Him saying the song was written by a 'satan". It should probably please this man that Sting changed a lot and that our singer nowadays sometimes even is smelling 'holy'.;) C ya magda - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

I've added some changes in here, and this is a more thorough transcript than other postings. If someone has the official lyrics (although what's printed in liner notes, is often not what Sting actually sings), please email them to me (I'm very curious). Thanks.

The official leaflet states that he'll be "playing material from >his forthcoming new album 'Long Distance'". The people who wrote the leaflet were a bit wrong. His new album is called Second Nature. His new album will be released somewhere in August or September. Did anyone from the list went to see his concert in Bath last weekend? He must have played some of his new material. That part of the email message was right. What did it sound like? Was Dominic all by himself or where there any other musicians? I finally managed to listen to the Montreux Jazz festival concert with Dominic and Manu Katche (thanks, Benjamin!). Most of the material that you hear is from Dominic's last album First Touch. I liked the way Manu K. and that bassplayer (no, not Sting!) added this interesting sound to his music. Well, that's all for now....

What I heard was, "Leave him for me," which makes sense, because he did call to his security guy Larry before that saying, "Hey Larry, come here a minute." Then you can see Sting go to the front of the stage, where it looks like they brought the guy in the audience down front, and Sting bends forward and spits on him! So he was saying, "Don't do anything to him, leave him for me." That all ads up, as he'd been screaming at the guy saying, "You f--k--g bastard, I'm gonna get you!" So that's how he got him, by spitting on him. Check it out. I've watched it maybe two trillion times (as I'm sure most of you have). Sally "Shoe salesman wanted to sale some...SHOES!"

However, I do agree with "rhythm" and "tune" (Sting's enunciation is hard to pick up, but he does sing "tune" and not "toe"); "some time for reflection is there"; "beast/rein" seems likely as well. I am not completely convinced of the plow/land line, but you could be correct (and it's the best suggestion I've read so far; good ears if you're correct). "crop/rotation" is also correct.

He saw that I was being really obsessive and weird about it, so when I asked him what he thought, he was scared to give me an honest opinion because he began to think I was somehow related to Sting! He said: "I don't want to put Sting down in case he's your dad." So I said "You think I look Sting?" and he said "Yeah, you sorta do" and told me that the woman sitting next to him is CONVINCED Sting is my dad. Honest. Man, did I have a good laugh. He put down the song at first, saying it was "easy listening" and that Sting lost his coolness after Dune. But that was just to push my buttons to see if I'd have a fit - I did! He actually really liked the song. Has anyone had any neutral feedback of the song? I'm interested to hear how non-Sting freaks would respond to it. Later, Fred. P.S. How many times can you listen to BND in a row? It's on continuous play all day long on my computer at work. It must be in the 100's by now. There's no side-effect to this type of intense/obsessive listening is there? - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Yep. I still don't care for BND too much; it's only beginning to grow on me because I attempted to decipher the lyrics for so long . . . With the exception of one stanza, I find lyrics weak and sappy. I also find the music to be dated, for a pop song, and again, Sting has not changed his sound very much. > I'm interested to hear how non-Sting > freaks would respond to it. My girlfriend listened to it along with me the other day. About halfway through, she commented, "This song goes on and on and on . . . soooo boring . . ." My reply was, "This version is probably the radio edit, too." After listening to the full song, she said, "Doesn't Sting write anything decent anymore? I prefer his older stuff." (She likes "They Dance Alone", "We Work the Black Seam Together", "Why Should I Cry For You", "Russians", "Fields of Gold", etc) I suspect A&M has made a commercial blunder in releasing this song as a single (not that I care . . .). Sting seems to do better in the UK and Canada than in the US, but I doubt this song will be a success in North America (except on adult contemporary radio stations for about a month). If the video is shot through a drab green filter (like "Let Your Soul"--for that matter all of the videos from Mercury Falling were brutal commercial and artistic blunders in my opinion), this song, and the new CD will not sell well (although 1 million copies is nothing to sneeze at, I guess). A good video can save their marketing hineys, though. Yes, yes, love heals all . . . love rules . . . love is powerful . . . *YAWN* He doesn't say it uniquely enough for me to stay interested. (I suppose I could be missing some inner meaning or interpretive symbolism, but in this case, I doubt it) I'll probably have to console myself with interesting demos and b-sides. (That's not completely true: there's bound to be at least one or two songs I like on this cd . . .) (This is purely rhetorical; I'm not really interested in a respons) How many of you like this song just 'cause it represents new Sting material (taking into account your prefences and biases)?

Those lyrics are primitative even compared to Mercury Falling,for Pete's sake! The fact is,Sting is no longer the musician I spend all my days worshipping. Sam mentioned Sting forgetting his Police roots-if that wasn't bad enough,he seems to be remembering some older,decidely less noble roots. Anyone else happen to notice who contributes hammond organ to Mercury Falling? I always knew,even before I saw that name,that Mercury Falling was really a Last Exit album. sincerely, obsessed Police fan - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Then, Jim Orme asked: > Under what circumstances would that characteristic not be bad? Not all songs played on adult contemporary radio stations are bad, in my opinion (just the vast majority ;-) ). While perhaps Every Breath You Take and Every Little Thing are a bit "edgier" (but not quite the ol' "prog. rock" either) than anything Sting did on Mercury Falling, I do occasionally hear those songs played on adult contemporary/easy listening stations. In my opinion, those two songs are not bad. I mean, these days, I hear Pearl Jam ("Wishlist"), Red Hot Chilli Peppers ("Scar Tissue"?? Can't remember the title), and U2 (various stuff) on adult contemporary radio stations. All of these bands were once considered "prog rock/alternative". Hard to imagine Sting or The Police on adult contemporary stations . . . Then again, I never thought I'd hear Sting being played on a country music station. Anyway, the song, "Desert Rose" should be promising . . . Here's hoping I like the rest of the album, Brand New Day.

I share similar feelings to you about the new single. I would not dismiss the entire album as yet though. We'll Be Together was the first single off NLTS, we know that WBT is in no way representative of the masterpiece NLTS is. In fact, if I were to base my opinion on NLTS by WBT, I would have guessed it was garbage. I am hoping that BND is a repeat of NLTS, and from the initial reports from Toni, Giovanni, etc., I have reason to believe so. For some reason, Sting or his entourage believe that the 1st single needs to be the most Pop dribble sounding song off the album as the main curtain drawer/ introduction/ preview to the world of the album. This has been a mistake throughout Sting's solo career. Every first single (except IIELMFIY) was a song I liked least on his albums. Initially, DOBT, it was understandable as the majority of the album was too "complex" for Pop radio but even "Fortress" would have been a better introduction. On NLTS, if Fragile was the first single, I am sure the album would have done MUCH better than it did, instead the nonsense of WBT was world's preview. Fragile being released as the 4th single, was way too late as by that time, the public was "Stinged out". On MF, everyone knew that Hounds of Winter would have teared up the charts, instead, we get LYSBYP. The message I am getting is that whoever is making the 1st single decisions is totally out of touch. They totally underestimate or believe the public is simply stupid. Come on, Fragile was a universal song, why did Miles tell Sting he needed the BS of WBT as a first single? Who would have thought that a Latin influenced song (La Vida Loca) would be tearing up Top 40 radio? No one! Although we hear a lot of garbage on radio, I believe the average person out there wants something different, instead, Sting releases 1st singles that emulate top 40 radio instead of giving them what he's good at, musical hybrids. All the reggae/rock hybrids worked on the radio with the Police, almost all top 10 hits, they were different, unique, people loved it, Walking on the Moon, Every Little thing, Message, none of that was pure pop music. I would not say that Sting's washed up or God forbid, needs to reunite with the Police, because he is still writing good music, it's just that the good songs are not released (or released too late), end up as B sides (Beneath a Desert Moon) or as movie theme songs (The Mighty). My proof would be that I am sure the single BND is one of my least liked songs off the album. If I am wrong, and BND is one of the better songs, I would seriously reasses my fandom with Sting.

Cleveland, Ohio. I just have to share my Sting moment -- about the only Sting/Police-related thing they have there, other than a few Police songs in the databases (Every Breath You Take and Roxanne), is Sting's "jacket" (and I even hesitate to use that term) from the Synchronicity I video, which I have not seen. What an offense to good taste ... I know his fashion sense left something to be desired in those days (the red/yellow/blue fringed numbers went well with the coke-induced frothing at the corners of his mouth in the Outlandos concert video), but really. On a mannequin that looked like a 20-something Macaulay Culkin, the remnants of a sari were displayed. Apparently Sting felt the need to shred and toss paint on an otherwise decent sari, fringing it up and making what is essentially a big bird costume. And that's all we see of Sting in the Rock Hall of Fame.

Come on, many of you haven't heard the song yet and are already bashing the song because you claim it has soft lyrics and the like. Come on, Sting is older now. You expect him to pop out yet another Roxanne? Yeah I'd love it myself but that would be DE-EVOLUTION. BND is another step in Sting's evolution and I *pray and hope* that people see the song for what its really worth instead of the way the few of you on this list are. (Brand New) Angel C.

Maybe I have not given the song time to grow on me but from a few listens, it's just too poppy for me. I feel like it's something I can hear on my local top 40 station. Maybe there is a hook or a deeper meaning that I might catch on to later but I am not impressed at the moment. If a fan is not allowed to express his displeasure, then how would we know when we do strike gold. Can't find pleasure without pain, "King of Pain" syndrome. We must be allowed to express dissatisfaction.

I made a sarky comment about Fields of Gold being typical of the sort of stuff Sting used to do in the old days before he went all easy-listening and mushy. For the record: I *like* Sting forgetting his Police roots. I think he's much better now, as a solo artist, than back in the early 80s. He's become a better musician, and even though MF wasn't that good, there were still some songs on it that were up to the high standard of TST, TSC or NTLS.

Oh yes, that's the sort of phallic reference Andy Partridge would make, but you know when you hear this sort of thing from him that it IS a phallic reference - Sting I'm not so sure about - it's probably something far deeper than this. Interestingly, the Chalkhills and Children mailing list had a discussion a few days ago about how they thought Andy Partridge was trying to emulate Sting's vocals on a couple of tracks from XTC's new album Apple Venus - there were a few people slagging off Sting, but also a few who said they loved the Police. You can check out the discussions at http://www.chalkhills.org/digests/ There are several days of things related to Sting.

I never suggested that I wanted to hear a sequel--only that these are examples of good songs (this was another list members' interpretation of what I wrote). Then again, I find this highly ironic--those who supported Mercury Falling were listening to rehashed (seuqels) music (I was Brought to my Senses/Wild Wild Sea, All Four Seasons/When We Dance, interlude during Valparaiso/I Burn For You) anyway. "Brand New Day" (in lyric) is pretty much the sequel/conclusion to "King of Pain" as it is. We've had a progression from sad to happy with Sting's lyrics . . . > It seems like these lyrics are Sting exploiring new > terrotory Sorry . . . "love is such a powerful thing" is not exploring new territory. Sting's sound has not changed significantly on this song; he is not exploring new ideas (again, unless I've really missed something in my interpretation . . .); and he has done nothing earth-shattering with this piece ('cept perhaps for creating a pop song that is potentially catchy if I listen long enough). By the way, I am not bashing the new cd on the basis of one song; I haven't bashed the new cd at all (and I sincerely hope the rest of the new cd is better, since I will probably be buying it, no matter what). The idea that I must give Sting some leeway--that not even he can constantly produce great music, does not change the fact that I don't care for the lyrics to BND . . . this is akin to lowering my expectations for mediocrity--and no, I do not expect mediocrity from Sting. I am holding out to listen to the full version (as well) and not the radio edit. I do not wish for this to turn into yet another war against/in favour of Sting. Those of you who do like Brand New Day, I respect your opinion, and you have every right to like the song.

