Maccareport.com is saying that a backwards message exists at the end of the song "Don't Stop Running" on the new Fireman album. The song, which runs over ten minutes, features about two minutes of silence followed by some interesting ambient music. The track ends with a backwards whisper. When you reverse it, it says, "Warmer than the sun, cooler than the air."
This Maccareport "exclusive" is credited to someone named Peter H., but the web site is run by Jorie Gracen, author of "Paul McCartney: I Saw Him Standing There." Readers of Maccareport are advised to go to Internet Anagram Maker site to decipher Paul's secret message, which they think may be directed at Heather Mills.
The Maccaspan2008 video version cuts the song at 5:47, but Piggies1 has a version that is 10:33 long with the audible message at the end.
Maccareport lets you hear the backwards message here.
"Warmer than the sun, cooler than the air" was also one of the comments on the Official Fireman MySpace Page by one of the Fireman's 2292 friends.
I don't know where these people get the idea that Paul McCartney would have hidden messages in his music. I would only allow myself five minutes to play with the anagram idea for "Warmer than the sun, cooler than the air."
The best I could do in five minutes?
"Heather Recontaminates A Thrown Hurl"
I intend to buy it tomorrow and play it forwards...and LOUD!

By the way, I think he's saying something else a moment before he says "warmer than the sun, cooler than the air", but for the life of me I can't decipher what it is.

I think so too. I'll know better when I hear the CD.
i'll just listen to the multitracks of electric arguments.
then i can isolate that vocal track.
Speaking of that Mikey (or anyone listening in), do you by any chance have an isolated vocal track of the Sgt. Pepper reprise?
I'm really interested in knowing if there's anything to the suggestion that Paul(?) is singing "Paul is dead! Really, really dead!!" in the background there at the end.
This seems like one of those instances, like the classic "I buried Paul/Cranberry Sauce" conundrum, that shouldn't be too hard to prove definitively one way or the other with the right audio software.
(Also, for the record, I remain deeply skeptical of the "cranberry sauce" recordings...)
yeah go buy the cd folks!
there is a backwards message on it!
man this is so viral marketing and yet no one seems to notice..
Yep. Awfully convenient how Paul is hopping on the anagram bandwagon.
Awfully convenient how this whole blog is a marketing campaign for the new album

lol, i love how you guys turn everything and everybody in conspiracy material.
on one of his first posts was directed to ringos web site, the very next to a huge album cover of "dance tonight" (which appeared around that time)
a little sooner the promotion started in iaap videos. remember the marketing for Pauls new cd and his new dvd?
and what is happening now? another new album
whats going on with crowley taf?
in like your 3rd post on nir you posted about the "OTO connection". now again?
See that, Paul? Surely I deserve a complementary copy of the $80 deluxe version. Come on, I already spent $25 for the first track and I'll be shelling out $10 tomorrow for the standard CD. Think about it, will ya?
citing Tafultong from NIR:
'If you follow the Beatles (collectively and individually) as well as related people (e.g. Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, etc.) and you buy all the records, DVDs, books, etc. and go to all of the official web sites, the whole thing only gets more and more spooky.'
well....

There's not a lot of information out there connecting Crowley and the Beatles, but since it is so much at the heart of what Iamaphoney seems to be saying, I think it's relevant when I find something new. I did not know about "Sybarite among the Shadows" until recently.
I did report here that I have never found proof that Denny Laine ever said that Paul and Linda were big into Crowley, as has been implied in Rotten Apple videos.
mike said on NIR in 2007:
'okay.. at this point i'm suspecting many people of being iamaphoney on the tube and here... like tafultong.. he only talks in here'
then Iamaphoney posted on NIR as BIII:
'Late this year another album will show up adding the last chapter to the code.'
yeah right.. go and by that album or you'll miss the clue

those were the days man...
something definetaly smells fishy here (and its not me)
You just never know about these backwards tracks. "Sugar Plum Fairies" backwards is "I Am A Witch"
So is this jackass who keeps posting saying that Iamaphoney is the messiah or Jesus Christ or whatever part of the IAAP team's last ditch effort to make something out of all this happy horseshit? What a fucking joke!

