Pop Culture Roundup April 30, 2007

Paul McCartney talks about his upcoming album, due out June 5.

The 13-track set is due June 5 in North America via Starbucks' new Hear Music label and will also be the first McCartney album to ever be available digitally.

..."Memory Almost Full" concludes with a five-song medley end "and that was purposefully retrospective," McCartney says. "I thought this might be because I'm at this point in my life, but then I think about the times I was writing with John (Lennon) and a lot of that was also looking back. It's like me with 'Penny Lane' and 'Eleanor Rigby' -- I'm still up to the same tricks!"


The album is available for pre-order now from Amazon.

There's also a deluxe version available, featuring a scond disk including three bonus tracks, "audio commentary" by Paul and six fold-out postcard-size photos.
