It's no secret that I love Paul McCartney. His new album came out yesterday and it's pretty fuck*ng good. He's been promoting the shit out of it too which is great for me because I've seen him performing on television at least a half a dozen times in the last few weeks.

I saw him at Nationals Park back in July. I'm not a HUGE McCartney/Beatles fan, but have sufficient respect and figured he's one of those guys you should see while you have the chance. And it was a good show--he played a wide variety of Beatles classics, Wings songs, and a few choice covers. A couple of slow spots for songs that the crowd didn't really know. But singing "Hey Jude" with 35K+ people was lovely, and they set off fireworks and flames an' shit during "Live and Let Die."

Hey Paul - so I got this album the day after it came out, but only had time to listen to it once. Well I've just listened to it again, and you're right - it's pretty fuck*ng good! Of his recent albums, it's not as good as Electric Arguments, but then, what is?

There's a lot of variety in the tracks. Some are predominantly electronic – "Appreciate" starts out sounding like a dance remix of "Because" – and some are acoustic ballads. "Queenie Eye" is a pretty fun song that's not quite like anything he's done before. And at least some of the songs have lyrics that aren't as tossed off as his lyrics can sometimes be – I particularly appreciated "On My Way To Work", as it starts out sounding like a tossed-off lyric ("On my way to work / I bought a magazine / Inside a pretty girl / Who liked to water-ski / She came from Chichester / To study history") but it actually turns out to be pretty sly: "She had removed her clothes / For the likes of me"!