Yes, but unfortunately this one is rather straightforward (for a backward track). I mean the backwards voice is obvious and the reverse is clearly a forward voice. Although, I get the feeling when Paul does something obvious, he may be suggesting that we look for another less obvious example that is more deeply hidden (e.g. the second more sinister anagram on Memory Almost Full").
"...I get the feeling when Paul does something obvious, he may be suggesting that we look for another less obvious example that is more deeply hidden (e.g. the second more sinister anagram on Memory Almost Full")."
Nah, I think that's just called "fantasy". Too bad about you Tafultong. You went down the Iamaphoney/Zeitgeist/Conspiracy cliche rabbit hole and lost yourself.

No telling what all is hidden on the new album that is backwards. I bet people will be trying to find every little detail.
That sunsol reversal is pretty neat if true. If there's a thematic thread running throughout the Fireman album, the most immediately apparent one to me seems to be an emphasis upon imagery of "light" and "movement": the Fireman is the sun, personified?
This opens up some interesting possibilities for Mr. Phoney...

I looked at faulconsnowjob's PID thread at the David Icke forums. It looks like the naysayers just gave up arguing with her and left.
There's a certain irony in people that believe the world is secretly run by shapeshifting lizards thinking this woman is batshit crazy.
Oh yes, Phoney and Paul sure works hand in hand
might even be Pauls idea. Starting up making deliberate wrong spelling, the videos looking amatours, and then slowly raising the Qlty.
I dont know what we can expect next but it is surely exiting.

The Law is a powerful thing. People might not like it, but they better follow it. Faulconandsnowjob is no one to trifle with. And she knows the law. And three other graduate level degrees. So shapeshifting lizards don't like her? What did you expect? Lizards don't follow the law! This one time, my pet snake... that is another story...
Pssst
There is one suitcase with something valuable hidden. I bet the answer is in an iamaphoney video. If you play it backwards, you may find the answer.
You can laugh all you want about David Icke and faulconandsnowjob, but one day, when the lizards are eating your children you will know that Paul is Dead is the absolute truth. He was replaced by the Lizard Kings "I am the lizard king, I can do anything" meant that they could replace the worlds most famous man with a shapeshifter lizard. Sometimes the greatest secret is hidden in plain sight.
i dont have any children!
SEE?!? THE LIZARDS ALREADY ATE THEM!!!
Good point! They ate them BEFORE THEY WERE BORN!
That's just how devious this control grid has become. Faulconandsnowjob is right. If they can replace Paul, they could replace any one of us.

Gladys Jenkins
Not quite enough here for a post, but just to explore a couple of things for the fun of it...
Paul told reporters that he took on the identity of one Gladys Jenkins for the new Fireman project. He claimed it released him from the limitations that come with trying to make the next Paul McCartney album and allowed him to experiment.
Suddenly there is a new YouTube channel for you guessed it, Gladys Jenkins, complete with an Iamaphoney alias video from a year ago.
The YouTube channel also has the numbers like those that have been turning up on Iamaphoney sites lately.

Mercy Hospital School of Nursing was a historically African American Nursing School in Pennsylvania, USA. If you Google it, you will find the names of women including one named Gladys Jenkins as well as the others mentioned on the YouTube channel.
The Aga Khan Hospital is a real hospital in Nairobi, Kenya.
Okay, imaginators, here we go. Let's pretend that the Gladys Jenkins who left this comment on my blog is Iamaphoney.
Now, let's pretend that Paul McCartney used the name Gladys Jenkins on purpose.
Now, let's pretend that Gladys Jenkins from the class on 1928 decided that the career opportunities in the USA were not to her liking and she decided to move to Nairobi, Kenya. Now she would have been in the nursing profession for about 30 years by 1958 when the Aga Khan University Hospital first opened.
But let's pretend she was still working there in late 1966 when Mal Evans and Paul McCartney's lookalike came there so that the latter could have plastic surgery.
If Gladys Jenkins is in fact, the "Nurse Alive" she would be about 100 years old.
Does this make you want to run and grab that suitcase?
Does this make you want to buy that $80 deluxe package of Electric Arguments?
I don't know about you, but it just makes me yearn for a well edited, imaginatively sequenced, tastefully sound-tracked Iamaphoney video.
Anyway, whoever did the Gladys comment and did the YouTube site, I appreciate your creativity.
I hope they bow to your superiority, Taf.

Eeeek! I'm real uncomfortable with that thought. Some people here understand what I'm trying to do and I am deeply grateful about that. Some don't always get what I'm trying to say, but they leave their opinions and I appreciate that they took the time to visit the site.
But overall, this blogging experience has helped me to learn a lot of things, make a few friends, share my knowledge and love for the Beatles and talk about my interest in Iamphoney's videos.
I like being appreciated, but I have no need to feel superior to anyone. If it looks that way, I am screwing up in my communication skills.

