In 2005, rock legend Paul McCartney crossed America with his record-breaking, sold out US tour. Now, harnessing the power of more than 25 hi-definition cameras and the thunder of 5.1 digital surround sound, "Paul McCartney: The Space Within Us" captures this epic experience on DVD.
Better than a front row seat,
this feature-length concert takes viewers onto the stage and beyond,
capturing Paul's out of this world performance - which had been
beamed to the astronauts aboard the Mir space station who woke
up to some "English Tea" with Paul and the band through
a live feed from the tour.

is thinking."
Neat acoustic performances of "That Was Me," "Ever
Present Past," "Twenty Flight Rock," "Vintage

"Memory Almost Full" - CD/DVD Deluxe Edition
An original rock band from Chicago called THE POND HAWKS
has caught the attention of Paul McCartney
fans, because of a song thought to be about McCartney's ex, Heather Mills. The song called "Crying Hyena"
written by Pond Hawks' front-man Mario Novelli is about all the
lying, greedy, gold diggers of the world. Radio stations in London
have been playing the popular song and UK papers are referring
to Heather Mills as a "hyena."
Novelli and Jorie Gracen, a rock photographer and author who penned a bestseller about Paul McCartney ("I Saw Him Standing There" - Billboard Books), formed The Pond Hawks in March of 2007 and the band's popularity has skyrocketed ever since. With a new album in the works and original music posted on the band's myspace site, the band has gotten a barrage of hits. Gracen says, "The Pond Hawks have a huge following of mostly teens and twenty-somethings who prefer the style of our music, which is great for us."
The Pond Hawks also have friends like Brian Ray of Paul McCartney's band who gave the fledgling group a tip on how to make the perfect mix of "Midnight Howl," a song that won the 2006 WGN TV (Superstation) "Battle of the Bands." Other industry people have also taken notice of the band's unique sound influenced by The Beatles, Wings, ELO and Pink Floyd. The band hopes to be signed to a label.
Gracen says there is a music video of "Midnight Howl" that will be posted soon. The video was shot by famed videographer, Randy Reisen who worked with Paul McCartney ("The Space Within US") and Bon Jovi.
Currently, Gracen and Novelli have been busy writing, arranging and producing the new album with the help of band members, Michael Gillespie, Tony Melnick, Bob Graff, John Rivera and Roger Burden.
Regarding "Crying Hyena" Novelli says, "The pen has always been mightier than the sword. Hopefully the song will be a catharsis for those who have been victims of crying hyenas."
To read more about The Pond Hawks and hear "Crying Hyena," go to www.pondhawks.com
Also hear "Sweet Dreams
In the Rain," "On The Phone With Thillerie," "Shattered
Dreams/Broken Wings," "Midnight Howl" and "Start
Over" the latest songs from The Pond Hawks.

Paul McCartney's "Ecce Cor Meum" DVD (US & Canada)
Available NOW!!!
DVD recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall on November 3, 2006
CLICK TO ORDER
Paul McCartney's recent "classical"
oratorio is called Ecce Cor Meum, which translates as "Behold
My Heart." The idealistic texts, also by McCartney, are meditations
on goodness, spirituality, peace, and love, and are well served
by the pretty, Romantic melodies; the long choral and orchestral
sections flow one into the next. The Interlude (composed after
the death of his wife, Linda), with its lovely oboe solo, is simple
and moving. The music builds throughout to an emotional climax
and the entrance of the organ later in the work--beautifully played
and handsomely recorded--is quite remarkable. This is a far more
advanced work than 1991's Liverpool Oratorio: better orchestrated,
more through-composed. No, it's not the last word in compositional
sophistication, but it has many beautiful moments, and McCartney's
legions of fans will need to own it.
Following on from Paul helping Quebec celebrate their 400th birthday on Sunday night, check out a specially recorded version of 'Birthday' taken from last week's rehearsals in the UK...

