Michael Jackson har endret sitt testamente. Komponistrettigheten e i Northern Songs skal gå tilbake til Paul McCartney. Jackson er for tiden alvorlig syk.
Eg prøver å overtale foreldrene mine til å spandere tur til Liverpools Beatles festival i August som en tidelig bursdags gave. Krysser fingerene for at eg klarer å tvinge et ja ut av de.
Så er turen til Beatlesfestivalen i Liverpool i August i boks. Det blir 5 netter i Liverpool, fra onsdag 26/8. Det ligger vel i korta at det blir et eller annet på Casbah siden det nøyaktig er 50 år siden de åpnet i slutten av august? Er det noen andre som har planer om å dra?
DANCE TONIGHT VIDEO TO AIR ON YOUTUBE.COM - 21.05.2007
A PAUL McCARTNEY WORLD PREMIERE NEW VIDEO "DANCE TONIGHT" TO AIR ON MAY 23rd EXCLUSIVELY ON YouTube
Paul McCartney"s new music video "Dance Tonight", from his soon to be released 21st studio recording "Memory Almost Full", will be internationally premiered on YouTube on May 23rd. This will be the first screening of the video anywhere in the world. Filmed in London last March, the video stars Paul McCartney, Natalie Portman and Mackenzie Crook. It was directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind). It will be available to watch on YouTube from 12 noon (UK time) on Wednesday May 23rd.
Paul explained, "I had seen 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' that Michel had directed and had really liked it. I thought it had a good sense of humour and was a very well-made film. His work is really simple, witty and just good fun. The connection with Natalie came from my daughter Stella, who makes non-leather shoes that Natalie buys, so I just thought, "Well, I'll ring her up and just see if she'll do it". So I rang her up and said "Hey I'm Stella's dad!" She had a bit of time off as she was between films so it was great. I mentioned that I wanted to work with Michel Gondry and it turned out that Natalie was a fan of his."
With its community of millions of worldwide users, YouTube is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos through a Web experience. The video for "Dance Tonight" will be featured and promoted through the "Director Videos" slots, which sit at the top of the homepage.
"Dance Tonight" is built around a mandolin part. The mandolin also plays an important part in the video. Natalie Portman appears as a futurist electronic ghost that reacts to the sound of the mandolin. As the video develops more ghosts appear. All the ghost effects are done in camera: the ghosts are actually evolving in front of a glass separation that reflects their image into the shot. This technique is based on smoke and mirror effects of magic tricks (known as the Pepper"s Ghost effect) and other early cinema effects. The results are stunning and give the effect of realism that can"t be obtained with post-production effects.
"Dance Tonight" is the opening track on Paul"s new studio album "Memory Almost Full", (UK release June 4th/US Release June 5th). "Memory Almost Full" is Paul McCartney's 21st solo album. It will be the first release on new Hear Music (the label formed between Starbucks Entertainment and Concord Music Group).