I guess Mike hasn't answered this question yet. There were some isolated Sgt. Pepper tracks that appeared last year. I think it started with a podcast, and Terry Ott had some links on his blog. They have since been cleaned up and put on some file sharing sites.
I don't know if the Sgt. Pepper Reprise was among them. If you search for "Sgt. Pepper Multitracks" you should be able to find what is available.

Interesting (from the wiki):
McCartney's yelling voice in the coda section of "Sgt. Pepper (Reprise)" (just before the segue into "A Day in the Life") can plainly be heard in the mono version, but is nearly inaudible in the stereo version.

Yes, that's true. You can hear it the mix on the Mobile Fidelity Labs Stereo version however.

Hey man, you just described your own blog!
I say Anson Williams has as much to do with the Beatles as any of the clap trap IAAP is spewing. In fact I'd say the whole Chuck Cunningham story is a dead giveaway.
Is he singing "Paul is dead! Really, really dead!"???
Don't be harshing on Tafultong. His blog has more to do with the Beatles than IAAP does, imho, and I appreciate that.
Is he singing "Paul is dead! Really, really dead!"???
What do you think? DUH...no
Tafultong is a nice guy but a bit naive.
Warmer than the sun
Cooler than the air.
Warm hearts, cold clay!
Bright day, dim night!
Does anyone know what this is?
Read the press release about how Paul came up with the lyrics for the album. They're all lines from other writer's poetry books.
Even if its just one hour, I wilt just like a fading flower
Ah! the old years! Come back, ye vanished hours
We wasted; come, grow red, ye faded flowers!

PREFACE
IN response to a widely-spread lack of interest in my writings, I
have consented to publish a small and unrepresentative selection
from the same. With characteristic cunning I have not included any
poems published later than the Third Volume of my Collected Works.
The selection has been made by a committee of seven compe-
tent persons, sitting separately.
Only those poems have been included which obtained a
majority vote.
This volume, thus almost ostentatiously de-mocratic, is there-
fgore now submitted to the British Public with the fullent confidence
that it will be received with exactly the same amount of acclamation
as that to which I have become accustomed.
ALEISTER CROWLEY.
AMBERGRIS
FROM THE TALE OF ARCHAIS
Song
Ere the grape of joy is golden
With the summer and the sun,
Ere the maidens unbeholden
Gather one by one,
To the vineyard comes the shower,
No sweet rain to fresh the flower
But the thunder rain that cleaves,
Rends and ruins tender leaves.
Ere the wine of perfect pleasure
From a perfect chalice poured,
Swells the veins with such a measure
As the garden s lord
Makes his votaries dance to, death
Draws with soft delicious breath
To the maiden and the man.
Love and life are both a span.
Page 8
AMBERGRIS--2
Ere the crimson lips have planted
Paler roses, warmer grapes,
Ere the maiden breasts have panted,
And the sunny shapes
Flit around to bless the hour,
Comes men know not what false flower :
Ere the cup is drained, the wine
Grows unsweet, that was divine.
All the subtle airs are proven
False at dewfall ; at the dawn
Sin and sorrow, interwoven,
Like a veil are drawn
Over love and all delight.
Grey desires invade the white.
Love and life are but a span ;
Woe is me ! and woe is man !
Page 9