Like Past albums I was'nt crazy about it at first. Now, I must say I really like the song. I agree with other list members that it has the capability of being a huge hit. I really like the chord changes in the "one day you could be looking" section. I like this song better than most of the first songs from the past albums ( ex. All this time, We'll be together, If I ever lose my faith, Soul Pilot) I like it as much as I liked (Set them free ) when it was released. I showed the song to 3 people so far and all the feedback I recieved is good. I am very eager to hear the rest of the album now. I give the song 90 of a possible 100. The only reason I graded it 10pts lower is because I dont care for the drum machine, and would much prefer if Vinnie played the track by himself. Overall I think the song is very well done! As far as how I felt about the first releases of the other albums, I warn in advance these are my opinions and other list members have the right to dissagree, so let's not argue about how this song compares to the others, This is my opinion you may have a different view. Thats cool with me!! Take Care, Terrence Sheehan - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

I thought it was just "okay". I really don't think it'll chart well here in America (definetly not top 20). I think the lyrics are kind of weak ("fuddy duddy"? C'mon Sting...). Stevie Wonder's harmonica is great though and it kind of saves the song in a way. Honestly I was dissapointed with it. Who knows though, I mean, some of you seem to like it, and I guess everyone's opinion is going to be different. Take Care, Malav PS. I think maybe the problem is with his band. He should lose everyone and get some new musicians. I've heard of a couple of guys, one of them is named Andy and the other I think is named Stewart.

I can't believe that some of you out there would dismiss the new single based on the lyrics without having heard the song, and then go on to put down the entire album, which no one here has heard in its entirety. Those of you who make such assumptions, would you still make the same assumptions about Police songs if you hadn't heard the music? Most of the big Police hits had simple lyrics. If you read Walking on the Moon without ever having heard the music, you'd probably think it's crap. I guess this is one of the drawbacks of the internet: getting the lyrics before the music. Not too long ago, it used to be the other way around. So now let me direct my attention to the people who have actually heard the song. I've been listening to it for three days straight all day long, on continuous play, and I have yet to tire of it. I think that says a lot about the song. I don't think I could have said the same about LYSBYP when it first came out. Let Your Soul seemed to go on for ever, and at some point I wished it would fade out already. BND seems to go on forever, and you don't want it to stop. If the album version is indeed over 6 min long, then I'm glad. This will be one of the highlights of the concert and a great sing-along. I wouldn't be surprised if Sting wrote this song specifically to perform it live. If you compare BND to Fragile, Fields of Gold or We Work the Black Seem, those songs aren't exactly great ambiance setters and great sing-along songs. BND will get people out of their seats and clapping their hands (although it's hard to get tight-ass 40-something upscale "I'm at a Sting concert because I have connections" Americans out of their seats.) I admit, BND doesn't offer anything new as far as lyrics or music. But it's still great music (I don't want to start another originality tread on this list, but originality in art does not necessarily make for good art, and good art need not be original.) You're not getting the deep, powerful, original lyrics, or odd time signatures, Vinnie's great drumming, but you're getting a song with energy, a great hook, great harmonica from Stevie Wonder which helps to establish the hook, and immature, outrageous and hilarious lyrics. How could you not love: I'm the rhythm in your tune I'm the sun and you're the moon I'm a bat and you're a cave You're the beach and I'm the wave I'm the plow and you're the land You're the glove and I'm the hand I'm the train and you're the station I'm a flagpole to your nation yeah yeah yeah yeah.... Yes, in case you haven't noticed it, or I case you're trying to deny it, Sting is making blatant sexual penetration references. Maybe he was in an Austin Powers mood when he wrote this! ;) I love this. Here we are expecting sappy Fields of Gold lyrics, and he goes "I'm gonna plow your land, pull into your station, plant my flag on your nation. Yeah Baby!" Then there's: Stand up, all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl Stand up ,all you lovers in the world Startin' up a brand new day Anyone standing during that part of the concert is either a putz or in a wheelchair! Yes, it's generic lyrics and it's not a musical revelation, but it works extremely well. My Sting this is a long post. Sorry. It's been 3 1/2 years since the last Sting album, and I'm really psyched for BND and the new single has been like a long drink of cold water after a long drought. All the negative posts about BND have been like someone telling me "You know, there's bacteria in that water." You know what? I don't care. I might get sick from the bacteria, but I need that water to survive! - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

So I get to put my two cents in, right? Here 'tis: Sting's new single, "Brand New Day", is his newest, of course, and by all reckoning it certainly could merit the attention of a few people. Touted originally as a 'breezy pop song' I think that the opening harmonica by Stevie Wonder definitely confirms that. Additionally, I think it added a tinge of loneliness, which helps set the tone for Sting's opening lyrics. The drum machine that opens up along with them leaves something to be desired, after the nice harmonica tone. However, regarding the mechanical feel, it drives the song along rather well, certainly during the chorus. I think they may have been able to do better by having Vinnie cover each stanza, or strip the drum machine down between each chorus and let play it up, and switch those roles at the chorus. By doing this, I felt that something that could have benefited this tune was actually a small drum solo by Vinnie, but with a played down drum machine to keep the driving feel the song has. Listening harder to the percussion, I realized that the moraccas seemed a bit too much, and could have given even more dance pulse if they had been used less, maybe in a more reggae feel, as opposed to the incessant eighth note 'shake' [ha ha....] (eighth notes, as long as the song is in 6/4, otherwise it's sixteenth notes if the time signature is 6/8). Sting's lyrics seemed quite simple, of course. The lyrics implied, I believe, that the singer of the song had mussed things up royally, but until recently he hadn't realized just how perfect his former lover was for him. If this song hadn't accented the fact that they're so perfect for each other, perhaps it would not have broken new ground. Someone correct me if I've missed on this one, however, I believe this is rather new ground. Most of Sting's songs go on about how the singer is *madly* in love with a woman. Perhaps she is gone and he can't find her/ or she is gone permanently (ie Hounds of Winter WHICH I might add is a play on the title of a classical piece by W. W. Grainger! hah... bet some of you didn't know *that* :) (If I ever meet Sting I would *really* like to get a confirmation on whether this is coincidence (which I doubt, it's a rather popular piece) or not.... ---Benjamin???:) ) perhaps she loves someone else.... but most often, generally, it appears as though he is pining for his love *before* any type of relationship has been formed, or as in Every Little Thing, etc. he is already with the lovely lady. With this song, there is a chance he can get her back, unlike Mercury Falling's 'Hounds...' or ' I'm So Happy...' So, he has lost his love, and it sounds like he's lost sight of all that truly makes him happy, " I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money" implying that he needs to get rid of it all to start over with her, or, possibly more deeply, to get rid of his pride/old ideas. The opening lyrics aren't deep, true. However, as a pop song, and even as just a song, I think that using bluntness like that is very effective. It's easy to relate, easy to connect and understand the scene he's painting in the first place. He asks all those questions, gets us thinking....gets us to confirm our pain, equates by saying,"Love is pain, I hear you say... etc." Then sort of digs a little by playing on the fact that the singer doesn't want the pain, but is also really lonely, and wants her back, witht he "old boook in rainy weather..." lines. Bah, but enough of lyrical analysis. The bluntness of this song, again, can be seen as it's greatest strength. Have you ever been looking for your glasses, spend fifteen minutes and realize that they're on your face? Or look for something all over the house, and realize it's been on the kitchen table the whole time, right in front of you? Sting's message seems to be "Take her back, you light blinded fool!" and he certainly smacks over the head with it repeatedly. However, that is certainly a bit reminiscent of pop music to begin with.... but that's ok. If it's right in front of us, perhaps we just don't want to see it or, we just miss it, despite it's imminent presence. That really seems to be Sting's intent. To simply tell it as it is. To relate directly. There's symbolism. Rivers being wide and swimming across (for all you Billy Joel fans... aha! the river of dreams??? eh? ).... thing's like that. However, there may be another layer to this symbolism.... Sting's lyrics near the end suggest dualities. sum and equation, beast and rein, etc. These are dualities in which one is useless without the other. One item *needs* the other. So, although the singer realizes that he needs her, perhaps the 'thinking in a brand new way' is, to some extent, no longer quite so selfish. Perhaps he realizes that she is just as crushed, and to let the chance go by to put two objects in harmony, the way they were meant to be, would only bring *both* of them a lifetime of misery. So, to those of you who don't like it, that's ok. I certainly respect that opinion. However, I hope that you consider some of this message if your reasons for dissatisfaction were due to a lack of symbolism/depth. I may be totally wrong on all of this, though. It is really just my interpretation... however, as the name of the song and album imply, new ideas and ways of thinking are at hand. So perhaps, just maybe, I've hit a bullseye or two, and just maybe, perhaps, shed some light on this situation, just like a sunrise on a brand new day. Til Again -Dave I might buy into the statement that this is the sequel to 'King of Pain', although the thought that he's no longer the King of Pain seems rather foreign... - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

The message, the thesis, the underlying point, is not specifically about getting someone back, but about how great and powerful love is. This song is a coversation between narrator/singer audience. The main characters are "you" (the listener) and "I" (speaker). The narrator of the song has some wisdom to impart . . . "Do you think love sucks because you've been hurt in a prior relationship (or do you feel that love is just long and painful)? Well then, let me tell you something . . . You're wrong; I've found Jesus . . . er, I mean love. And love is grand. And you can start over again . . . Stand up, clap your hands and be happy. ['Cause I'm sick of all the previous pain I went through and everybody has to leave the darkness sometime . . . hope, hope, hope and a little healin'"] (and this is where this song continues from Mercury Falling *Yawn*) "It could happen to you, just like it happened to me. "I say love's such a force, if you find yourself in it, yeah." Cliche. The narrator does change perspectives during the chorus (thinking outloud) . . . and then as if remembering who he's talking to, returns to addressing his audience at the end, "Stand up all you lovers in the world . . ." >he certainly smacks over the head with it repeatedly This song, lyrically, is about as subtle as a sledgehammer (although I do like that one stanza containing the flagpole line). But this comes down to tastes and preferences . . . I just don't care for the lyrics.

The flagpole is, without doubt, a phallic symbol. Bats going through caves; trains going through stations; hands fitting in gloves . . . It's pretty obvious.

I find that the lyrics are not SO = BAD One of the thing with Sting lyrics that I've found one more time in this = song is: "Man, how can he know so exactly the feelings I had in my life" You know, when he sings that you see a picture of the girl with whom you used to live with hidden in a book. your love story has ended and you = fall=20 on this so cute picture that just put you down on your knees...

I need to be home to tape it. I saw it when it first aired last December; a nice first-person perspective on the construction of Mercury Falling. So good that I had to watch it again at midnight when studying for finals at a coffee place in New Brunswick... just kinda took over the television and flipped from BET to Bravo. <grin> And stayed in the comfy chair until it was over.

When suddenly, I come across this box filled with t-shirts. It's obvious that no one has touch this box in a VERY long time (there's a layer of dust on the top shirt.... and all the shirts are neatly folded)... so I decide to rummage through to see what I can find.... lo and behold, what do I excavate? A brand new Soul Cages US Tour t-shirt! Tag still on it! I exclaim in elated tones... and hurriedly purchase it. (for all of ten dollars.....) Wow. So, there's my story. Not a LOT of relevance to the list, just that I'm really pleased to come across something like that, to further point out that yes, I am a Sting fan, and yes, I'm darn proud of it.

I don't know... but the ending to All This Time seemed very beautiful to me... and I never could quite put a bead on why. I realized, as I was just listening to it, that a sof t background vocal of Sting singing, "All This Time" on the scale degrees of 3 2 1 over and over and over... and it adds just the right feel of being a river to the end there.... anyone else ever notice this? It should be on the right stereo channel, mostly, and I have these headphones that came with the player I have here (which are surprisingly *very* nice! ) so I've been noticing some of the more subtle musical hints..... Also, did anyone find it funny that the voices singing the words "Love love love, is stronger than justice...." after the last stanza , in the song of the same name, have an echo which sounds like an angelic choir (the voices being the brothers that were knocked off....)?

