Made Me a Happy Fellow

It only took losing Paul McCartney to Hear Music for EMI to wake up and pay some needed attention to his excellent solo catalog. Everything from McCartney to Chaos and Creation will be released digitally (sans DRM!) "across all platforms" soon. No word whether remastering would be involved, but you'd think.

Excellent. Still haven't switched from my cassette copy of Red Rose Speedway to CD. Guess I'll be skipping that!

And by the way, the rumors were spot on: Apple announced today an exclusive pre-order opportunity for Memory Almost Full. Buy it now via iTunes and you'll automatically get the single Ever Present Past and the video for Dance Tonight when the album is released June 5. Sweet.