In Hollow Stones, Scawfell
Blind the iron pinnacles edge the twilight ;
Blind and black the ghylls of the mountain clefted,
Crag and snow-clad slope in a distant vision
Rise as before me.
Here (it seems) my feet by a tiny torrent
Press the moss with a glad delight of being :
Here my eyes look up to the riven mountain
Split by the thunder,
Rent and rifted, shattered of wind and lightning,
Smitten, scarred, and stricken of sun and tempest,
Seamed with wounds, like adamant, shod with iron,
Torn by the earthquake.
Still through all the stresses of doubtful weather
Hold the firm old pinnacles, sky-defying ;
Still the icy feet of the wind relentless.
Walk in their meadows.
Page 10
4--AMBERGRIS
Fields that flower not, blossom in no new springtide;
Fields where grass nor herb nor abounding darnel
Flourish ; fields more barren, devoid, than ocean s
Pasture ungarnered.
Deserts, stone as arid as sand, savannahs
Black with wrecks, a wilderness evil, fruitless ;
Still, to me, a land of the bluest heaven
Studded with silver.
Castles bleak and bare as the wrath of ocean,
Wasted wall and tower, as the blast had risen,
Taken keep and donjon, and hurled the earthward,
Rent and uprooted.
Such rock-ruins people me tribes and nations,
Kings and queens and princes as pure as dawning,
Brave as day and true ; and a happy people
Lulled into freedom ;
Nations past the stormier times of tyrants,
Past the sudden spark of a great rebellion,
Past the iron gates that are thrust asunder
Not without bloodshed :
Page 11
IN HOLLOW STONES, SCAWFELL--5
Past the rule of might and the rule of lying,
Free from gold s illusion, and free to cherish
Joys of life diviner than war and passion--
Falsest of phantoms.
Only now true love, like a sun of molten
Glory, surging up from a sea of liquid
Silver, golden, exquisite, overflowing,
Soars into starland.
Sphere on sphere unite in the chant of wonder
Star to star must add to the glowing chorus ;
Sun and moon must mingle and speed the echo
Flaming through heaven.
Night and day divide, and the music strengthens,
Gathers roar of seas and the dirge of moorlands ;
Tempest, thunder, birds, and the breeze of summer
Join to augment it.
So the sound-world, filled of the fire of all things,
Rolls majestic torrents of mighty music
Through the stars where dwell the avenging spirits
Bound in the whirlwind . . .
Page 12
6--AMBERGRIS
So the cliffs their Song . . . For the mist regathers,
Girds them bride-like, fit for the sun to kiss them ;
Darkness falls like dewfall about the hill-sides ;
Night is upon me.
Now to me remain in the doubtful twilight
Stretches bare of flower, but touched with whispers,
Grey with huddled rocks, and a space of woodland,
Pine-tree and poplar.
Now a stream to ford and a stile to clamber ;
Last the inn, a book, and a quiet corner . . .
Fresh as Spring, there kisses me on the forehead
Sleep, like a sister.

Euripides.
Amsterdam, December 23rd, 1897.
Let me pass out beyond the city gate.
All day I loitered in the little streets
Of black worn houses tottering, like the fate
That hangs above my head even now, and meets
Prayer and defiance as not hearing it.
They lean, these old black streets ! a little sky
Peeps through the gap, the rough stone path is lit
Just for a little by the sun, and I
Watch his red face pass over, fade away
To other streets, and other passengers,
See him take pleasure where the heathen pray,
See him relieve the hunter of his furs,
Page 14
8--AMBERGRIS
All the wide world awaiting him, all folk
Glad at his coming, only I must weep :
Rise he or sink, my weary eyes invoke
Only the respite of a little sleep ;
Sleep, just a little space of sleep, to rest
The fevered head and cool the aching eyes ;
Sleep for a space, to fall upon the breast
Of the dear God, that He may sympathise.
Long has the day drawn out ; a bitter frost
Sparkles along the streets ; the shipping heaves
With the slow murmur of the sea, half lost
In the last rustle of forgotten leaves.
Over the bridges pass the throngs ; the sound,
Deep and insistent, penetrates the mist
I hear it not ; I contemplate the wound
Stabbed in the flanks of my dear silver Christ.
He hangs in anguish there ; the crown of thorns
Pierces that palest brow ; the nails drip blood ;
There is the wound ; no Mary by Him mourns,
There is no John beside the cruel wood.
I am alone to kiss the silver lips ;
I rend my clothing for the temple veil ;
My heart s black night must act the sun s eclipse ;
My groans must play the earthquake, till I quail
Page 15
THE GOAD--9
At my own dark imagining. And now
The wind is bitterer : the air breeds snow ;
I put my Christ away ; I turn my brow
Towards the south stedfastly ; my feet must go
Some journey of despair. I dare not turn
To meet the sun ; I will not follow him :
Better to pass where sand and sulphur burn,
And days are hazed with heat, and nights are dim
With some malarial poison. Better lie
Far and forgotten on some desert isle,
Where I may watch the silent ships go by,
And let them share my burden for awhile.
Let me pass out beyond the city gate
Where I may wander by the water still,
And see the faint few stars immaculate
Watch their own beauty in its depth, and chill
Their own desire within its icy stream.
Let me move on with vacant eyes, as one
Lost in the labyrinth of some ill dream,
Move and move on, and never see the sun
Lap all the mist with orange and red gold,
Throw some lank windmill into iron shade,
And stir the chill canal with manifold
Rays of clear morning ; never grow afraid
Page 16
10--AMBERGRIS
When he dips down beyond the far fiat land,
Know never more the day and night apart,
Know not where frost has laid his iron hand
Save only that it fastens on my heart ;
Save only that it grips with icy fire
These veins no fire of hell could satiate ;
Save only that it quenches this desire.
Let me pass out beyond the city gate.