First of all, you know Sting's music is going to cross many different spectrum of music. I haven't heard this song BND yet. But for those of you who keep saying that his music has gotten softer is irrational. As I said before, Sting's music is very hard to digest at times for mainstream music fans. I'm not a mainstream music fan. I hate mainstream music(unless it's good-but that only seems to occur due to freaky coincidence). And I find that set of lyrics to be mainstream music. Beesting says: His music has always brought something new to the music world even though he might have borrowed the idea from another source. I agree, these days you hear everyone on adult contemporary stations. It is hard to distinguish between what used to be alternative and mainstream music. Sting new music will not appeal to everyone on the list, but I do admire the fact that he keeps changing his music to some extent on every album. It is irrational to compare the music of Police with Sting. The sad thing is,I don't even need to draw comparisons between Sting's music and that of the Police to feel disappointed with it anymore. If I did,I wouldn't have any real complaints with Sting's music. Beesting says: You cannot expect Sting to write a sequel to such songs like "They Dance Alone" and "Fragile" on every album. How many musicians are out there who can continue write songs from exceptional to good. While the Lyrics on the Song BND might be primitive to some or boring to others, It will be refreshing or great to others. SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE JUST TO DEMANDING, NO MUSICIAN CAN KEEP HIS MAINSTREAM FANS HAPPY ALL THE TIME. Thanks.... You speak the truth here,but you're assuming that I think Sting's recent music to be fairly okay. I don't,I'm afraid. For the most part,I can't stand it. I don't want Sting to be keeping his mainstream fans happy all the time,but as I see it,that's all that he seems to care about now. Music seems to have gone completely out of the picture. I'm not even asking that Sting's music be good;I'm just looking for some effort. I can't find any. I'm glad that most of you can. Angel C. Little say: I'm getting very sick of these BND bashing postings. Come on, many of you haven't heard the song yet and are already bashing the song because you claim it has soft lyrics and the like. Come on, Sting is older now. You expect him to pop out yet another Roxanne? Yeah I'd love it myself but that would be DE-EVOLUTION. Actually,I think what he's doing now is de-evolution. If you think popping out another "Roxeanne" would be bad,then you wouldn't want to know how I feel. I see him popping out "Whispering Voices" again. >I said: Those lyrics are primitative even compared to Magda says: I would say 'So Lonely' and 'Next to You' are much more primitive... Really? Take another look at "So Lonely";maybe you missed all the clever lines. Or maybe you didn't. Regardless... I said:Sam mentioned Sting forgetting his Police roots-if that wasn't bad > enough,he seems to be remembering some older,decidely less noble > roots. Magda says: You mean his early Jazz-roots, I love him for that.... I have no problem with jazz,thanks. I love jazz. If Sting can put out more great jazz songs,I would greatly enjoy it. I meant his Last Exit roots. Maybe I judge Last Exit too fast,having only heard 1 of their 2 studio recordings and 4 of their 12(I think) demos,but it seems very similar to Sting's material on Mercury Falling and the miniscule bit of Brand New Day that was kindly provided. I'm not trying to rain down on Sting's upcoming album too much,I'm just still a little upset about Mercury Falling,and the first grains of Brand New Day don't sound like a change is coming. I agree that the first single is no indication of the album whatsoever. I hope Brand New Day is Sting's best album ever;but I'm too nervous to put any blind faith in Sting again.

I can't believe that some of you out there would dismiss the new single based on the lyrics without having heard the song, and then go on to put down the entire album, which no one here has heard in its entirety. Those of you who make such assumptions, would you still make the same assumptions about Police songs if you hadn't heard the music? Most of the big Police hits had simple lyrics. If you read Walking on the Moon without ever having heard the music, you'd probably think it's crap. I guess this is one of the drawbacks of the internet: getting the lyrics before the music. Not too long ago, it used to be the other way around. Ok, so in retaliation to people disliking the new single U go out and bash Police music?? Hello that's other people's opinions, music's subjective, not everyone is going to like the same thing! People chill out, it's a song, not a galactic ruler! And in defense to WOTM, what makes that song excellent is the fact that Sting made it simple, and took lyrics about alcoholism and made it eloquent! Now tell me another song that could make that subject eloquent ?

I'm reading all this 'I like/I don't like' comments about the single and I have nothing to say about it because everybody react following his own personal feeling, driven by his own personal attitude, and that's ok. It would be a miracle if someone could write a song that everybody like! Anyway, I just want to add that now, listening to brand new day several times, it reminds me that it is very different from the rest of the songs I've heard from the album; it seems like they have choosen the most commercial song, but you'll listen to some tracks wich are completely different; by the way I love this song, I really like it, the chord progression is very good (above all when he sings 'One day you could be looking....) and I like this way of singing, it seems very 'British' , do y' know what I mean?

Anyway, all essays on the story agree with my interpretation--that the story does indeed contain sexual imagry.

There was also an "Extended Mix" of the song: the Nothing Like The Sun version with more of an intro and some other internal extensions... no added lyrics/solos, if that's what you were thinking. As long as I'm on the subject, I actually do enjoy that song... a lot better than a couple of others on the album.

First of all, I would never bash The Police. My comment was simply about the people who said BND is crap, even though THEY HAVEN'T HEARD THE SONG! Some people are founding their opinion of the song solely on the lyrics. My point was: can you take a great Police song like WOTM or Roxanne, and form an opinion of the song based on the lyrics, without having heard the music? So people are entitled to their opinions, but judging the song, and subsequently judging the album before having heard it is simply futile. And one last thing - The Police rule, and I don't need to be reminded of that, thank you very much! Sorry for the bad temper, but someone touched a nerve!

I still don't.... but I can appreciate the fact that it described his relationship with Trudie... (they never planned to get married... it was just a 'given'. From what I've read they only got married to give their kids actual proof.) Rock Steady I like, tho. Any particulars why you didn't? I thought it was *very* funny... especially with the girl saying to her significant other near the end "Got any more bright ideas?" on the left stereo channel, and then a few beats later, on the right one, someone going ,"Arggh!!!!". Also, Sting rhymed the lines "Threw down a twig" and "That meant we could blow this gig" which I thought was significantly humorous... and just the whole 'Noah's Ark' sort of remix... I thought that was *very* clever.... but opinions differing are ok, too. :) Til Again -Dave - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

I love Secret Marriage too. It's a very nice song to play on the piano by your lonesome. (although not the easiest song, metre wise). I find it has a classical feel; some of the chords are certainly very classical. Maybe those who dislike it dislike classical music in general? (I'm not a big classical fan; but I like the 'muddy' cinematic music of the Russians, like Moegorski, Prokoviev. Remember Sting nicked a tune from Prokoviev?). It's great the way Sting can go from a Summertimish kinda Jazz-song (Sister Moon), to a '60 rocksong (Little Wing) to a Eisler inspired piece (SM). The man's a musical octopus. I actually never skip a song on NLTS: in my book it's absolutely Sting's finest album. I love the musical diversity on it. My favorite song on the album must be Be Still My Beating Heart. And why people keep knocking We'll Be Together I'll never know. Great melodies, nicely structured song; great ending. Maybe it isn't totally in sync with the rest of the album: too mechanicly performed. I even like Rock Steady: it gently rocks like a boat and the lyrics give me a laugh.

If so, I apologize for being late. I thought it was interesting... June 28, 1999, 9:00 am PT What once would have been considered a stellar rock lineup gathered at the Hollywood Bowl Friday (June 25) night to help former Beatles producer George Martin and the house orchestra celebrate the group that first took the same stage 35 years earlier. Taking vocal and instrumental stabs at popular Fab Four tunes were a reunited Bangles and an almost-reunited Police (Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland), Peter Case (Plimsouls), Brad Delp (Boston), and Trevor Rabin (Yes) -- with Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) providing the sole '90s rock representation. As voiced by Case, "A Day in the Life" was a sound-alike worthy of the musical Beatlemania, while Delp did a better Paul McCartney on "Hey Jude" (arching eyebrow moves included) than McCartney has done himself on recent tours. "She's Leaving Home" featured tasteful vocals by Duritz with Bangles backup. But the Bangles didn't fare well during their spotlight on "Across the Universe" or "Blackbird," unwisely forfeiting the opportunity to harmonize. And a choir called Zephyr added nothing to "Eleanor Rigby" with its melodramatically operatic schmaltz. More intriguing were the instrumental renditions. Featuring violinist Pip Clarke, John Lennon's "Because" was exquisitely deconstructed into something resembling its inspiration: Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." And "Here, There and Everywhere" revealed fresh nuances in its melody. Although advancing deafness forced his retirement from production last year, the 73-year-old Martin -- whose long hair and tuxedo were a matching bright white -- appeared vivacious as he chopped the cold night air with his baton. As talented as Martin may still be, however, he is apparently unable to distinguish between beauty and doody in his source material. Rendering "I Want to Hold Your Hand" classically did nothing but trap 13,500 fans in an elevator, while Martin's own orchestral suite from "Yellow Submarine" provoked the same fast-forward reflex it does on the soundtrack. At least Martin was thoroughly affable, illuminating with anecdotes what he couldn't always with music. "John used to needle Paul for writing Muzak," he said before launching into a Case-voiced "I Am the Walrus." "But I think secretly he was envious." A hysterical story concerned what Martin was initially told after submitting McCartney's title track to the producer of the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die: "Great song. Who are we gonna get to sing it, Aretha Franklin?" On "Die" and most of the rockier songs, Copeland was the standout musician, displaying the forte for breakneck syncopation that makes him one of rock's best-ever drummers (although, inexcusably, he missed his cue into "The End's" drum solo). Copeland's Police-mate Summers was conversely lost in the mix, afforded not a single guitar solo. The inclusion of "She's Leaving Home" and "The Long and Winding Road" may reflect Martin's attempt to reclaim two rare Beatles ballads he was not intimately involved with recording. The score for the former was Mike Leander's, production on the latter was Phil Spector's. Graham Nash and guitarist Eric Johnson were listed on the program but did not appear. -- Corey Levitan - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

But whoever it was that turned us on to the mp3 link available, THANK YOU. It only took me a couple of listens and I was hooked. After hearing what Sting did musically with this song, it is obvious to me that this is a song he just wants to have some fun with (and maybe get a mainstream hit on the radio at the same time). A great song, in my opinion, for driving down the road and feeling positive about life. I hope he has some more serious stuff (lyrics-wise)on the CD as well, but musically this one is a winner. I am excited to hear the rest now. Those who haven't heard it yet and are feeling cynical already (like i was starting to feel), please wait until you do before you judge!

Note: I'll buy the single. This is my equivalent of listening to the radio.) One comment I don't think anyone has picked up yet: the bass line is *very* intricate. I think this is the main thing that keeps the song driving on at the end - that, and the fact that the same chord sequence is used for both verse, chorus, and instrumental break towards the end. (The chords for the run-in to the first chorus, and the middle-8 type bit after that, are *very* effective - especially helped by some really nice keyboard and guitar fills.) Another thought - I get the impression that there'll be some more interesting instrumental stuff either side of the current radio version, certainly if the album version is 5 minutes odd. Can anyone who has heard both versions confirm this?

Can anyone who has > heard both versions confirm this? Most likely they got the "radio edit" which is a shorter version of the song. I remember Benjamin mentioning that when he got to hear the songs that there was a second version of BND on the CD, a radio edit version that is about the same length of the one that we're listening to. So I wonder whats been cut out of the radio edit? Benjamin, care to fill us in? Angel C.

Much better than Let your Soul be your pilot, much better than All this time, much better than If you love someone....., and way better than We'll be together. However, musically it doesn't seem to show anything new at all (Sting had already used harmonica in the Summoner's tales days), so I still wonder what the album will be like. The drumming is nothing special, the new keyboard player doesn't seem to be doing anything original, and Dominic just plays his standard sounding backup guitar. The harmonica is great, and Sting's singing is ok I guess. It is a nice, friendly, catchy song, but I myself prefer when Sting gets moody. I kind of like it, but don't think it'll be a hit. - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

One thought: when, do you think, Sting will play bnd in concert? At the beginning, in the middle or at the end? I guess it sounds like a great finale, with the end of the song played for ten minutes or so....with Sting saying all the stuff like 'thank you'....the name of the musicians and so on....it could be really fantastic...try to imagine! I would put it at the end, or at least at the end of the main set, then he comes out and does some encores.

