Paul McCartney will reassume his electronic identity The Fireman on November 13th with a new album dubbed Electric Arguments, the third collaboration between Macca and producer/Killing Joke bassist Youth. Electric Arguments is the duo's first album since 1998's Rushes. The album's 13 songs were written over the course of 13 days spread over one year, with each song being written and recorded in only one day. The track "Lifelong Passion (Sail Away)" was released in June as a download to fans who donated to Adopt-A-Minefield. The album's opening song "Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight" is expected to premiere tonight on BBC Radio.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