Astrology
A lonely spirit seeks the mignight hour,
When souls have power
To cast away one moment bonds of clay,
And touch the day
With pallid, wistful lips beyond the earth,
And bring to birth
New thoughts with which life long has travail d ;
As if one dead
Should rise and utter secrets of the tomb,
And from hell s womb
Or heaven s breast bring all the load of fears,
Toils of long years,
Sorrows of life and agonies of death,
Hard caught-up breath,
The labouring hands of love, the cheeks of shame,
The gloomy flame
Of lust, the cruel torment of desire
More than hell fire,
And bid them fade, as if the bryony
Let her flower die,
Page 18
12--AMBERGRIS
And banished them through space, as if a star
Dropped through the far
Vault of the sky, and, as a lamp extinct
With blood-red tinct,
Went out. So lonely in mysterious night
A wild, strange light
Flickers around the sacred head of man,
And bids him scan
The scroll of heaven, and see if there be not,
Black with no blot
Of cloud, but golden lettered on the blue
That mothers dew,
This message of good hope, good trust, good fate,
And good estate :
Work on, hope ever, let your faith be built
Of gold ungilt ;
Your love exceed the starry vault for height,
The heaven for might ;
Your faith wax firmer than a ship at sleep
On the grey deep,
Anchored in some most certain anchorage
From ocean s rage ;
Your patience stand when mountains shake and quail
Before the gale

Of God s great tribulation. Make thee sure
Thou canst endure!
And work, work ever, sleep not, gird thy head

Of knowledge from the caverns of the deep!
So shall the steep
Pathways of heaven gleam with loftier fires
Than earth s desires.
So shall thou conquer Space, and lastly climb
The walls of Time,
And by the golden path the great have trod
Reach up to God!

FROM JEPHTHAH
Chorus of Maidens
O the time of dule and teen !
O the dove the hawk has snared !
Would to God we had not been,
We, who see our maiden queen,
Love has slain whom hate had spared.
Sorrow for our sister sways
All our maiden bosoms bared
To the dying vesper rays,
Where the sun below the bays
Of the West is stooping ;
All our hearts together drooping,
Flowers the ocean bears.
All the garb that gladness wears
To a rent uncouth attire
Changed with cares ;
Happy songs our love had made
Ere the sun had sunk his fire,
In the moonrise fall and fade,
Page 21
CHORUS OF MAIDENS--15
And the dregs of our desire
Fall away to death.
Tears divide our labouring breath
That our sister O our sister !
Moon and sun and stars have kissed her !
She must tough the lips of death,
Touch the lips whose coldness saith :
Thou art clay.
Let us fare away, away
To the ice whose ocean gray
Tumbles on the beach of rock,
Where the wheeling vultures mock
Our distress with horrid cries ;
Where the flower relenting dies,
And the sun is sharp to slay ;
Where the ivory dome above
Glimmers like the dawn of love
On the weary way ;
Where the ibex chant and call
Over tempest s funeral ;
Where the horn d beast is shrill,
And the eagle hath its will,
And the shadows fall
Sharp and black, till day is passed
Over to the ocean vast ;
Page 22
16--AMBERGRIS
Where the barren rocks resound
Only to the rending roar
Of the shattering streams that pour
Rocks by ice eternal bound,
Myriad cascades that crowned
Once the far resounding throne
Of the mountain spirits strong,
All the treacherous souls that throng
Desolate abodes of stone,
Barren of all comely things,
Given to the splended kings,
Gloomy state, and glamour dark,
Swooping jewel-feathered wings,
Eyes translucent with a spark
Of the world of fire, that swings
Gates of adamant below
Lofty minarets of snow.
Thence the towering flames arise,
Where the flashes white and wise
Find their mortal foe.
Let us thither, caring not
Anything, or any more,
Since the sorrow of our lot
Craves to pass the abysmal door.
Never more for us shall twine
Page 23
CHORUS OF MAIDENS--17
Rosy fingers on the vine.
Never maiden lips shall cull
Myriad blossoms beautiful.
Never cheeks shall dimple over
At the perfume of the clover.
Never bosoms bright and round
Shall be garlanded and bound
With the chain of myrtle, wreathed
By the fingers of the maid
Each has chosen for a mate,
When the west wind lately breathed
Murmurs in the wanton glade
Of the day that dawneth late
In a maiden s horoscope,
Dawning faith and fire and hope
On the spring that only knew
Flowers and butterflies and dew,
Skies and seas and mountains blue,
On the spring that wot not of
Fruit and falling leaves and love.
Never dew-dashed foreheads fair
Sall salute the idle air.
Never shall we wander deep
Where the fronds of fern, asleep,
Kiss her rosy feet that pass
Page 24
18--AMBERGRIS
On the spangled summer grass,
Half awake, and drowse again.
Never more our feet shall stain
Purple with the joyous grape,
Whence there rose a fairy shape
In the fume and must and juice,
Singing lest our eyes escape
All his tunic wried and loose
With the feet that softly trod
In the vat the fairy god.
Never more our eyes shall swim
Looking for the love of him
In the magic moon that bent
Over maidens moon-content,
When the summer woods were wet
With our dewy songs, that set
Quivering all seas and snows,
Stars and tender winds that fret
Lily, lily, laughing rose,
Sighing, sighing violet,
Dusky pansy, swaying rush,
And the stream that flows
Singing, ringing softly : Hush !
Listen to the bird that goes
Wooing to the brown mate s bough ;
Page 25
CHORUS OF MAIDENS--19
Listen to the breeze that blows
Over cape and valley now
At the silence of the noon,
Or the slumber hour
Of the white delicious moon
Like a lotus-flower !
Let us sadly, slowly, to
To the silence of the snow !