Can anyone who has > heard both versions confirm this? The intro of the song lasts a lot (I remember something like 1 minute) and it sounds great but not very intricate; there's a sound similar to the introduction for 'Don't Stand So close To Me' (not the melody, but the atmosphere) or 'When We Dance', then comes the sound of an acoustic guitar, but you don't recognise the mood of the song listening to the introduction, it keeps you waiting a lot. This is what I remember, but I only listened to it once, so maybe I should listen to it again to be more precise.

At the > beginning, in the middle or at the end? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Sting typically play the first track of the album at the beginning of the set? (If I Ever Lose My Faith and Hounds of Winter were at the beginning of the set, for instance.) I strongly expect this to be the first item on the setlist. It fits the pattern.

F. Martin & Co. Collaborate on First Classic Acoustic/Electric Edition Perhaps no other musician has the unique reputation and extraordinary follow of Sting. From his early work with the Police, which he disbanded at the peak of their popularity in 1984 in order to pursue his own solo career, to his unparalleled forays into jazz and progressive rock, Sting has redefined the boundaries of pop music. Sting incorporates elements of jazz, classical and world music into his recordings, writing songs with lyrics that are both literate and meaningful. In recognition of Sting's unique talents and his illustrious career, the Martin Guitar Company is proud to announce an exciting design collaboration between Martin, Sting, and renowned classical guitar maker, Thomas Humphrey. Blending the design and playing requirements of Sting with Martin's guitarmaking skill and Humphrey's patented design, the CMHS features Humphrey's trademark elevated neck and fingerboard facilitating much greater access to the highest notes. The CMHS incorporates the extraordinary arching of Humphrey's considerably thinner and unique lattice braced soundboard. The unique classical soundhole rosette on this model is earthy in its coloration, utilizing a simple yet tasteful pattern of concentric light and dark brown lines of natural wood, demarcated with thin stripes of black and white. The Sting Signature Model Classical Guitar has an arched soundboard of solid Western Red cedar. The back and sides are crafted from solid quilted mahogany with extremely beautiful "mottled" or "blistered" grain. The black is decorated with a Martin style 45 multicolored mosaic back inlay strip, bordered with thin strips of black fiber. Bindings are comprised of dark tortoise colored material with black/white top, side and back inlays. The entire instrument is finished with a mildly tinted "vintage" golden lacquer to enhance the beauty of the natural wood. The neck is genuine mahogany with the unique Humphrey designed elevated genuine ebony fingerboard which is uniquely "self-bound" on three sides with inset abalone pearl bordering. The headstock blends the traditional Martin square shape with Thomas Humphrey's classic slotting and taper, a genuine ebony headplate, and the old style "C. F. Martin & Co., Est. 1833" decal logo. Sting's artistic signature is delicately inlaid in pearl between the 18th and 19th frets. Standard with each model is the installation of a customized state-of-the-art Martin/Fishman Thinline GoldPlus=AE active sound reinforcement system, newly redesigned to greatly extend battery life. This onboard system enables the player professional amplification capability, making the CMHS perfect for stage performance or recording studio use. Limited to an initial edition of 250 instruments, the interior label will be personally signed by Sting, C. F. Martin IV, and Thomas Humphrey. Each guitar will be numbered in sequence with total (i.e. #1 of 250), #2 of 250,etc.). Few pop stars have taken as many risks as Sting and few have had as many hits with challenging material. Sting's albums are consistently marked by exceptional intelligence and music that crosses and combines traditional styles. Sting has championed many worthwhile causes, particularly the environment, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the CMHS will be donated to The Rainforest Foundation International. The RFI was founded to support indigenous peoples and traditional populations of the rainforest in their efforts to protect their environment and fulfill their rights. Authorized Martin Guitar dealers throughout the world will begin to take orders for the CMHS Martin/Humphrey Sting Signature Model Classical Guitar immediately, though, due to heavy demand for Martin instruments, this edition will not appear in stores until late summer of 1998.

Date: 06 Aug 1999 14:36:38 -0500 So I went looking for news on them today... found some news, out as of 6th August at http://www.bigmouth.co.uk/news/index.html ---- Sting re-surfaces with new album and a big tour ----- Ex-Police-man Sting has announced the release of his first album since 1996's five-million-selling 'Mercury Falling'. The album, 'Brand New Day', recorded in Italy, the USA and Paris, and currently being mixed in Paris, is set for release on the 27th September with a warm-up single, also entitled 'Brand New Day', released somewhere between 30th August and 13th September. The single contains a harmonica contribution from the legendary Stevie Wonder. Other collaborators on the album include Dominic Miller, Vinnie Colaiuta, Manu Katche, Branford Marsalis, James Taylor, Cheb Mami, Talvin Singh and Jason Rebello on keyboards. The album is also reported to contain a cover of the song 'Windmills of Your Mind', theme tune of the film, 'The Thomas Crown Affair', currently being re-made, and starring, James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan. Further to that Sting has also announced a 71-date World tour to promote the album which includes 18 dates in the USA, beginning 14th October, and, followed by a wee break until the new millennium, a 53-date tour of Europe, culminating in a 9-date tour of the UK which ends with three nights at London's Royal Albert Hall, in March 2000. as it says, Sting was only going to have 18 US tour dates to begin with.... There are already more, however.... does it mean that's it? No more US tour dates? Just a quick circle (not even a circle... more like a half-moon....) through the US?

I have a question for all of you who've downloaded the song in MP3 format... at the end of the song, the speaker says something about "mystery" which I don't quite understand... could anybody please tell what does he exactly say??

One of the skits was a spoof where Wayne Campbell (from Wayne's World) gets trapped in Melrose Place (Heather's once popular TV drama). Anyway, Wayne was going around making fun of all the characters and he came to this one character who sleeps with everyone on the show. He then goes something like "Yeah! I'm talking major Vagina Detoxa..!" (making fun of her sexual practices). And then he says "..and I'm not talking about the Police's unreleased 4th album.." Of course no one in the audience got the obscure reference/joke, but I thought it was hilarious. The words "vagina detoxa" is obviously a play on the wierd names of the first three Police albums. Funny stuff.. Take care, Malav - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Does anyone else see this single as Sting's homage to Motown--particularly Stevie, but also the Jackson 5, the Shirelles (wait a minute, wait a minute). It evokes a lot of small memory snatches of many great songs from the sixties and early seventies. Sting's certainly done tributes before. What do you think, everybody?

So I asked about the price. The video wasn't in their computer, so they didn't know if that was the right price or not... and it had been printed in Canada... but I don't think that should make a *big* difference.

Would his tour coincide with this event)? Weird--the new Jean Wyclef-Bono (of U2) video, "New Day", will be out on Sept. 8th . . . An unworthy source has told me Sting was contacted about this event, but hasn't responded yet. [ Originally at http://www.latimes.com:80/excite/990808/t000070391.html ] Sunday, August 8, 1999 Pop Eye Pop Charity Titans Team Up for NetAid By STEVE HOCHMAN Jimmy Thudpucker is backing NetAid, an ambitious effort involving three Oct. 9 concerts and a huge Internet drive to raise awareness and action for the United Nations' campaign to fight extreme poverty. A recent story line in Garry Trudeau's comic strip "Doonesbury" had the fictitious, over-the-hill singer-songwriter, now based in Vietnam, recording a new song for the venture. Later, word leaked out that Bono and Wyclef Jean were working on a song together for the same cause. Still, just two months away, little awareness of the plans has penetrated music business consciousness, let alone the public. "You mean it's real?" says one veteran music executive, who recalled the "Doonesbury" mention but thought it was something Trudeau had made up. Indeed, it is real. The team behind the effort includes such figures as Harry Belafonte, artist manager Ken Kragen, television and special events producer Don Mischer and radio consultant Jeff Pollack--people whose collective credits include Live Aid and Hands Across America, two of the events that defined pop charity involvement for the past 14 years. They're putting together three simultaneous concerts on a Live Aid scale--in New Jersey's Giants Stadium, London's Wembley Stadium and a smaller site in Geneva. So far they've kept a pretty tight lid on the lineups and other details, but Pop Eye has learned that Bono (possibly with other U2 members), George Michael, Bush, the Corrs, hot English rock act Stereophonics and U.K./European superstar Robbie Williams are expected to be part of the Wembley show, which will be produced by Harvey Goldsmith, who also did the Wembley Live Aid show. Wyclef Jean, Jewel and Counting Crows are likely for the U.S. event, with Celine Dion, Eurythmics, Beastie Boys and No Doubt among others that have been approached. The campaign will officially kick off Sept. 8 when the video for the Wyclef-Bono song, titled "New Day," will be premiered at the U.N. and the single will be released by Columbia Records. What makes this different from Live Aid and Hands Across America is that the primary goal is not to drive you to your phone to make a monetary contribution. That's indeed part of it, organizers have explained--but, more important, they hope to drive you to your computer to join a global network of ongoing awareness and participation in the cause. To that end, Silicon Valley company Cisco Systems is partnering with the United Nations Development Programme to create an Internet system that, they say, will be able to accommodate an unprecedented number of people tuning in to the Webcasts of performances and backstage features, with the idea that they will use the Internet to investigate the issue further. "These events are very difficult to make money out of," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor in chief of Pollstar, "but it sounds like that's not their main goal." -- Aaron Cole http://www.catalog.com/bartmon/comments/JamesSatoshi.htm "When he walked into the clubhouse, the lights flickered." - former Yankees clubhouse man Pete Sheehy on Joe DiMaggio - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

While advertisers have sometimes used hit songs in their TV spots in the past, this appears to be the first time that a new song by an established recording star is appearing in a TV spot simultaneously with its release. Moreover, the WSJ reported, a Compaq computer is featured on the cover of the CD, and the company says that its print ads will showcase "how Compaq technology affects Sting's professional and personal life." --------- A Compaq computer on the cover of the cd?

Copeland said Sting may not get played as frequently on radio stations these days because he isn't a young artist, and that the deal with the Compaq campgain will boost his profile." I stand corrected. The new single will probably do well, based on this television advertising alone. If I had one question to ask Sting, I think it would be, "At what point did you begin to feel yourself selling out? Was it during the Double Mint ad or at some later point in your career?" I'll say this much for Miles: he's not stupid when it comes to marketing.

I am going to say this loud and proud, and I don't care if anybody else here on the list thinks ill of my opnion, either. I *love* the song,"Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot" That's right. You heard me. In fact, at times, I didn't think it was long enough. I've heard too much bashing of this song. For me, it is one of the most moving Sting songs he has written. Yes, it's simple. Yes it's obvious. Who cares? That's what makes it so nice. It cuts through all the muck, and simply says,"Do what your heart tells you." So, you can think better or worse of me for it, that's ok. However, I truly love this song, and it certainly means a lot to me.

That's ok by me, though. I think we should have a little more faith in Sting. Hasn't he always done what he needed to do in order to be big? I think he realizes that he truly *needs* Compaq's help in order to be successful with this album (in the eyes of the media and the record execs.) Personally, I think that each of his albums have been successes for him... but too often the world imparts its own opinion.... and if Sting has another album that 'fails' in the eye of the media, they'll start looking on him as just another wash out in the music business.... just too old to legitimately be involved in the business anymore. I think we *all* know that's not true (IMHO), but as wonderful as that is, there's also the rest of the world and so-called 'reality' (pah!!) he has to take into account... anyway, I have faith in him. I don't think that he has sold out. So.... to all the nay sayers.... well... fine. be that way. I've heard too much excellent music and read too many words that came from his lips to have my faith swayed by what could very well be just a tactful compromise by Sting.

Doing something specifically "to be big" is the very essence of selling out. > I think he realizes that he truly *needs* Compaq's help in order to be > successful with this album In order to sell (out *snicker*) more, yes . . . But I disagree. First, Sting doesn't need money. Secondly, one million+ albums (Mercury Falling) in sales is nothing to sneer at. I guarantee this new album would have sold at least one million units without compaq's aid. * >(in the eyes of the media and the record execs.)* Why succumb to them? >and if Sting has > another album that 'fails' in the eye of the media, they'll start looking > on him as just another wash out in the music business.... Oh, the horror of it all . . . (sarcasm) Sting has said interviews he doesn't care what the media or music critics think. Perhaps, he does. > I've heard too much excellent music There is no doubt Sting has written excellent music. > and read too many words that came from > his lips He has been caught in many a contradiction. > to have my faith swayed by what could very well be just a tactful >compromise by Sting. Unlikely . . . Sting's no dummy. This is a business/selling ploy (the Compaq ad) and has nothing to do with tact, integrity, or art. This is undebatable as far as I'm concerned.

