Leave a Birthday message for Paul at your Favorite Starbucks.
*Well you can’t say that the new Starbucks label isn’t trying. They
certainly are at least attempting to create some kind of buzz around for
Paul McCartney’s upcoming albums. There are exclusive **listening
parties*<https://www.hearmusic.com/mccartney/global_listening_event.html>
* around the globe, secret websites, free lithographs, rumored McCartney
promo appearances,youtube** video singles and even, no joke,an appearance by
Paul on the **Home Shopping
Network*<http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/05/startbucks_pimp_1.html>
*. You have to admit that they have churned up the old PR machine. It’s a
bit odd too, most of this stuff has happened in the last week or two, or
will be happening in a few days. It’s almost like the were a bit late to
their own party.*
*The party is something we all can celebrate however. How’s that for a bad
segueway? Starbucks is filming a birthday message to Paul at select
locations on June 5th in addition to all the great stuff mentioned above.
It looks like you guys can be the star in leaving Paul McCartney your own
message, and words of love on his birthday. This looks like a lot of fun. I
have to commend that Starbucks people, they have pulled out a few rabbits
from the hat, and made waiting for an album fun again. *
*Here’s what we’ve read. *
*In addition to the Global Listening Event taking place at more than 10,000
Starbucks locations around the world, Starbucks invites McCartney fans to
make music history by participating in a unique video tribute honoring
McCartney’s 65th birthday. *
*On June 5, film crews will disperse to 11 key Starbucks locations in cities
around the globe, including London, New York, Berlin, Los Angeles,
Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Miami.*
**
*Fans can deliver a birthday message directly to McCartney at a designated
store location in these markets. These messages may be included in the video
tribute which will premiere on June 18, Paul McCartney’s birthday, via a
host of online outlets. *