FROM MYSTERIES
De Profundis
Blood, mist, and foam, then darkness. On my eyes
Sits heaviness, the poor worn body lies
Devoid of nerve and muscle; it were death
Save for the heart that throbs, the breast that sighs.
The brain reels drowsily, the mind is dulled,
Deadened and drowned by noises that are lulled
By the harsh poison of the hateful breath.
All sense and sound and seeing is annulled.
Within a body dead a deadened brain
Beats with the burden of a shameful pain,
The sullen agony that dares to think,
And think through sleep, and wake to think again.
Fools ! bitter fools ! Our breaths and kisses seem
Constrained in devilry, debauch, and dream :
Lives logged in the morass of meat and drink,
Loves dipped in Phlegethon, the perjured stream.
Page 27
DE PROFUNDIS--21
Behold we would that hours and minutes pass,
Watch the sands falling in the eager glass ;
To wile their weariness is pleasure s bliss ;
But ah ! the years ! like smoke They fade, alas !
We weep them as they slip away ; we gaze
Back on the likeness of the former days
The hair we fondle and the lips we kiss
Roses grow yellow, and no purple stays.
Ah ! the old years ! Come back, ye vanished hours
We wasted ; come, grow red, ye faded flowers !
What boots the weariness of olden time
Now, when old age, a tempest-fury, lowers?
Up to high God beyond the weary land
The days drift mournfully ; His hoary hand
Gathers them. Is it so ? My Foolish rime
Dreams they are links upon an endless band.
The planets draw in endless orbits round
The sun ; itself revolves in the profound
Black wells of space ; the comet s mystic track
By the strong rule of a closed curve is bound
quote is at the end...

Sometimes things are not what they seem
I missed "Bad Ass Crowley Tafultong"
In his interview regarding adopting the persona of Gladys Jenkins, Paul added:
"It was quite thrilling, that's how we approached (classic 1967 Beatles record) Sgt. Pepper's. It's like you're playing instead of working."
Funny how he seems to feel obligated to bring up Sgt. Pepper every chance he gets.
By the way, the awful Crowley poem is actually an anagram.

This is an excellent point Tafultong.
He's saying "come here"; before he says "warmer than the sun", etc., Paul whispers "come here".
At least that is what it sounds like to me. I can't be bothered with all that track isolation business that Mike is so good at, so I can't really too sure.
thank you for trying jude!
paul is dead - the rotten apple 2 you hear it claer as a bell.Paul is dead really dead.
Jude,
Come here could also be come hear, a double entendre.
Is this also an inference to two men who sound alike but with different intentions? Nah, that is absurd.

I don't understand the appeal of Crowley, or why McCartney is quoting him on his album. what is the point?