Could this partnership between Sting and Compaq been forged some time ago, or did the stars just happen to align for both parties. Think about it; Compaq needs a catchy ad campaign to compete with the likes of the Intel and Microsoft commercials, and Sting needs a large corporate sponsor for his tour, both of which happen toward the end of the year. Get it? Year 2000, "Turn the clock to ZERO". Sounds like a great computer commercial to me! Of course, this is not to say that Sting has "sold out" as it were, to the corporate giants, but , lets be honest, one needs a mega-sponsor these days for a tour. I just think it's funny how all of this seems to be coming together. Or, maybe I've just seen "Conspiracy Theory" one too many times...

(NYSE:CPQ - news) hopes will signal the new leadership of recently named Chief Executive Michael Capellas. The marketing campaign, reportedly valued at $20 million, includes a co-branded Web site that will follow musician Sting on his ``Brand New Day'' tour, with a simultaneous launch of Compaq's branding campaign featuring the single. Compaq, the world's No. 1 personal computer maker, faces falling profits and intensifying competition. It is unclear whether Capellas will find Synchronicity in his new post or if he'll be the King of Pain. He said last month the company would cut up to 8,000 jobs, or 11 percent of its workforce, in an effort to gain footing against fast-growing rival Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq:DELL - news) Compaq reported a second-quarter loss of 10 cents per share, and warned it would take a third quarter charge of $700 million to $900 million for the sweeping job cuts. While Compaq is hoping for ``A Brand New Day,'' Sting is looking to boost his visibility, and may even appear in the television commercials, a spokeswoman said.

Date: 10 Aug 1999 02:50:06 EDT I also agree! As much as I love Sting, this whole idea of Compaq being on the cover of his album seems kind of tasteless! Although I don't mind the idea of Compaq sponsoring the tour, album, website, etc., it seems that Sting may just be ever so desperate for publicity, or money, that he's sunk into the depths of corporate America as quickly as Ray Charles and Pepsi. Kind of depressing, and I hope this is just a rumor. Amy gruvyamy@aol.com - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

This Compaq deal might be another one. Yes, Sting is successful, but I believe he could have been much more. The views presented here are just my opinion and in no way meant to represent fact. SINGLES Why is it that the Police always released the best song off their albums as a first single and Sting sometimes, the worst? The Police never chose singles because they were "radio friendly". They released the best song off their albums whether or not the song had elements that were foreign to pop radio. Walking on the Moon, Roxanne, Every Little Thing, Spirits, Message all had major influences of reggae on them, very foreign to radio at the time, but the Police knew these songs were the best off the album and did the right thing, gave the public their best. In fact, many credit the Police for introducing reggae to the 1st world. In the end, most of these songs were accepted and loved by all, most made it in the top 10 and most were No. 1 on the Charts in Europe. Since Sting has embarked on his solo career, any song with a little jazz, latin, or simply a different groove is now taboo for radio. Instead he slaps together the most pop filled garbage, sometimes the worst song on the album and releases it, does this make ANY sense? I agree, some songs are not radio friendly but this is no justification for going to the extreme that Sting has. Let's look at Sting's first singles or world previews, his introductory piece or statement to the world that "this is how good my album is" of his previous albums. Remember, your first single is your MOST important. The Police always released their best songs first, Roxanne, Message, Don't Stand, Every Little, Every Breath. Sting's strength is clearly his ability to create new songs, new hybrids, according to him, a "new animal" and he's a genius at it. His best songs be it with the Police (reggae/rock) or solo (folk/jazz/rock/country, etc), these hybrids along with his superb lyrics are what makes Sting Sting! His ability to weave different types of music into a new cloth is why I am such a huge fan. But, he never releases these songs first, instead we get: DOBT Set Them Free: Pop song; I would have debut the album with Fortress, I personally never liked "Set Them Free". Overall one of his best albums, every song is a classic to me (except STF). NLTS: We'll Be Together, clearly the WORST song on this masterpiece, it does not represent NLTS in any way, shape or form, Fragile was clearly the gem to debut this album with. Instead, Sting delivers the album to Miles without WBT and Miles says, there is nothing on the album for radio, bull@#$! Sting slaps together WBT and gives it to Miles and the record company for a single, big mistake. TSC: All This Time: Not many choices here but I would have used Mad About You. TST: IIELMFIY: Good choice, but I still think Fields of Gold should have been first. MF: Let Your Soul: Wrong, wrong, wrong. Wasn't Hounds of Winter clearly one of the best songs? They then release "I Was Brought to My Senses" but ruin the song by changing the time signature. Is that sabotage or what? Best of Album: Roxanne '97 is released. Now, what the hell is that, a song? His original vocal are slowed to an extent where he almost sounds like he needs to hit the can. BND: Another song made especially for pop radio and now it seems like it's also made for Compaq. I obviously have not heard the album but I know this song will follow the tradition and is going to be one of my least favorite songs on the album. It sounds so poppy and "made for radio", it's another turn off for me. The only reason this song might chart is the Stevie Wonder contribution as pop radio seems to like these collaborations and maybe the Compaq promotion MIGHT help it (It could backfire). I guarantee that even if this song is a hit, it will NOT stand the test of time. I have a strong feeling BND, the album, is NLTS pt. 2, a silly pop song to introduce a masterpiece album (I hope). As long as Sting continues to specialize in writing special songs for pop radio, he will NEVER have a hit song as his days with the Police. When would Sting learn that his pop song formula is NOT working? His music is as good or better than his days with the Police but the good songs are not released, are donated to movies or even end up as B sides. Normally (other artistes) the single is one of the few good songs off an album with most of the album garbage, everyone says, "I ain't buying that CD for one good song", Sting is the opposite, his singles are sometimes the worst. It's no wonder a lot of people that don't have his albums say "he should rejoin the Police" because the only songs they hear are what's released for radio. The public typically looks at me as if I am crazy when I tell them Sting's a genius but then again who could blame them when the only song they heard is "We'll be Together". COMPAQ Now we have a move to promote Sting with Compaq and although it's better than being promoted by a beer manufacturer, I am not happy with it. Compaq is having big problems and they need a Brand New Start, just look at their stock price (CPQ) and you'll see what I mean. The song seems tailor made for them. If Sting really has a Compaq computer on the cover of his CD or album, it would be his biggest mistake. What happened to the days of him being pissed for "Don't Stand so Close to Me" being used in a commercial? I believe this Compaq deal could backfire and turn off the public. Many artistes have destroyed their careers by similar perceived acts of "selling out". When it's over, the only thing that might rescue his career is a Police reunion which maybe is what Miles' wanted all along for his brother Stewart. It's amazing to hear Miles tell the Wall Street Journal that Sting does not get much radio play, hmmmmm, I wonder why? Because you all constantly release nonsense Miles, it's not because "he isn't a young artist"! Flip it any way you want, this Compaq deal smells of a sell out. I know some of you will defend Miles, calling him a great marketer, the man was great with the Police, I think his management of Sting SUCKS BIG TIME! All I can think of is the song "Money by Numbers", especially the line, "being rich is like anything you take too, it's a habit forming need for more and more and more"! RAY OF LIGHT The Compaq sponsorship might help bring us lower concert ticket prices. He is also starting the tour is smaller venues. Let's face it, the man can make 10 times the money in a basketball arena which he can easily fill but instead, we get a much more intimate performance with shows at venues like the Fox Theater in Atlanta, or the Berkeley Theater in CA. I must say I have always appreciated the fact that I can see such a legend at a small venue that's more comfortable with much better acoustics than a dive like a football stadium. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The company will also sponsor the worldwide tour for the album (also called Brand New Day) and create a co-branded Web site (sting.compaq.com) providing details of the tour. The deal appears to mark the first time an established artist has released material at the same time it is used in an ad campaign. Sting=19s spokesperson said he may even appear in the commercials.=20 Compaq currently faces falling profits and intensifying competition and has recently hired a new C.E.O., Michael Capellas. The Sting campaign is intended to show that the company is moving forward with a new attitude. A spokesperson for the computer giant told the Wall Street Journal that Sting "maps directly to our brand values as a company. He's gutsy. He's confident. He has been in the market for a long time."=20 Whether Sting's intestinal fortitude will pay off remains to be seen, as Compaq announced that month that it would cut up to 8,000 jobs, or 11 percent of its workforce, in an effort to gain footing against fast-growing rival Dell Computer Corp.=20 =20 =20 -- THE DAILY DAMON: http://www.thedailydamon.clara.net - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Paul McCartney still carries his guitar into the studio for the pounds to make? The Stones still hop onto stage for the fees to fly? Joop still cuts his pants for the DMark? Bill Gates still creates bugs for the bucks? I believe that real enthuisasm and commitment is independant from money. Once you have enough, you may become more creative since you can do whatever you want. Ever noticed the change in some musicians style towards a more gutsy independant sound after some succesfull money-making album? Not only because they produce their albums themselves then. So it helps. But I think if you do not have that bite from the start, its hard to run a long distance. I happen to know a few musicians who make a living from being a musician, and NONE of them initially plays a single note just to get more money. If you had a house on every continent, a ship in the bay, a plane that takes you when you want to go to dinner in another town (John Travolta likes to take friends from Chicago to Paris...), and the the time to see any place on earth when and as long as you want - would YOU still work for reasons of money??? I do not know any wealthy person who still works for money, and they never made it to become rich. They made because they wanted to do it and they believed in their ideas. Those who make it to make money usually stop working once they made it. Anybody is best if not driven by money but by ideals. From what you never get enough though is love, respect and power.

My problem with Sting's solo music has always been the fact that he always seemed to be selling himself out short with the whole "singles" issues, and not just with his music, but his endless preaching and bitching about world issues that personally I could care less about anyway. I recently purchased the Fields of God videos, they're not bad, especially the ones from the NLTS days. However, in watching the material from the Blue Turtles days I could not help but realize that his ego was far worst then then EVER. I mean watch the Fortress video, the entire time it's just that stupid camera going closer and closer on him with this calander view of him, and U see in his eyes that he honestly believes he's Mr Sexy God and thinking "wow who needs The Police now." Not only that but (alright get ready to bash me here) when I came to the "new Bring On the Night/When the world is running down" I wanted to seriously puke, it was those ridiculous back up musician's rapping about how awesome Sting was, just boosting his ego more and more and more with this dumb corny jazz riff at the same time. And it seemed then that he was selling himself out with the MTV age, just like now, selling himself with the computer/compaqe age. I'm always made fun of by close friends of mine (who are as well avid Police fans thanks to me) that I'm a closested Sting fan. Maybe I am. The non-single's materials go back to his Police roots and those seem to be genuinely from his heart. And I personally think BND will go back to that. And for the people who are disapointed with the single, my opinion is this, his solo music I've always described as "beer music" it's simply an aquired taste, not all of his stuff I immeidiately liked (or hated) the first time I heard it, unlike the police material. (which to me still has more of an edge). Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this is just sad but smart business, but my question is, if U'll admire Sting for his "independence and going for his own" why would he do this? if he really wanted to sell himself out, wouldn't he join up and go thru hell with Stewart and Andy again, just for money and not for love like he's always described? I shall just wait and see. RedRainER3 - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

He gave up his Jazz roots in Newcastle to move to London, changed his name to something rather more memorable than 'Gordon', joined a Punk(ish) band, even bleached his hair out and starred in a TV commercial in '76 ('77?). The commercial at least is nothing new to him. These are all things calculated to obtain notice, success, stardom. In the few years since MF he's not been resting on his laurels, either; putting in guest performances on albums by the like of Andy Summers and David Sanborn. OK, it's not his own music, but he's recording, releasing material. Even when he wasn't putting out music (after NTLS - wasn't that writer's block?), he was ensuring that he was in the public eye - Amnesty tours, The Rainforest Foundation... OK, he may have made himself somewhat infamous - but that's the whole point. So when you say "sell out", is that not exactly what he has been doing for his entire career? Isn't that how he launched his career? Outlando --- "It doesn't matter how New Age you get, old age is going to kick your arse."

