Glove At First Sight

Thirst Among Equals

A man was arrested for robbing a Starbucks in Boulder, Colorado - when he returned two days later for a coffee. He was wearing the same yellow gloves, red backpack and wire-rimmed glasses he allegedly wore during the robbery. He fled after he was spotted by a detective who was in the shop, quizzing staff about the raid.

Pop Star(bucks) Role For Sir Paul McCartney

Pointing out stories you may have missed. We'll drink to this idea – with our coffee cups. Sir Paul McCartney has been named as the first signing to the music label of coffee house chain Starbucks. The company announced plans last week to sign established and new acts to Hear Music, which has previously released albums of licensed songs.
Its biggest success to date has been the Grammy-winning `Genius Loves Company’ album of Ray Charles duets. Sir Paul is now in the fifth decade of a successful music career, which began with The Beatles in the 1960s. It is expected that his new album will be in the shops in early June.
Glen Barros, president of Concord Music Group, which will partner Hear Music, said recording artists should be attracted by the idea of a built-in audience in Starbucks, particularly at a time when digital downloading has created "a stressful time for the music industry".