See that, Paul? Surely I deserve a complementary copy of the $80 deluxe version. Come on, I already spent $25 for the first track and I'll be shelling out $10 tomorrow for the standard CD. Think about it, will ya?
I did, too.
Had to sell stuff to do it, but I did!
People are saying that the other disc might be a 'make your own re-mix' deal, like that thing he did when "Chaos" came out.

MikeNL wrote:

There was a program you could download from Paul's site that had isolated snippets from various songs from "Chaos and Creation." You could assemble and mix the clips within the program to create your own piece.
They also had a contest where they gave a reward for the best one.
The clips consisted of brief vocal and instrumental passages and it was a lot of fun, but there were no entire songs to remix or anything like he is offering now.
The bottom line was that you could make something that sounded cool, but the software was severely limited. Mine was lost when my computer hard drive crashed on April 10, 2008.
Paul posted money in iamaphoney from rotten apple 37 everything did change after that. and The Fireman was to be brought in position, I think.

I feel so used.
So the IAAP mystery can be put to rest now?
"I looked at faulconsnowjob's PID thread at the David Icke forums. It looks like the naysayers just gave up arguing with her and left."
Just about everything she presents as 'evidence' has been debunked over and over again - but she just ignores the best counter-arguments and sticks her fingers in her ears. People have stopped bothering with her because she's just repeating herself now. It has become futile and, frankly, very boring.
Some of the posters on that forum are not as crazy as you might imagine.
The same could easily transfer to iaap land.

april 10 huh...
hmm.
that's the day the interview would happen.
I never put much stock in the viral marketing campaign theory but I bought the Fireman CD today and there are anagrams all over the package.
"no no sam it aint no anagram"
"the purpose is to meet you at your fire place"
...and this one blew me away. Remember IAAP's "The fireman is no mason"?
Now we have McCartney's: "The fireman is no nickname-simply a warm place in the head".
If the whole purpose of IAAP was to create buzz for this Fireman CD then I guess it was successful because I just bought the shittiest Paul McCartney CD of all time. This Fireman record makes Wild Life look like a work of genius. It sounds like Tom Waits and Pink Floyd got together and let Paul yelp a little on top of the tracks. There's maybe 2 decent songs here. I can only imagine the audience for this record would be McCartney completists, arrogant experimental music snobs and conspiracy freaks who can't wait to play the whole thing backwards.
If McCartney is in any way connected with IAAP or was so desperate to generate hype for this turkey of an album and condoned IAAP's disgusting videos then my opinion of Paul is at an all time low.
You'll be seeing my copy on Ebay shortly.
if paul is behind this and it sure looks like it could be true, then what will the next step be, now the lid is off?
I don't think the lid is off anything to be honest. It could simply be a case of Paul saying "Hey, I've made a freaky album so why don't I take over the freaky shit that's online about me and get them all to shell out money for a freaky CD that's definitely not going to sell well."
I"ll say this. If you were one of the handful of people who thought IAAP was going to expose Paul as a fake then this is a really depressing day for you.
Anonymous, the "no no sam, it ain't no anagram" and "the fireman is no mason" were not the work of IAAP, they were long ago included in the promotional interview and website set up for the Fireman project. IAAP has flashed the six or seven phrases from that defunct site such as "the fireman is no mason" and "the fireman blows his mind" (as has ykmn231) but IAAP has never offered any anagram solutions for them. The only "solved" anagram I can think of from IAAP is King of Cosmania = Son of the Magickian, although that one might have been on NIR first (does anyone know?). It's not a true anagram because it only uses a part of the original phrase (The king of cosmania and surrounding regions or something like that), and generally "magickian" is not a term Crowley used to identify himself, although he started the practice of inserting a "K" into "magick" to differentiate it from old ideas about magic. "The fireman is no nickname--simply a warm place in the head" doesn't sounds more like a sales pitch than an actual anagram.
I stand corrected then.
Still a lousy CD though. What was Paul thinking?
What was Paul thinking? One could ask that of just about everything he's done since 1970 (although he showed flashes of brilliance up through Venus and Mars, and here and there up to the present).
Since around the time of White Album/Abbey Road, Paul has increasingly liked the idea of just coming up with whatever ideas come into his head, with little objective critique. This Fireman was done one song per day, and I dare say even Lennon and McCartney would have ended up with some utter rubbish had they tried that approach for an entire album.
Yeah yeah , nice album cover, nice record sound...blah blah blah....now, Paul is dead or not? or replaced? or anything ? or nothing?
The first was PABLO, here see:
http://paulisdead.creatuforo.com/que-tipo-bravo-tema701.html
Ha! Reenter Rotten Cult, Hash Hair Woman!
"Yeah yeah , nice album cover, nice record sound...blah blah blah....now, Paul is dead or not? or replaced? or anything ? or nothing?"
Yeah, not dead or replaced. Have a good one, bro.
I wonder when Paul is gonna comment on this phenomenon.
Didn't the press sort of "out" him on the Fireman stuff before there was any official comment on that?
They still owe Mikey (and by extension all of us) an interview, I think.
Okay, okay, here's the interview:
Q: is Paul dead? Was he replaced?
IAAP: nope.
Q: are you Paul?
IAAP: nope.
Q: was the Rotten Apple series viral marketing for Fireman?
IAAP: nope.
Q: anything earth-shattering in those suitcases?
IAAP: nope.
Q: what is the Love Code you said would blow our minds?
IAAP: The word "Love" when mirrored looks kind of like the word "Code." Other than that, beats the hell out of me.
Q: Why did you go to all the trouble, then?
IAAP: Like most YouTube directors, I was hoping to bring in some viewers and maybe generate some interest in my original tunes.
Q: So should we keep waiting or is there never going to be any major mind blowing secret revealed?
IAAP: keep waiting. You guys are excellent waiters. Sorry, English is not my first language.
Q: Aha! so you ARE Paul!
IAAP: can't make this stuff up, folks.

