Where's Paul been lately?

LadyLeslie:
... I wonder, since Paul is now in London, if that means he's in the recording studio working on his new album... I read that he signed a contract with Capitol Records last year. If he's signed with them, not sure how that works, if he has to use their studios and recording engineers in LA or if he can record anywhere, and send the recordings to Capitol to put on an album and distribute... But that would be great if he was able to record the album at Abbey Road studios. It's a place that seems very comfortable and familiar for him, that he enjoys working at very much, on his home turf, and it would make sense he'd want to record there. Am really looking forward to hearing his new music! ...
I would assume most of the recordings would be done at his own Hogg Hill Mill Studio in Sussex as he's been doing (on and off) since the Nineties. It's cheaper than forking out money to rent a studio and he has the bonus that he can work at his own pace.

Hi W. D. Stevens, nice to meet you! You're not crashing the convo at all That must have been very scary for you when you fell! It was very lucky you were carrying the washing, it protected you.
Nice to meet you too, Leslie. It's true I was lucky but I think the washing might have had a hand in my falling in the first place as there was rather a lot of it. As for the album, I'd imagine it's mostly done by now. I remember reading that a single was for the end of Spring and then the whole thing to come in Winter. They did give an actual month for the single but I can't recall now. And, I'm referring to Northern Hemisphere seasons, by the way. I've had to convert them in my head. I don't know how long the process usually takes but I'd imagine you'd record over a month or two then it'd stay in post-production for ages while marketing gets working which is the stage it's in now, I'd say.

There's no such thing as crashing the convo here on our forum!

some crappy British tabloid:
...but a bald spot appeared to be forming on the crown as he headed out in London. Sir Paul still seemed in good spirits, however...
He was in good spirits even with a bald spot? How can that be? I know this is some crappy British tabloid, but come on. Are we, as a society, so bankrupt of our humanity that an old man going bald is the worst thing in the world?

Thanks, johnnymain! That makes sense... It's a place that's comfortable and familiar for him, and no doubt dear to his heart... and why rent when you own your own studio. I've seen videos of the studio on YouTube... he did a tour of it for a program once, was very interesting, and shows Paul's great sense of humor.
and the video for Calico Skies (such a touching and lovely tribute to Linda!) was filmed in Sussex.As for the album, I'd imagine it's mostly done by now.

Thanks, W. D. Stevens! Appreciate knowing how the process works... I guess it's sort of like making a film, you do the filming and it stays in post production for a long time, and then there's the marketing and distribution...

That's very true, JL4761. Forums are a wonderful place where many people can post at once, and still be read... not like a spoken conversation where only one person can speak at a time and be heard. And with spoken conversations you can never scroll back, lol.

Just wait. Apple's working on that.

IMO the tabloid media and paparazzi are nothing but media schoolyard bullies who like to prey on the perceived weaknesses or flaws in others, then try to make money from that... very low and shameful really, especially when they feel they have to exaggerate the truth...

Is Apple working on a new recording device app that can record conversations and make transcripts? (Sorry if this has been in the news alot, I'm not up on latest Techno stuff, lol)

Well, that's what I'm basing my assumptions on as I am a filmmaker (albeit only a couple of years into my career) and it does take forever, shooting is comparatively the shortest part of the whole process. I'd expect the same is true of music. Funnily enough, my current project is a miniseries "inspired by" our man McCartney.

Well, in certain accents, 'fork' can come out a bit rude.

That's great, W. D. Stevens! I do internet work (part time) for an actor who does independent films. It's a wonderful medium. Good luck with your mini-series project, hope it can become a reality for you

How come "fork" wasn't censored in your above post?