These days you have to have a big brother to promote you. For people like Sting, the radio stations are not a guaranteed avenue anymore. U-2 used Mart to promote their concert. Sting signs a contract with Compaq and here we are, with some of you arguing that he sold himself. Who cares who promotes the tour, as long as the material is good. You guys should understand that Compaq is huge company and they are looking for quality investments. As you know, the music industry will keep changing and it will be hard for most of the veteran act to get airplay these days. Sting cares about his music but remember this his business too. You guys tend to forget that musicians not only get involved in their music, but will invest in other things such as buying stocks, real estate, mutual funds, and having their own record companies. THIS IS SELFISH IF YOU EXPECT STING NOT TO MAKE A BUSINESS DECISION IN REGARDS TO HIS MUSIC CAREER. Sting knows that the dynamics of the music industry is changing with MP3, acquisitions, and mergers. As long as Sting makes great music, YOU SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE SPONSORS.

They are 2 extremely talented musicians who just happened to have touched millions of people's hearts. If you use a corporate sponsor to fund your music in any way, you are simply trying to reach as many ears as possible. As songwriters you want people to hear what you write or you might as well just sing and play those compositions to yourself. Collins was able recently to take a Big Band out on the road and release a CD of that very tour because of sponsorship. Sting and Collins are very rich, but would not be that way for very long if they used their own money to support all of their endeavors. bombsaway!!! - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Date: 10 Aug 1999 13:39:06 -0400 (EDT) I have to say something about this. Sting has always been a sell out. Granted, alot of has to do with Miles, but he ultimately makes the final decision. With regard to "We'll Be Together", why would you put a song that you don't like on an album? Miles said it would sell more records, and thus make more money. That's ridiculous! What happened to it being "all about the music"!! What about that collaboration with Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart? That was obviously about making money, because he knew it would be a hit. And that Puff Daddy stuff..I doubt he wanted the "hip-hop" crowd to discover Sting and the Police's music. He wanted his wallet to discover some more millions. In this day in age, some people do need corporate sponsers to put on a tour, but it is not absolutley necessary. Pearl Jam is a fabulous example. They went on independently for years touring and they keep their ticket prices low (I saw them twice for about $25 a ticket). The last two Sting shows, I shelled out like $60 a ticket. What's that about? If there ends being a picture of some god damn computer on Sting's album cover, then I'm sorry, our man is a huge sell-out. I doubt he put a picture of a computer (something which he says he does not really even care for) on the cover for artistic value...

It was out of necessity. Today is totally different. I have no problem with Sting having a corporate sponsor like Compaq. The two things I do have a problem with are (1)it seems the song was made for Compaq and when the commercials are released, this is how the public will perceive it as well. I am sure Sting will claim that the song was written before Compaq approached him, but it won't matter as people would have already formed their opinion and (2) The Compaq computer on the cover, I got BIG problems there, I really hope it's just a rumor.

It's obvious, the artist will have to take the interest of the corporation in mind in his expressions - for instance in order not to endanger an upcoming sponsored tour - so there's no total freedom of expression anymore. Even if Sting thinks computers are bad for society - and some people do really think that - he wouldn't be able to say it out loud. I imagine there will be stuff about that in a contract (yuch!). I'm not saying I'm totally against sponsorship. Sometimes it's inevitable. In a way even a record company is a sponsor: it invests money and feeds of the popularity of the act. Ask George Michael if in the end he was happy with that form of sponsor dependence. Anyway, you should be really careful about it, know for sure it will not hinder you artisticly, and you really have to know when to say no! (An important word, that). It's like having your unpleasant relatives over to stay. You think, what the hey, how bad can it be? But before you know it they treat the house as if it's their own, and you start wondering....why the hell did I ever let those people in!? And no way you can ever make those annoying idiots go. There's a saying down my way: you offer a finger, and before you know it, they've taken your hand. These things slowly grow. It's may start innocently, but can you leave the ship when it turns sour? The more Sting grows dependent - for instance by the binding force of a contract - on people who have other interests than he does, eventually they will take the upper hand, and Sting's interests will become mere sattelites of the corporation's. This has happended, folks! Many a time! Remember: corporations are bigger and richer than Sting, and (especially) they have better lawyers! Also, people have hearts, corporations don't. The people in it maybe do - and when talking to corporation you can be fooled by that fact - but in a corporation there's safety in numbers, which make it easy for those with a heart to justify hiding. A climbing-plant grabs hold of a wall, only to find out it can only grow where the wall leads it.

This term "selling out" comes up all the time. What do you mean? Surely, the very minute that an artist signs a contract with a record label s/he has "sold out"? After all, s/he now expects that label to distribute and promote her/his record in the hope that Joe Public will get to hear it and BUY it! One might not write a piece of music with a certain public in mind, but the minute you become a professional musician, you have to do something that enough of the public find entertaining, or you don't remain a professional musician for very long. Is that selling out, or is it entertainment? > > I think he realizes that he truly *needs* Compaq's help in order > > to be successful with this album > > In order to sell (out *snicker*) more, yes . . . Why are you so hung up on the sell-out angle. If a corporation offers him millions to use his music, why shouldn't he take it? Because you feel it's inhibiting his ability to be truly creative?

Call me arrogant if you wish but I have seen nothing but blunders from Sting's management. I might not be capable of managing Sting, but I will surely recommend a good management team. Simple question, do you think Sting has a US released concert video that truly represents the power of a Sting concert? I mean when the band is in top form, the music at it's best, near the end or even the middle of the tour? The Police has the Synchronicity concert and Police Around the World, two excellent videos. Paul Simon, concert in the park, Genesis, many great live videos. Sting, BOTN, and The Soul Cages and neither is in any way Sting at his best in concert. To see a good show, I look at the Amnesty HBO special or some other rare footage. I believe the Soul Cages concert and BOTN do him more harm than good. His band sounded 10 times better at the end of those tours and his vocals were also a lot better than what's presented on those videos. Now, who do YOU blame for this constant substandard releases of his work, outside of Sting himself? Gerard --- beesting <beesting@acun.com> wrote: > Maybe Malav you should go to pearl Jam's site.

I was interested in comparing people's attitudes towards albums (people like Nothing Like The Sun and The Soul Cages) and their attitudes towards songs (We'll Be Together is the most hated song of all, for instance). So I've added a section that tracks song's popularity across all the surveys, and lists them by album. Amongst the reasons why I've done this is to, for instance, find out if Fields of Gold is a good compilation or not (and according to these figures, it's not bad - ranked #3, it's mainly let down by This Cowboy Song and, damningly, We'll Be Together). Anyway, have a look at it and let me know what you think.

One thing though, on alot of the Sting's > best songs polls, I Burn For You is listed. That is a Police song, not > a Sting solo song. ALot of people think it's a Sting song, but they > are wrong. First of all, given that the site is primarily a compendium of other polls, if the other polls say it's a Sting song, it's a Sting song. More importantly: I'll grant you that, on the Brimstone and Treacle soundtrack, I Burn For You is performed by The Police. However, Brimstone & Treacle, Brimstone 2 and Narration, which use pretty much the same melodic theme, are Sting songs; and when it comes down to it, I Burn For You first appeared on a major album during Sting's solo career. For that matter, I believe it's that version that most people are thinking of when they vote for it. So, given that I have to make a choice, I choose to categorise it as a Sting song. (I'm less happy about using Demolition Man as a Sting song, but it was listed as such in some of the polls, so...) Oh, update: I added the International version of Fields of Gold to the album list today (in come Why Should I Cry For You, Moon Over Bourbon Street and Fragilidad, out go Seven Days, Nothing 'Bout Me and Demolition Man). It's now #1 in the ranks. Go figure.

First you compare Sting to Brittney Spears and the Backstreet Boys in a disparaging way, then you compare him to Shakespeare in a disparaging way. I don't think Sting could ever win in your eyes, and I believe you remain on this list to cause a stir, to hurl out ugly, negative comments about an artist you pretend to like. There are different kinds of music for different kinds of tastes and ages and so on. If someone likes The Backstreet Boys, who are you to say he/she shouldn't? If someone likes Mozart, who are you to judge that either? If you don't like the song, the sponsor, Sting's accent, or his nose, then fine. Don't buy his work. But don't try to convince the rest of us not to. I, for one, will not be converted. I suggest everyone take a step back and a deep breath. We're all supposed to be Police/Sting fans, aren't we? Let's think more about what unifies us as opposed to what divides us.

You know, this term doesn't make me think of Sting. It makes me think of someone like David Cassidy. I agree with this assessment of "selling out", but really.... Sting has gone by a synonym, since practically the beginning of his actual music career. He has sold us that, because admittedly what do we really know about him personally? Even those of us who have been admirers since the beginning. However, he has been quoted numerous times, since the beginning of The Police as saying *something or other* to the fact that he and/or the band WILL definitely become a success. He has always been ambitious, and not ashamed to be at all, and I think always will be so. It's at the core of his success. It's something that I have long since learned to get over --and even appreciate. Considering the fact of certain actors which I like, who choose not to promote themselves--since it would take away from their integrity. Therefore, I don't get much information about them, and their work is not promoted in the mainstream. I'm glad they care so much about their craft and not the popularity, but I digress. As for the sponsorship thing.... Sting has always belonged to his record label in a way. For instance, whenever he contributes music to something it is "courtesy of" the label. It's certainly nothing new or surprising. >I have the same argument against Shakespeare (there are scenes where >he writes these piddly little humourous scenes just to appease the lower >classes) . . . This is great synchronicity. Sting as compared to Shakespeare.... You really could make several comparisons between them really. BTW, W.S.' plays were written for the lower classes early on in his career. Teri ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Someone told me to check CDNow.... they don't seem to have any VideoCD's... they have VHS, true, and Synchronicity concert is about $18 Does anyone have the Police Around the World on Video? I don't have a laser disc player(or $60 to shell out for that matter) Also, how fair is $37 for Police Greatest Hits video (on VHS)? You know.... about this whole Sting/Compaq dealo: Ok. Fine, if the people that say Sting has sold out, then that's bad, right? Well, "I don't subscribe to this point of view"... not wholly, anyway. If this partnership is successful, it will most likely make Sting's material more available, and on different media. Who knows? A Police compilation of videos on DVD, or maybe a sequel to the 'All This Time' computer program. Although the prospect that Sting's music will suffer in the future, if in fact the 'sell-out' people are right, is dismal, the possibillities for future magicks is certainly there. Besides, there will always be his past material, at the very worst. "When the world is running down...." Those that think Sting is just doing what he needs to, which is what he's done for most of his life anyway, the possibility of new and better things still stands at the ready.... In the end.... I think it comes down to whether one likes the music or not. If a person can relate to it and enjoy it. Some of you may have heard of the band "Tower of Power", a VERY influential funk/jazz band. They sold out.. They had to in order to stay together and continue making music. Some of the music is obviously made to appease record companies and the like.... while other tracks have the genuine stamp of creativity on them. Face it: It's still a business. Up til now, Sting has played his cards with an Ace Face, and he's won in (and outsmarted) a vicious business. True, true, maybe his solo career has been damaged by less than perfect management tactics, but obviously Sting is still in the race as being a musician. As for this new album, only time will tell. Sting has been able to relate to people very well through his music since the start (which is one reason I believe we're all(?) fans.) So whether you were nodding your head when you heard Brand New Day and saying,"Wow! That's exactly how *I've* felt before/now" or whether the song simply did not connect with you, and whether Sting has 'sold out' now or at some point earlier in his career, the voices inside my head tell me that our man Sting will not only come through on this venture, but that the man still has a handful of tricks up those sleeves of his.

Your reaction smacks of what I call "artistic arrogance"! Just because she produces music which doesn't measure up to your high standards it is "mind-numbing nonsense"?