Now the sun turns out his light.
Rudolf Koch (1876-11-20 - 1934-04-09) was a leading German calligrapher, typographic artist and teacher, born in Nuremberg. He was primarily a calligrapher with the Gebr. Klingspor foundry. He created several typefaces, both in fraktur and roman styles. Fritz Kredel studied under Koch at the Offenbach School of Design.
Koch wrote a book comprised of 493 old-world symbols, monograms and runes entitled

Hi, we made this discovery long ago in our spanish forum. You can check it here: http://paulisdead.creatuforo.com/que-tipo-bravo-tema701.html
:)

Taf and the NIR folks can give you those details. In fact, Taf recently mentioned the sudden IAAP focus on the second "Crowley" image on Pepper after Jarvitronics' post.
More on Rudolf Koch and Geometric231 (a.k.a. Kabel):
Born in Nuremberg, one of the great centres of printing, Koch was a deeply religious man who tried to unite work and life in a harmonious whole.
In 1898, Koch discovered art nouveau and started to experiment with calligraphy. Nearly all the types he designed later were developed from calligraphy.
He had to leave school early when his father, a sculptor, died. He served an apprenticeship as a metal worker. He got a post as designer with the Klingspor Foundry and it was here that he designed his many typefaces including Deutsche Schrift, Wilhelm Klingspor Schrift, and Locarno.
"Lettering gives me the purest and greatest pleasure."
His last typeface design was Claudius, a sparkling German black letter which had to be cut by his son, Paul, because Rudolf Koch died on April 4, 1934. Koch, because of his innate ability to teach and communicate, influenced not only his own generation but all type designers, present and future, who are still searching for the typographic Holy Grail.
Kabel is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by German typeface designer Rudolf Koch, and released by the Klingspor foundry in 1927. The face was named to honor the newly completed trans-Atlantic telephone cable. (Get the link? YKMN231 sure did: "You Know My Name, Look Up The Number!)
The Beatles used Kabel in for the film titling in their 1960s animated classic, Yellow Submarine.
Like many of the typefaces that Rudolf Koch designed for printing use, Kabel is a carefully constructed and drawn. The basic forms were influenced by the Ancient Roman stone-carved letters, which consisted of just a few pure and clear geometric forms, such as circles, squares, and triangles. Koch also infused Kabel with some elements of Art Deco, making it appear quite different from other geometric modernist typefaces from the 1920s, like Futura.
BOOK of SIGNS
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am curious to know whether or not the members of Led Zeppelin had a copy of Koch's Book of Signs when they set about choosing the symbols on Led Zeppelin IV:
The four symbols on the label and inside sleeve of Led Zeppelin IV, representing Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and Robert Plant (from left to right) respectively, they are also thought to represent fire, water, earth and air. The symbols are ancient Pagan sigils for these four elements, and may be referred to as both Runes and sigils.
This also points me back at the curious semaphore on the cover of "Help!" (also suspected by some to be an "elemental" code).
