Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell wave to fans at Haneda airport in Tokyo on Monday night.

TOKYO
Paul McCartney arrived in Japan on Monday to perform four concerts. The 76-year-old former Beatle arrived aboard a private jet with his wife Nancy Shevell, 58, at 7 p.m. at Tokyo’s Haneda airport for his 7th tour of Japan. About 500 fans were on hand to greet him.

McCartney last performed in Japan 18 months ago. He will play at Tokyo Dome on Oct 31 and Nov 1, Ryogoku Kokugikan on Nov 5 and finally at Nagoya Dome on Nov 8. It will be McCartney’s first time to perform in Nagoya.

The tour is part of McCartney’s “Freshen Up” world tour and to promote his new album "Egypt Station," which was released in September.

McCartney said on his blog after the Japan dates were announced earlier this year: "I love Japan. We’ve always had such a great time there and the audiences are just incredible. We can’t wait to get back! It’s always fun to visit new places too and helps to keep things fresh and exciting. Tokyo and Nagoya we are going to rock out and party with you soon.”

About 135,000 fans are expected to attend the four concerts.

Beatles 50th Anniversary White Album – First Look

Beatles 50th Anniversary White Album – First Look
by beatlesblogger
Posted on October 29, 2018

Some reviewers are flouting the embargo on showing and reviewing The Beatles new 50th anniversary edition of The Beatles (a.k.a. The White Album).

While it is not officially released until November 9, Michael Fremer – who is an equipment reviewer for the legendary Stereophile magazine, but who also runs his own YouTube channel and a blog called AnalogPlanet – has given fans a tasty preview of what to expect.

Fremer shows us not only the 4 LP set, but also the Deluxe 6 CD plus Blu-ray box containing Giles Martin’s new remix, the Esher Demos, and much much more in this YouTube clip:

He’s also published this lengthy review. In a nutshell – he really likes the vinyl:

“….the reissue does not sound like the original U.K. pressing nor was it intended to. Yet it remains true to the original’s intent, in part because there was less Mr. Martin could do to change it.

The new mix does sound more “modern” because modern techniques and gear were used, and the final source was a modern digital storage system, but this reissue does not sound “digital” as the pejorative use of the term has come to be used.

You’ll definitely be able to hear further into the reissue mix because it has greater transparency. And you can crank it up farther because it’s less harsh and somewhat smoother but not to where it’s soft.”

Mr Fremer also says that the Esher Demos LP is exceptional:

“…..they are truly wondrous. John brought 15 songs, Paul 7 and George 5. You are in the Kinfauns Bungalow as they strum, bang and shake and you’ll love every minute of it.”

So, how was the CD box set by comparison?

“When I played the CD version….all of that magic disappeared. I was hearing a plastic-sounding recording. Was it different EQ? Was it the downrez from 96/24 to 16/44.1? I don’t know and I don’t care. Am I prejudiced against CDs? Damn straight I am! Based on what I hear and nothing else.”

And how does he sum it all up?

“My conclusion about this remix is that if you have an original British pressing that you love, you will still love that. If you have an open mind you will also love this re-mix. You might be surprised which one you choose when you want to revisit this album. Yes, The Beatles has been “Martinized” but you won’t be left thinking you’ve been taken to the cleaners!”

He's about to embark on his Freshen Up tour, which kicks off in Toyko this week.

And Sir Paul McCartney, 76, was supported by his wife Nancy Shevell, 58, as he touched down in Japan on Monday, causing a stir as they landed at Haneda airport.

The couple - who tied the knot in 2011 - were sporting matching kimonos, embracing the local customs.

The pair were in high spirits as they made their way thought the airport in their eye-catching attire.
The Beatles legend's first stop on his world tour will be the Tokyo Dome on October 31st.

Macca-mania in Japan is widespread after his latest album Egypt Station hit the number one spot on the Japanese charts last month.

Paul next will take his tour to Europe before taking coming home to the UK to end the year in December.

The singer recently added another string to his bow by releasing his own picture book, called Hey Grandude.

He follows in the footsteps of musicians including Madonna, Bob Dylan and Keith Richards in releasing a kids' book.

He said: 'I’ve got eight grandchildren and they’re all beautiful and one day one of them said to me: "Hey Grandude!". I said: "What?" and I thought, I kind of like that, so from then on I was kind of known as Grandude.'