No, they need to sell enough in order to be able to remain doing what it is they do. On the other hand, if one wants to measure Sting's success relative to anyone else's, how do you do it? The Beatles have been the most successful artists ever, but no one could accuse them of not producing high-quality, meaningful art. It just so happens that LOTS of people like their music.

Do you think you have better taste because you listen to a "highly sophisticated musician" like Sting, while anyone who enjoys Britney Spears (to use your example) is merely pond-life? And what of people who listen to more sophisticated music than Sting's, should they look down their noses at you for liking that pop-star Sting? Music is made to be enjoyed. Some of it is simple, some complicated, some melodic, some not, some sounds like noise to one, and the best thing since sliced bread to another. Tastes differ, and musicians cater to all those different tastes. However, the fact that Person A listens to Stravinsky and Person B listens to Sting does not make Person A cooler, more sophisticated, etc., etc. It just means that they like different things, and both opinions are equally valid! > > Surely, the very minute that an artist signs a contract with a > > record label s/he has "sold out"?

No, I didn't say that all, and I don't see how you made that connection. What I said is that once a musician has entered into a contract with a record label, s/he has effectively sold out (to the record company), since they now expect the label to help shift their record!

It's very easy to have green ideas, but it's not so easy to live a green lifestyle, as many people find out (could you live without the electricity that drives your music system, no gasoline for the trucks that move Sting's band around on tour, no concerts because all those lights use enough power for a medium-sized city, etc., etc.?). > Do you want to see Sting singing in Pulp and Paper ads?

Because in art, the only thing that counts is subjective opinion. > If people enjoy it, where is the harm in > her continuing to produce it? This would turn into a long-winded discussion on my part about the didactic aspects of art, which is mainly philisophical, and contains no right or wrong answer. However, I will give you an example of where I am coming from: People on the radio, television, movies, etc., often say the phrase, "If I was . . . .", which is gramatically incorrect (has to do with the subjunctive and/or "past/first person conditional"; this phrase should be "if I were . . ."). Kids listen to this stuff and start repeating the same error over and over. In the same respect to art, an idea can be repeated over and over and over again, until it becomes a cultural cliche. To what extent the cliche is unoriginal is subjective. But I would argue Britney Spears and her ilk have become a cultural cliche (and arugably poor role models as well), and yes, this is my subjective opinion. > If you don't like it, don't buy it, but > don't elevate music you like to greater heights, as that's just plain > elitism! "Taste is the enemy of art."--U2 I would rather have taste than none at all. > No, they need to sell enough in order to be able to remain doing what > it is they do. I write poetry from time to time, won academic awards for it, offered paid publication, etc. Some has been published, but for the most part, I chose/choose not to publish it (for various reasons). I am not "commercially successful". Yet, I can continue to write poetry if I choose to do so. > On the other hand, if one wants to measure Sting's > success relative to anyone else's, how do you do it? Success is not a logical measure for qualifying art as good. > The Beatles > have been the most successful artists ever, but no one could accuse > them of not producing high-quality, meaningful art. I think some of their songs are quite good. They are also studied in a few music classes at a few universities (and so, I feel you are mistaken). > Success does not have to mean bad art! That was never implied. > Why do artists need to be altruistic? Wouldn't that be nice . . . No--you're right, there's no rule stating that artists must be altrusitic. > One can surely produce great > art, and still be popular. Yes. > Why do you think the things need to be > mutually exclusive? I don't. > Are you suggesting that people should produce art for the specific > purpose of being UNPOPULAR? No, just because I say producing art for the specific purpose of being popular is the definition of a sellout, does not follow that I then hold that artists should produce art for the sake of being unpopular either. But I will follow this up later on (some artists have specifically produced stuff so that that piece of art could be disliked). > Where would that get them? A lot of hate mail, I suppose. ;-) > Again, this just smacks of elitism. There's no other choice when it comes to taste. You either have likes or dislikes or you have no taste at all. > Do you think you have better taste > because you listen to a "highly sophisticated musician" like Sting, > while anyone who enjoys Britney Spears (to use your example) is > merely pond-life? Art is subjective. I, merely find Britney Spears to artistically pond-like. Other people hate Sting's music. > Music is made to be enjoyed. No. Art is created for many various reasons.

The vasty majority of your post comes across bascially as a flame. And much of my post wanders into areas that have nothing to do with Sting. As such, I can't be bothered responding further.

Actually, I'd like to clarify this. If one finds a work of art to be "good", it may indeed be commercially successful. But the commercial success of that artwork does not, in of itself, make the art "good". Many Sting fans don't care for "We'll Be Togther", but that song did help sell NLTS.

Give credit where credit is due;the Police > recorded the song first. Grace Jones recorded Demolition Man first; does that make Demolition Man a Grace Jones song? Especially when you talk about riffs that are that integral to the song, I think it's fair to say that the riff is Sting's, and he's copying one of his own songs in another. I don't see what The Police (as a band) have to do with that. > > and when it comes down to it, I > > Burn For You first appeared on a major album during Sting's solo > > career. > > Brimestone and Treacle is a major album,on which "I Burn For You" > first appeared. Yes,that was during Sting's solo career,but it was > during the Police's career too. Let's clarify here. Brimstone and Treacle is a soundtrack album, which, according to my copy, features "The Police, Sting, Go Go's & Squeeze". (Apparently the Finchley Children's Music Group and the Brimstone Chorale don't warrant a mention on the front cover; notice also the first placing of The Police, contrary to the recent Sting & The Police album.) It's neither an album recorded by The Police, or one by Sting, and it only rarely appears in the best album or worst albums polls for either, nor does it turn up in the shops often. Compare and contrast with Bring On The Night, both video and CD, widely released and still available fairly regularly, where the song is featured prominently. > >For that matter, I believe it's that version that most people are > >thinking of when they vote for it.

I ignore it for the purpose of things like the mailing list survey, because *they* make no difference between the original and the new version. The only exception is I Burn For You, because I'm pretty confident that people mean the live version, and the live version *only*, when they refer to it. Also because it has a high score, and it would be messing with the figures gratuitously to leave it out. That's also the reason why Demolition Man is in the chart, BTW - because it was voted for. And no, I don't know whether people voted for the version on BOTN or the Demolition Man EP, or something else again.

Date: 11 Aug 1999 18:07:58 -0400 I'd like to add my last piece about the Compaq deal. Many seem to think that this will have/has had an impact on Sting's music and his artistic integrity. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Compaq did not produce the new album did they? Compaq did not come to Sting and say: "Hey Sting, wanna make a lotta money? Here's the deal: we need an album of 'love songs' that are actually subliminal advertisements for Compaq. Maybe you could throw in an Arabian guy in there singing 'Buy Compaq, buy Compaq' in Arabic!" Compaq is sponsoring the TOUR. It has no effect on the album (though it will have an effect on the album's sales - does anyone here have a problem with Brand New Day selling more copies than MF?) I'm convinced that a Compaq computer will not be featured on the cover. Rather, there might be a promotional sticker on the CD saying "See Sting live on the Brand New Day Tour - brought to you by Compaq." This is simply advertising - it's nothing new. Releasing a single on the radio is advertising. Promotional posters in music stores, music videos, TV ads, TV appearances (Late Show, SNL...), magazine articles, etc... Compaq is advertising the tour. The tour is advertising Compaq. That's how the real world works - partnerships. Hey, that's a good theme for an album don't ya think? ;) - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

I hope this is true. Product placement is bad enough in movies, but having it move into album artwork is just sickening.

This isn't religion. I agree Rich. Folks, get over it. Its not like as if Sting murdered anyone here. Its just music and he made a deal to help get the album/tour publicity which in this day of age of Ricky Martin, Backstreet Boys, etc etc Sting needs all the help he can get. I love BND the song and most certainly will be looking forward to getting both the single and album when they are released. And, yes, I like We'll Be Together despite Sting not liking it. To those of you who are bickering about Sting being a sellout get over it. He's just human like the rest of us. Give the man a break. You treat it like as if its life or death when its not. Rich, you rule! Looking forward to seeing the extended version of Why Should I Cry For You someday on your site and hopefully someday I can find that extended version of We'll Be Together. :) Angel C.

The thing that started this whole thing was my tongue in cheek question concerning when he sold out (I was actually mildly joking, but forgot the smiley emoticon) . . . But to me, his image does matter. I wouldn't want Sting supporting some something like the KKK or NRA (which would really be hypocritical considering "I Hung My Head"). So the opinion of "I only care about his music and nothing else . . ." Well, it would be pretty disappointing if there weren't more to Sting than that. Now, concerning this from Timothy: >Yes. YOU have likes or dislikes. YOU. This is not elitism Depends on your definition of elitism (but by yours, I am not one) . . . There's intellectual elitism and all sorts of other forms of elitism (and then there's a discussion to be had if elitism is actually bad). But it's a given that any comment I make concerning my artistic preferences is my subjective opinion. And in fact, for the past year or so, I've made this pretty clear on this list. Also, this is the same monotonous discussion I've had awhile ago . . . Success (or I keep having to spell this out: the lack thereof) and the quality of art are not related. And I too, hope that the new Sting album will contain good music.

So, using the same argument, can we say that "Every Breath You Take", which clearly has the guitar line as the integral riff, is Andy's song? He came up with the guitar riff all by himself; Sting had nothing to do with it. In fact, that riff is a derivative of the one from "Painting and Dance" on Andy's and Robert Fripp's album "I Advance Masked" (as anyone who's heard the interview with Andy and Fripp from the "Bewitched" time period, where they splice the two songs together, and Andy explains how he came up with the riff, will attest). So on Every Breath, Andy's copying himself. I like it! From now on, Every Breath is an Andy Summers song! ;-) Sally P.S. Oh shoot. Andy did say he was thinking of a Bartok-type melody when coming up with Painting and Dance. So maybe Every Breath is really a Bartok song. Oh damn, I'm all confused....

This week, Houston-based Compaq Computer Corp. announced it is sponsoring the ex-Police singer's forthcoming tour, expected to hit Toronto sometime next year. The use of rock 'n' roll in advertising, once considered selling out, is now no big deal. The Spice Girls (Pepsi), Verve (Nike), Lauryn Hill (Levis), Spiritualized (Volkswagen), and Bob Dylan (mbanx) have all allied themselves with the captains of commerce. However, the Sting/Compaq deal goes further than those partnerships. Instead of delving into the singer's back catalogue, the computer maker will use Sting's new single, ``Brand New Day,'' as its theme song in a new ad campaign just as Sting releases his album of the same name. It's due out Sept. 28. The new disc will also refer to Compaq, and Sting may also appear in Compaq TV commercials, according to The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition. John Challinor, manager of Compaq Canada's corporate and public relations, said the company felt Sting was a good fit. ``His persona is compatible with Compaq's culture - how Compaq sees itself as an organization,'' he said yesterday. ``The decision maker today in business . . . is largely of the demographic that more than likely has an appreciation and had an appreciation for Sting's music.'' In a Compaq news release, Sting said he was looking forward to ``a long and fruitful association'' with the company. His manager, Miles Copeland, told the on-line Journal his client can benefit from the air time since he doesn't get played as frequently on radio stations these days. The sponsorship value is estimated at about $20 million U.S. The company has already launched a web site (http://www.Sting.Compaq.com) devoted to the Brand New Day tour, which kicks off Oct. 14 in Las Vegas. -- Aaron Cole http://www.catalog.com/bartmon/comments/JamesSatoshi.htm "When he walked into the clubhouse, the lights flickered." - former Yankees clubhouse man Pete Sheehy on Joe DiMaggio - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

I > would've noted down "(live)" next to the song if that's the song I > was refering to. Remember that this poll data is stuff I'm getting from other people. All in all, I Burn For You appears in five different polls; Auke Hulst's Xmas 98 survey (Police and Sting songs), the official mailing list survey (best Sting song) when run by Orit Schacham, and again when the official mailing list survey was run by Nina Cornwell. In all three cases, the song has been listed just as "I Burn For You", with no mention of original or live version. I've had to make a value judgement on which version that applies to, and judging by the different level of exposure of the two versions (one was in a soundtrack album that many fans won't have bought, even if it was widely distributed; the other was in a mainstream CD and in the video and film), I've reckoned people were referring to the Sting version. When it comes to doing polls from the web site (which is forthcoming), then yes, I will distinguish between original versions and live versions. But the data I have doesn't allow me to make that distinction.

