully close to "Secret Life of a Party Girl" which still surfaced recently in rumors for a possible bonus track.
