After 40-plus years in music, Sir Paul McCartney is still selling out stadiums. The Beatle and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is performing at Citi Field (the new home of the Mets) tonight and tomorrow night, with an extra show added on for Tuesday, July 21, due to the first announced dates selling out within minutes. This past Wednesday, Paul excited fans by playing a surprise show on top of David Letterman’s marquee in midtown. Rolling Stone noted that Paul’s set “recalled the Beatles’ famed Savile Row rooftop gig, when the Fab Four played atop the former building that housed Apple studios. In 1964, the Beatles made their U.S. television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show in the same studio Letterman now inhabits.”

Not surprisingly, half of Los Angeles is gone, having headed en masse to Indio, Cali, where everyone is about to get their Coachella on. Roxy owner and rock 'n' roll royalty Nic Adler is already out in the desert. He and his cohorts were treated to a soundcheck last night by none other than Sir Paul McCartney. What makes this already-sweet treat doubly delish? McCartney soundchecked some Beatles tunes. To quote Adler’s Facebook message to me: “OMG.” Nic also gives us a sneak preview of what to expect from the rest of the fest.

Despite this nipple-freezing, lip-cracking frigid weather, are you feeling love and holiday spirit in the air? If not, this gem is sure to bring a smile to your lovely face, especially those of us who grew up listening Paul McCartney and his band Wings. It certainly made me grin like an idiot, which is not uncommon. I immediately flashed back to Wings pumping lightly over the speakers at my dentist's office as the nitrous oxide kicked in. Those were tender moments. Not because I was sadistic (like Bill Murray's Arthur Denton in Little Shop of Horrors), but because for that one brief shining moment, we thought The Wings were, like, the best band in the world. And for that moment, they were. Anyway, Brooklyn songwriter Charles Gansa is the genius who penned "Love Take Me Down (To the Streets)," the awesomely Wings-like closer track for Role Models. After the jump, the exclusive mp3 via VF.com. Dig it, rip it and love it now, because it won't be commercially available until March.

Today is Paul McCartney’s 66th birthday! To celebrate (not really, but the timing couldn't be better), Australian music masher Wax Audio has compiled a remix of Justice’s “Waters of Nazareth” and the Beatles' “Come Together” for an epic duel entitled, er, “Come To Nazareth—Beatles vs. Justice.” While the new version won't ever replace the greatness of the original, this might be one of the most inspired remixes of late.
