Video description: Pocket Symphony is their fourth studio album proper and the follow up to 2004?s Talkie Walkie (although if you include their Allessandro Baricco City Reading collaboration, the Virgin Suicides soundtrack and their recent Charlotte Gainsbourg production 5:55 they could claim seven). It?s also the fourth album they have done in conjunction with English producer Nigel Godrich (?he?s so cool, he could be French,? quips Air?s Nicolas).

Paul McCartney: "Jenny Wren"

Paul McCartney earned three Grammy nominations for his critically acclaimed album, "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard." With nominations for Album Of The Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for the album's first single "Fine Line," and Best Pop Vocal Album, (as well as a Producer Of The Year nod for Nigel Godrich) McCartney's "Chaos" stands as one of the most nominated albums of the year. "It's always great to be recognized for your work,? said McCartney, who recently completed his sold-out, 37-city, "US Tour" of America. "We're very proud of the album, the reception it's had and I?m chuffed for Nigel. It was a great album to make. And seeing as I've never actually won a Grammy for my post-Wings work, it's pretty exciting..." "Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard" is McCartney?s 20th studio recording since The Beatles. Upon its release, which marked the end to a nearly four year studio hiatus for McCartney, the recording was met with unprecedented universal critical praise. The comparisons to "Chaos," were made at the time, many pointing out similarities to "McCartney," as well as to the Beatles "White Album." "Chaos" was produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Travis and Beck) and was recorded in London and Los Angeles over the past two years.

Beck has confirmed an October 3 U.S. release for his new album, The Information. Three years in the making, The Information is the album Beck began work on with producer Nigel Godrich (Beck's Sea Change, Mutations; Radiohead's OK Computer, Kid A) before last year's Guero. The Information was finally completed earlier this year once extended touring engagements necessitated by Guero's success, as well as Nigel's other commitments, were fulfilled. The Information is comprised of 15 songs and a DVD featuring homemade videos for each of the 15 songs shot in-studio during the actual sessions.

In addition to the self-shot videos currently floating around on Beck.com, Beck's MySpace page, Youtube and various other corners of the Internet, Beck recently shot a video for "Cell Phone's Dead," directed by Michel Gondry.
