Paul McCartney, Press Releases

PRINT YOUR VERY OWN 3D PAUL McCARTNEY

03/17/2015 nastysite

NEWS FROM PAULMcCARTNEY.COM HQ:

We spend as much time as possible in our lab coats, stroking our chins and pacing the office thinking up new and fun things to do with Paul here at PaulMcCartney.com. Sometimes these ideas happen very quickly, and others can take several months, even years until the perfect opportunity presents itself.

One of the technologies we’ve been excited by in recent years is 3D printing, named by some as the ‘Third Industrial Revolution’. The thinking here is that in the coming years we will all begin to see 3D printed objects appearing in our daily lives creating items such as machine parts, bone and limb replacements, clothing and even food. It is no overstatement to say the possibilities are pretty much endless!

So as soon as we heard that Paul had been scanned in 3D for his innovative ‘Hope For The Future’ music video, we asked if we could get hold of the file.

From this scan of Paul we were able to turn him into a 3D printable figure.

We’re really excited to say the file is now available to any fan who wishes to try making their own!

If you’d like to get your own 3D Paul printed off, you have two options: either find a local or online printing company who can make it for you; or, if you have access to a 3D printer, you can try printing your own!

Here‘s a time-lapse video of the process.

If you’d like to make your own 3D Paul, download the .stl file of Paul by clicking HERE! [Please note, this file is around 50MB in size]

PHILIP SELWAY U.S. DATES TO FEATURE ADEM AS SPECIAL GUEST

03/12/2015 nastysite

Philip Selway has confirmed the addition of Adem as special guest for his upcoming dates in New York, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco.

A post-rock icon as half of Fridge and member of the Silver Columns, Adem has released three acclaimed nufolk/folktronica albums as a solo artist on the Domino label with a fourth on the way. Adem’s remix and production efforts have included work with artists as diverse as Sia, Explosions In The Sky, Underworld, Foals, and of course his work on Philip’s sophomore album, Weatherhouse.

Released in the fall of 2014, Weatherhouse was described by Stereogum as “a pop record with an artful touch that further develops his tender emotional spin on expansively moody sounds” and hailed by Rolling Stone as “a sweeping suite full of moody psychedelic arrangements.”

The album’s material, as well as songs from Philip’s solo debut Familial, will be brought to life for the first time on U.S. stages next month when Philip and his band of Adem Ilhan (backing Philip as well as opening the headline dates), Kath Mann (a/k/a Quinta) and Chris Vatalaro play four American headline shows as well as the two-weekend Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. The U.S. run begins April 10 at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City with an early evening performance: Doors will open at 6 pm, with Adem on stage at 7 pm and Philip on at 8 pm.

Tickets for the upcoming dates can be purchased here.

THIRD MAN BOOKS ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH CONSORTIUM BOOK SALES & DISTRIBUTION

03/11/2015 nastysite

Consortium Book Sales & Distribution (Consortium), exclusive distributor of leading independent publishers and a member of the Perseus Books Group, is pleased to announce it reached a deal to distribute Third Man Books in the United States and Canada effective March 1, 2015.
Third Man Books is an extension both philosophically and literally of Third Man Records, founded by musician Jack White in 2001 in Nashville, Tennessee. The physical location opened in 2009 and quickly evolved from a music label into a complete in-house hub for art-making and dream-chasing. Third Man’s mission is to support the creation and distribution of any and every form of expression, from music to poetry, fiction to film. In this spirit, Third Man Books was established in 2014 to further explore the music of language.

“Third Man Books will continue in the manufacture and sale of beautiful things. Those things being books,” note co-founders Chet Weise and Ben Swank (also co-founder of Third Man Records). “Much like the identity of our multiple Grammy-winning record label, Third Man Books will be based on adventure, bordering on recklessness, yet bound by craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.” The press plans to print contemporary poetry, literary fiction, photography, biography, and more. With all TMB titles, there will be audio/video components and also craftsmanship to complement the work and love the author has paid to her/his words.

TMB’s first book was the ambitious Language Lessons, published last summer. A hardbound anthology comprised of three hundred pages of poetry and prose from notables ranging from Pulitzer and National Book Award finalists C.D. Wright, Adrian Matejka, and Dale Ray Phillips, to punk rock progenitors Richard Hell and Tav Falco, the collection also features two vinyl LPs of music and five frame-worthy broadsides. Upcoming Fall books include Hidden Water by Frank Stanford, a companion to Copper Canyon Press’ highly anticipated poetry collection, What About This. Described as “outtakes,”Hidden Water: From the Frank Stanford Archive includes a selection of unpublished poems and features facsimiles of drafts, letters, and artwork, plus a download of Stanford reading his poem “The Boathouse.” Both books will be the subject of a major feature in the May issue of Men’s Journal.

Another upcoming title is The Truth is We Are Perfect by Janaka Stucky, an ex-mortician, 2010 National Haiku Champion, and “Boston’s Best Poet” (the Boston Phoenix). Stucky will be reading on multiple dates with bestselling author Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket). Also publishing in the Fall isPain: The Board Game by Sampson Starkweather. A book of poetry featuring a board game called “Pain,”Pain is dark, with touches of hysterical humor, and is modeled on the popular 1970s board game Life.