Macca Is Hob-Mobbed
Beatles legend Paul McCartney was left speechless yesterday when he was mobbed by fans - while he munched a HobNob (a cookie).
Macca, back in his home city to meet graduates from the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, had tried to sneak out the back door while eating the biscuits.
But he was caught by surprise with his mouth full and ended up spraying fans with crumbs when he tried to chat to them.
Sir Paul tells his LIPA stars: Made the most of your mistakes
Sir Paul McCartney told his Liverpool Performing Arts Institute graduates to take advantage of "mistakes" as he honoured veteran actor John Hurt yesterday.
The former Beatle handed out companionships, LIPA's equivalent of an honorary degree, to the Golden Globe winner and several well-known faces from the music industry.
LIPA founder Sir Paul, who presented the awards, told students to take advantage of accidents and random chance. He gave the example of being in the studio to record "I'm Only Sleeping" on the Beatles album Revolver when an accident resulted in the tape playing backwards.
The mistake ended up creating a psychedelic effect which helped make the album one of the defining records of the era.
"We caught hold of the accident when it happened," he said.
Hurt, who has picked up two Baftas and a Golden Globe, was clearly delighted to be given his award at the Philharmonic Hall yesterday.
He said: "I am thrilled to be here and be part of it all.
"LIPA is like life imitating art. The TV gave us the idea of Fame, which did not actually exist.
"Here it is, now a reality. And it works on both an aesthetic and practical side."
Other high profile names being honoured yesterday included record producer Trevor Horn, who launched the career of Liverpool band Frankie Goes To Hollywood and music industry lawyer Ann Harrison.
Cathy Dennis, who appeared nervous as she accepted her award, was also rewarded for her songwriting and singing career.
Early in her career she had a number of top 20 hits before writing hit records for Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears, including Can't Get You Out of My Head and Toxic.
The musician Luis Cobos accepted an Honoured Friend award on behalf of the Artistas Interpretes O Ejecutantes (CORR), an organisation which helps keep music of different styles and origins alive at yesterday's ceremony.
Composer and performer Nitin Sawhney and choreographer Lea Anderson also received a Lipa award.
LIPA founding principal and chief executive Mark Featherstone-Witty said: "This has been another year when people at the top of their professional powers have shared their professional lives with our students.
"In addition to the people we are honouring today, I'd also like to thank all the people who gave their time to take a masterclass for our students this academic year."
These have included actors Alan Rickman, Mark Rylance and Scottish singer Sandi Thom, a former LIPA graduate herself.
More than 260 students received degrees and other awards from Sir Paul during the two-hour event.
Jonathan Deamer, 21, who graduated with a degree in music, entertainment and management, said he planned to stay in the city.
Born in Surrey, Deamer said he loved Liverpool so much he planned to stay and take a job with Sentric Music.
The company, founded by former LIPA students, specialises in digital marketing.
He said: "I've loved the last three-years at LIPA and it will be good working with former students so we can chat about the institute.
"It was great seeing McCartney.,
he shook my hand and said congratulations, I've always been a
fan and I've enjoyed his music masterclasses during my time at
LIPA."

Sir Paul McCartney in high spirits at LIPA graduation
Sir Paul McCartney has spoken
about the unique spirit of Lipa at the college's graduation ceremony.
Speaking at yesterday's graduation bash at the Philharmonic Hall, he said: "The spirit of this school is what sets it apart from lots of other places."
Sir Paul also unusually talked about life in The Beatles, revealing what set them apart from other groups was their ability to seize on new and unusual things that happened to them both inside and outside the recording studio.
He said: "We caught hold of the accident when it happened."
He urged Lipa graduates to do the same.
Actor John Hurt was among those honoured with a Companionship Lipa's equivalent of an honorary degree by Sir Paul at the ceremony.
The award-winning 68-year-old Shakespearean actor and film star said: "I am thrilled to be here and be part of it all.
"Lipa is like life imitating art. The TV gave us the idea of Fame, which did not actually exist.
"Here it is, now a reality. And it works on both an aesthetic and practical side."
The other recipients of this year's Lipa Companionships were choreographer Lea Anderson, singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis, music industry lawyer Ann Harrison, record producer Trevor Horn, who worked with Liverpool band Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and composer Nitin Sawhney.
The musician Luis Cobos accepted an Honoured Friend award on behalf of Artistas Intérpretes O Ejecutantes.
More than 260 students received degrees and other awards from Sir Paul during the two-hour event.
Among them was Paul Jones, from Ormskirk, who has just graduated from a sound technology course and hopes to go into record producing.
The 20-year-old, who performs as John Lennon in The Beat Beatles, said: "I had friends who had been to Lipa and I was aware of what a top-end school it was if I wanted to do music.
"It has been a fantastic three years."
Knowsley singer-songwriter Andrew Coleman also graduated from his music degree course.
The partially-sighted performer, 23, who had a one-to-one with Macca before he left the Mount Street college, said: "I wanted to go to one of the best and hardest universities to get into.
"I have had a great time
and my music and songwriting has improved."

New York Cops
Get Paul McCartney To The Show On Time
Paul McCartney is no stranger
to setting world records; he is listed by the Guinness World Records
as the most successful pop musician of all time. Last Friday,
18th July 2008, it looks like Paul might just have set another
world record as he made it from New York's JFK Airport to Shea
Stadium in an incredible 15 minutes with the help of the New York
Police Department.
Paul dropped in as an extra special surprise guest at Billy Joel's farewell to Shea Stadium show. Throughout the day there had been rumours that Paul might be joining Billy on stage, but as the curtain went up there was no sign of music's revered icon.
Billy took to the stage at 9pm, as Paul McCartney was thousands of feet up in the air making his way from London to New York. Paul's flight touched down 2 hours later at 11pm at JFK airport. Paul rushed off the plane with his legendary Hofner bass guitar in hand and got straight into a waiting car flanked by NYPD police cars and bikes. Throughout the flight the NYPD had stayed in contact with air traffic controllers to ensure no time was lost. The fleet made it to Shea Stadium in just 15 minutes. Just before 11:20pm Paul jumped on stage, surprising not only Billy Joel but also the sold out audience as he launched straight into 'I Saw Her Standing There'.
"It's so cool to be here on the last night," Paul told the 55,000 strong audience. "I came here a long time ago. We had a blast that night and we're having another one tonight." Paul then closed the night with his seminal anthem 'Let It Be', with Billy Joel on backing vocals.
Paul McCartney first performed at Shea Stadium with The Beatles in 1965, just one year after the stadium opened. The Beatles were the first band ever to ever hold a concert in a sporting stadium - yet another rock n' roll first in the history books. 43 years later Paul was back to give the legendary venue a legendary send-off.
Paul McCartney would like to
thank the New York Police Department for helping him to the show.
