Still hoping for a single today, but it seems the recent '13 dice'posts are linked to the new Rolling Stone mag which has Paul and Taylor Swift (who I thought was a bloke but obviously isn't !!) on the cover.
Oh well, if that turns out to be the case then at least I've had Polly Scattergood's latest single Snowburden released today (total surprise that one) as compensation.
You had never heard of Taylor Swift?! 🤯
That's okay, I never heard of Polly Scattergood!
I thought the 13 referred to the HOME EP which is available today for streaming.

I'd heard the name (or have seen the name) Taylor Swift but thought it was a guy, probably because I'd worked a few years ago with a guy called Taylor. Its obviously a name that can be used by either sex. But I hadn't heard any music by Taylor Swift,mainly because I'm not interested in chart music or listening to the radio. I would have been very surprised if you had heard of Polly Scattergood. She's not really that well known, even in the UK.

For anyone planning to buy 'Uncut' for the 'exclusive interview', don't bother,save your money and put it towards the album instead. As usual with a Paul interview, it took him just a couple of sentences to get on the subject of the Beatles, and when he's not talking about the Beatles, then its John...or George...or Ringo. Its still worth buying though..... for anyone who hasn't heard the stories about John and Paul hitchhiking to Paris....or that Paul and George hitchhiked to Wales.....and that the song Please Please Me originally started out as a slow Roy Orbison type number.
There is also a lot of looking back on the McCartney and McCartney ll albums, which is frustrating when you (or at least I) want to read about the new album. On the plus side though, the recent photos by Mary are great, the new album review is encouraging (I'm hoping it didn't get a 9/10 rating in order to secure the 'exclusive'interview?), and the McCartney poster/booklet is a nice touch bit of nostalgia for anyone wanting to relive the early months of 1970.
There really should be a drinking game when reading or listening to a McCartney interview. Any time he mentions the Beatles or any one of them individually, you have to drink a shot -lol

I thought you would have seen the big brouhaha with her and Kanye West coming up on stage at the 2009 VMA Awards. P.S. I don't listen to the radio or any current music either but I see stuff online or on TV. (Like on Entertainment Tonight)

So did anybody else think 13 was referring to the HOME EP which started streaming on the 13th?

Nah, I didn't know anything about that. But at least I've heard of Kanye West....and he's a bloke.

Unless the HOME EP is taken from McCartney lll album then no.

Taylor Swift’s favorite number is 13 and it was Friday the 13.

But the (13) dice links to McCartney lll....and Taylor Swift has nothing to do with McCartney lll? I'm beginning to get a bit irritated by these stupid publicity / media posts from MPL/Capitol Records. Paul wants to stop mucking about, release a single and then release the album.

I envy ayone who hasn't heard of Taylor Swift. She is so pervasive, it would almost take a miracle to miss her.

At the tiime, I thought Kanye was the biggest jerk ever...protesting Swift winning over Beyonce...and snatching away the award from her hands. Now? I'm sort of thinking she had it coming!! Or does now.

No way did ANYONE deserve what Kanye did. What a jerk.

Adele?
I assume she must have sold a lot of records in the US then? I have no idea how well known British artists are in the US I'm afraid or how well known US artists are in the UK?

It depends on the artist. People like Adele or Taylor Swift are international stars and I can't imagine anybody not knowing them. Of course, there are artists that are popular in a country but have not achieved world wide fame. Think of the Beatles in the early 60's before they came to America. For example, I love Lucy Jones who was in "Waitress" on the West End because I love theater plus I remember seeing clips of her on "X Factor".

I agree. That was a real a-hole move.

That's (kind of ) true, although I didn't know Taylor Swift, despite apparently being an international star.
I've never heard of Lucy Jones either. Sorry. The only American act I like (I have all their albums) are Au Revoir Simone, who are popular although probably not hugely popular. Have you heard of them at all?