Sir Paul revealed the book, which is illustrated by Kathryn Durst and tipped for release in September next year, follows an old, magical gentleman called Grandude and his adventures with his four grandchildren.

Is the Viral Dance Challenge Dead?

Is the Viral Dance Challenge Dead?
by Michelle Kim
Staff Writer
OCTOBER 26 2018



A series of easy-to-replicate dance moves remains an effective way to push a song to the top the of the charts. Just look at Drake’s “In My Feelings.” Thanks in part to the #InMyFeelingsChallenge, which features simple gestures created by comedian Shiggy, Drake stayed at No. 1 with the song for 10 weeks earlier this year.

Paul McCartney sees the power of this strategy, but he hasn’t been able to turn it into his own viral success. Over the last couple weeks, he has been promoting his latest single, “Come On to Me,” with a set of videos branded with the hashtag #COTMChallenge. He has urged his 3.96M Twitter followers and 2.1M Instagram followers to “join in,” despite none of the clips featuring a challenge or central dance move, and even filmed a challenge clip himself, where he basically just lip syncs his own song with his iPhone in hand. The entire campaign is essentially McCartney’s version of that Steve Buscemi “How do you do, fellow kids?” gif from “30 Rock,” a full-grown adult clunkily trying to assimilate into youth culture.

The fact that McCartney and his team have tried so hard to reverse-engineer an organic internet phenomenon prompts a question long in the making: Has the viral dance challenge bubble finally burst?

Directed by T.G. Herrington, McCartney’s “Come On To Me” video features three late-night workers—security guard Fred “Little Freddie” Maxwell, food truck worker Ali Almohri, and housekeeper Elsa Morales—having secret solo dance parties at their jobs while no one is watching. Before the main clip dropped last Wednesday, dancing videos from each of the characters were released on McCartney’s YouTube. He has encouraged fans to vote for their favorite dance routine with hashtags like #COTMTeamFred, as though he’s trying to get you to save your favorite “American Idol” contestant or something. It’s unclear whether this is competition or a challenge, making it super obvious that McCartney just doesn’t get it.

Certainly McCartney is not the only recent culprit. Tekashi 6ix9ine tried to initiate viral buzz this summer by posting Instagram videos of himself unimpressively dancing in the street to his songs “Drip Too Hard” and “Stoopid,” tagging them with #DripTooHardChallenge and #StoopidChallenge, respectively. 6ix9ine didn’t exactly come up memorable or exciting dance moves, so the latter challenge only mildly took off. More recently, Lil Wayne has been boosting the #UproarChallenge, set to his Carter V song “Uproar” and spurred on by an Instagram video from the track’s producer Swizz Beatz. Though people seem like they’re having fun with it, the “challenge” itself is non-existent: some participants are just freestyle dancing, some people are inventing their own choreography, and others are performing spoken-word routines to the beat. Artists are trying harder than ever to make their own challenges happen, but what they’re failing to come up with are concepts beyond “dance around.”

As far the #COTMChallenge goes, the seed for this whole thing may have been planted in November 2016, at the apex of the #MannequinChallenge’s popularity. The idea, if you can’t remember this far back in meme world, was to film people standing completely still, usually in the middle of an absurd situation like a fist fight or in the emergency room. Many of the clips were set to Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane’s “Black Beatles,” propelling the song to No. 1. McCartney caught wind of the challenge and did his own version, filming himself playing a single note on the piano, timed perfectly to the part when Slim Jxmmi says, “Me and Paul McCartney related.” At the time, this was surprising and amusing to see, a boomer icon being in on the joke and nailing the challenge no less.

What McCartney and his team don’t seem to realize now is that the #MannequinChallenge was so good because it was developed entirely outside of SremmLife 2 marketing efforts. The earliest known #MannequinChallenge video, thought up by Jacksonville high school students, wasn’t even set to music. What was fun about it was its spirit of random goofiness, borne of teenage boredom and ingenuity, not a bandwagon-jumping desire to go viral. The prompt was clear and easy to follow, yet the challenge was open-ended enough that participants could really make it their own with clever settings and storylines. The #COTMChallenge tries to replicate an “authentic” feeling by casting people of color who are supposed to be service workers, the idea being that it’s entertaining to watch everyday people pretend they’re rock stars. But the everyday people (oftentimes unknown black teens) are supposed to start the challenge, with famous participants eventually following their lead.

So is the dance challenge dead? No, but without kids starting them for themselves, maybe it should be.