“While some may believe Third Man’s devil-may-care celebration of enduring artistry a recipe for twenty-first century disaster, Jack White, myself, and Chet Weise consider it natural,” affirms Ben Swank, co-founder, Third Man Records and Third Man Books. “Many thought Third Man Records’ dedication to the The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records Volume 1–2 project was borderline funny-farm, but we only saw it as necessary, and won a 2015 Grammy Award. The same ethos drives TMR’s involvement in the renaissance of vinyl records, which are now breaking sales records. Our hope is that Third Man Books creates a new kind of literary community that we can learn from and add something back. In Consortium we find a kindred, independent partner who has a far reach and gets the job done, and also answers the phone to say, ‘Hello, how are you.'”

Julie Schaper, president and COO of Consortium, comments: “I love the bridge Third Man is trying to create between records and books. We’ve often thought indie music fans overlap with indie fiction fans and Third Man Books is proving that notion true. I look forward to a long, fruitful partnership that generates lots of new ideas and creative collaboration.”

“It’s a great honor to welcome Third Man Books into the Perseus and Consortium family,” notes David Steinberger, president and CEO of the Perseus Books Group. “We, and the publishing industry, just got a lot hipper with their foray into the literary world. I am confident Consortium can offer the best springboard for Third Man to continue to surprise audiences and defy expectations.”

Consortium Book Sales & Distribution, home to a community of award-winning publishers, believes in the power of independent voices. We strive to share new ideas—some that may otherwise not be discovered—with the world.

Consortium—Where Independent Publishers Live

About Third Man Books
Multi-Grammy-winning musician Jack White, along with Ben Swank (co-founders of Third Man Records), and Chet Weise (co-founder, Third Man Books) all shared the stage in their respective rock bands in the not-so-distant past. With the August 2014 release of Third Man Books’ first literary publication, Language Lessons: Volume I, a multimedia box set of prose, poetry, and music, Third Man Books launched for the future. Echoing Third Man Records’ reverence for music and commitment to innovation, Third Man Books is dedicated to publishing the best in language with the same level of respect, skill, and audaciousness.

JACK WHITE: BILLBOARD COVER STORY ON NEWSSTANDS MARCH 10th

03/06/2015 nastysite

CONFIRMS EXCLUSIVE RELEASE OF ELVIS PRESLEY’S FIRST-EVER ALBUM FOR RECORD STORE DAY 2015

Jack White recently sat down with Joe Levy for an in-depth Billboard magazine cover story interview. Jack and Joe discussed the resurgence of vinyl, music preservation and much more, but most importantly, Jack’s recent acquisition of an item many people feel is the holy grail of rock & roll history. Read the interview here. The issue will be on newsstands March 10th.

In the interview, Billboard reveals that Jack was the mystery high bidder on Elvis Presley’s first-ever record. Third Man Records will release this recording for Record Store Day 2015.

Utilizing the actual unrestored audio as it currently exists on the sole original copy of “My Happiness” b/w “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” Third Man will make a limited facsimile, 10-inch 78rpm disc available on April 18, 2015. From reproducing the typewritten labels (printed on the reverse of extra Prisonaires labels that happened to be laying around Sun Records in July 1953) to being packaged in a plain, nondescript, of-the-era sleeve, the utmost attention to detail has been paid in order to create an object so close to the historic original as to almost be indistinguishable from one other.

Later this year, Third Man will release a widely available 7-inch 45rpm featuring newly restored versions of the two songs. Working from a transfer done by industry expert Alan Stoker at the Country Music Hall of Fame, the audio will be as clean as modern technology can make it without losing the feeling and soul that makes these two songs both haunting and breath-taking.

Listen to a clip of “My Happiness” and get a glimpse of this spinning piece of American musical history in this video.

Weather Up provides ideal indoor and outdoor spaces for guests and artists, as well as a top-notch staff that will serve up signature Woodford Reserve cocktails and much more.

BLUEPRINTS + Grand Opening Reception
Wednesday, March 18th, 8pm – 11pm

Following Wednesday’s showcase, Third Man Records will host the grand opening reception for their installation BLUEPRINTS, an exploration of Paramount Records and the birth of American Music as well as a Third Man Records pop-up shop. BLUEPRINTS will be located in Billy Reid’s Austin retail space at 1122 W. 6th St. The installation serves as a tribute to the music, musicians, and record label that changed the sonic landscape of our country in the early 20th century, and encourages visitors to learn about Paramount Records and interact with the Grammy winning “Cabinet of Wonder” box sets released by Third Man and Revenant Records over the past two years. The grand opening will feature the musical stylings of Up Around The Sun (Tim Kerr and Jerry Hagins), as well as food, drink and merriment and the opportunity to create your own Spirit-o-graph (shadow silhouette!) with Bryce McCloud, the Nashville artist responsible for much of the stunning design of The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records box sets. One of the masterminds behind the Paramount reissues and Revenant Records founder, Dean Blackwood, will also be at the event to discuss the project and answer questions.

BLUEPRINTS will be open to the public from March 12th through May. Hours are Monday through Saturday 10-7, Sunday 12-6. Exclusive records and merchandise will be available the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of SXSW, with additional retail surprises and events to follow throughout the life of the installation.

BOOTS: “MOTORCYCLE JESUS” SOUNDTRACK NOW STREAMING

03/02/2015 nastysite

SOUNDCLOUD.COM/BOOTSONBOOTS

SOUNDTRACK OUT TOMORROW VIA CANVASBACK/ATLANTIC

Following last week’s surprise release of his visually and musically stunning “Motorcycle Jesus” short film, BOOTS is now streaming the film’s soundtrack in its entirety. Much like the now deleted 2014 WinterSpringSummerFall mixtape and the recently evaporated “Mercy” track and clip, “Motorcycle Jesus” will likely disappear – as things tend to do in BOOTS’s world – after an undetermined amount of time. Or maybe not. Listen while you can here.