And what's wrong with that? If this album is to be about love, then sex would certainly be part of that. And we all know Sting does spend some time doing it... ;-) As for a deeper meaning (well not very deep) I think Sting also wanted to mention things that belong together, like the two people in the song.

Like Malav said, if it were a bona fide Sting solo piece, it wouldn't be there... after all, "Spread A Little Happiness" and "Only You" were written at the same time by Sting (c. 1982), but they were solo contributions to the soundtrack. The three songs on the box set from the movie were collaborated by the trio. (btw Malav - nice logic. You gots dat RU education workin' fo you too) :) - Perhaps, as Sam mentions, the song itself appears on various and sundry lists of "Top 10" songs under the "Sting" section; I'm not disparaging any claims concerning this. However, do you think that the people who added that song to these lists possibly were referring to Sting's several live versions of the song that he performed during his post-Police years?? Obviously, if you've heard the version on Bring On The Night or the version that appears as a B-side to "Russians," you'll know that these solo interpretations of the song are more colorful and passionate than the B&T version, which has more of a dark and foreboding feel to it. Or it could just be that people are dumb... I know a lot of people who hear "Every Breath You Take" on the radio and refer to it as a Sting song... which, not to start another argument, but as I said before... although it was written by Sting, it is a *Police* song.

It's the same reason "On Any Other Day" appears as a Stewart song, and "Mother" appears as an Andy song, even though we all know those are Police songs. People listed them. Maybe they read the question to mean something like "What's your favorite song that Sting has written?" not "What's your favorite song that Sting recorded solo?" (OTOH other people must have understood the question the second way, as they listed covers such as "Purple Haze"). Whatever the reason, if enough people gave the same answer to the question, it got statistically significant and on the poll results. That's all there is to it.

I hate to burst your bubble, but most people look to art: music, opera, theatre, painting, sculpture, literature, etc. as something to enjoy. Some art speaks to us on more emotional levels, but the reason we invest in it is because we like it! The world of perfromance art, where one seeks to shock, is nearly always quickly adopted into the mainstream, where it just becomes part of the same old same old! (If one specifically sets out to create art that is hated, how does one make a living from it? Since you need to be popular to survive, one needs to find an audience for hated art, and if people buy it, they buy it because they like it, not loathe it.

In that case, I wouldn't even bother reading it, because the info might not be accurate...oh well.. Malav ------------------------------------------------------------- Sting To Kick Off Brand New Day With U.S. Tour Former Police frontman's 24-date trek follows next month's release of seventh solo album. Staff Writer Teri vanHorn reports Tues., August 10, 7:55 PM EDT Sting will tour the U.S. this fall in support of Brand New Day, which the former Police frontman calls an optimistic album of love songs. The 24-date outing begins Oct. 14. Sting, who turns 38 next month, will perform multiple nights in some cities as he moves eastward from the West Coast. Brand New Day, due Sept. 28, features the single "Desert Rose," which is debuting on radio stations this week. It's the seventh studio album Sting has recorded since the Police disbanded in the mid-1980s. "I didn't set out to write lyrics just about love, yet almost all the songs have the theme of broken lives that can be mended by love," the singer (born Gordon Sumner) said in a statement. "My challenge was to write a happy love song without being banal or smug. ... It's basically the thought that falling in love is an act of optimism and I think if the album has a tone ... it's an optimistic one." Sting was originally going to title the album The Lovers. The tour kicks off with three shows at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, and hits several California cities before heading east. "Even on a bad night he's still mind-blowingly great," Sting fan Nancy Franklin, 25, of Buffalo, N.Y., wrote in an e-mail. "Some of us are going to have to do some road-tripping and couch-crashing to see him because he's not really playing very many cities. But he's worth it." In addition to "Desert Rose," the nine-song Brand New Day also features "A Thousand Years," "After the Rain," "Big Lie, Small World" and "Fill Her Up." Sting's most recent album, Mercury Falling (1996), continued in the jazz-pop vein of its predecessors, but was a commercial disappointment. In 1997 Sting collaborated with rapper Puff Daddy on "Roxanne '97," a remake of the 1979 Police hit "Roxanne."

At our library in town, the CD has a much different cover than the one that is seen at shops around the area.... The cover says simply 'The Soul Cages', and on it are a few lines. That's it. If memory serves as it should, the CD itself has a couple of small dash marks on the outer edge, at 12 o'clock, 1:30, 3 o'clock, 4:30, 6 o'clock, etc... (basically 8 dash marks evenly spaced around the outer edge) Any thoughts about what the heck is up with this different album cover? Is it an import? Did the library get lucky and somehow get a rare copy of The Soul Cages.... ??? Many thanks!

First, I agree that it sounds much like Low Life. The tempi are similar, and so is the jazz-shuffle triplet feel in Sting's bass playing. Low Life is in A, and this is in B. Also, the line "You could be walking down the street" in BND sounds very similar to "You walk down the street, and your head spins around" in some versions of Low Life. Both have that upward surge in melody. Secondly, I find Sting's chord choices fascinating. Yet again, he blends a more simplistic pop sound with unconventional chords (that some have already commented about). The song seems to be based around a Bsus2 chord, as there's really no strong emphasis on the 3rd (D#). I find that Sting likes the ambient, ambiguous quality that sus chords offer...I'm thinking of Lazarus, Fields of Gold, or about any other song. The chord progression for the first verse seems to be Bsus2, Emin7, Amaj?, Bsus2. It is the Emin7 that people are hearing as the quirky chord. For all the non musicians out there, the reason this sounds so cool is that it should be an E major chord, not E minor; this is called modal mixture (because he's borrowing from the minor mode). The way Sting uses the music to suit the lyrics proves once again why he is such a master, perhaps genius, at his craft. For example, at the beginning we get the line "How many of you people out there" over a nice, neutral B major chord. No big deal. But in the next line he sings "Been hurt in some kind of love affair?", and the music responds by going to a lush, dark minor chord, emphasizing the feelings that "hurt" evokes. This pessimistic view continues for the first verse, until the mini-bridge to the chorus. Check this out - with the lines "One day you could be looking...see her smiling at you..." we get the first feeling of optimism, and the bass line responds by playing an "uplifting" line...one we haven't heard yet. Lastly, listen closely to the section from "It could happen to you...[until]...more reflection is there." Listen to the "shimmering" sound of the guitar in the background. To me, it sounds much like the guitar sound in the climax of Wild, Wild Sea. Same density of sound, but still retaining a background role. As far as the Y2K thing, there is a point to be made, since "Turning the clock to zero" would apply to computers more easily, since there is no zero on a traditional clock. What I think is that turning the clock to zero means going back to that time when the subjects' relationship was young, new, and perhaps more exciting. It is these and many other qualities that we wish to keep alive as we grow older. All Sting wants to do is return to this time. I hope all of you are doing well...I love this list!!

As a music theory major/musician, I have a few comments that perhaps other musicians would be into. First, I do agree that it does sound alot like "Low Life." The tempi and jazz-shuffle feel are almost identical. The form is kind of quirky, with a traditional 16 bar verse, then 8 bar transition to the chorus, chorus, short verse (w/10 bar phrase!), chorus, then coda. The keys are also similar, Low Life being in A and this being in B. Also, we have a little deja-vu in the part where he sings "You could be walking down the street" - his upward surge and notes that he sings are EXACTLY like in some versions of Low Life when he sings "You walk down the street and your head spins around." Second, the chord choices that people have already mentioned are interesting. The song seems to be based around a Bsus2; there really isn't a strong sense of the major 3rd (D#). Sting loves the ambiguous, ambient sound that sus chords offer; I'm thinking of Fields of Gold, All This Time, Lazarus Heart, or about any other song. As far as chords, what people are hearing in BND is the second chord - a minor iv chord (e minor) as far as I can tell. For the nonmusicians out there, this is called modal mixture, because since the song is in B major, it should be an E MAJOR chord, but it's instead an e minor. The only problem I have about this is that a C# still sounds good over it, which isn't in the chord! Then the next chord seems to be either a minor v chord or a subtonic VII chord - I'm not sure. Musically, I have a few comments at what Sting does that separates him from most other present-day pop songwriters, and makes him a genius. Notice at the beginning: he's singing "How many of you people out there" over a nice, major chord. OK, no big deal. It's a neutral phrase. But then when he sings, "Been hurt in some kind of love affair" we get the colorful, rich minor chord, making the music respond to the feeling that "hurt" evokes. That mood lasts for the first verse, then we get the mini-bridge into the chorus. This next part is brilliant too. The lyrics now offer the first optimistic hope ("you could be looking through an old book...see her smiling at you..."), and Sting responds by having an "uplifting" bass line that we haven't heard yet. Last two things. Near the end, he turns the point of view around by saying "It could happen to you, just like it happened to me." Does anyone see the similarity between Wrapped Around Your Finger where by the end it turns into "You'll be wrapped around MY finger?" And about the Y2K thing. It could be argued that turning the clock to zero is a reference to Y2K, since there is no zero on a normal clock, but there is on computers. What I think Sting might be saying is actually more turning back the years to when the subjects were first together...when their love was perhaps new, exciting and simpler. If any of you other musicians out there have any opinions, let's hear 'em! I personally love the song - "poppy" enough for radio but musical enough so I hear new things every time. Take care everyone...this list is great! James - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Well, popular rumour has it one of the known side-effects is an unstoppable urge to post multiple versions of the lyrics, but that could be an outrageous slander. FWIW, I haven't heard BND yet (*and* I live in the UK, so it's apparently not difficult - I don't listen to the radio, though, so I wouldn't know where to look). I'm pretty happy about that. Face it, I'm going to buy the single when it comes out, and I'll have to wait a further month or so for the album to come out; it's probably worth pacing myself. Also, when If I Ever Lose My Faith In You came out as a single, it took me quite a while to appreciate it as anything other than the first single, which was a pity. Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot was, of course, rubbish, so it didn't matter too much there. But I'd prefer to savour Brand New Day when it comes out, not have some random DJ gibber all over it.

Well.... I for one must say that they are the reason (due to Stingchronicity) I got into this list, and into the Police and Sting so heavily. So, I hate to see them go (even if they didn't always post... I know that a lot of people don't very often... so that's cool). Well, if you two get this, thanks!

I, for one, can't bring myself to do it (I've got *so* much I want to ask!! <G>) So... if this list used to be so different... well.... how were they, exactly?

This is the "Off the Record" radio show which will be broadcast throughout the US this weekend. Check with your local radio stations to find out when it will be broadcast in your local area. This is the second part of an interview by Joe Benson (the original aired on February 21, 1999 and didn't contain too much new information). (http://www.unclejoe.com) Anyone living in the Milwaukee area can catch the show on 96.5 WKLH at 11PM on Sunday night. I'm not positive, but I think 101.5 WIBA FM in Madison, WI probably broadcasts the show, for the mailing list members there. - Marisa --------- Sting etc: http://www.stingetc.com - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

It's great (as to be expected.) My computer at my desk (yes, I'm at work as I do all of this) doesn't have sound capability, so I had to use a computer in our Technology Center. I had such a huge smile on my face as I listened that if any of the *Powers That Be* had come in, they would have known right away I wasn't doing anything having to do with work. My opinion (and mine only, please, let's not get into a big discussion) is that Sting's gotten some of his *energy* back. I love MF but some of the songs (Soul/Pilot) didn't have any energy or life. Hopefully, this one will leave folks dancing in their driver's seats. On a sadder note - for California and Nevada folks - the concert situation at the Hard Rock is confusing at best. Please don't take my word as gospel on any of this, I've gotten the run around so many times today that I'm not even sure what I've heard. But...it doesn't appear like there's going to be an Oct. 16 show. TicketMaster on has the 14th and 15th for sale Saturday (by the way, 50 BILLION Backstreet Boys fans will be clogging up the phone lines all morning - we'll be lucky if we can get through all day!). A nice woman at the Hard Rock told me there *definitely* will not be a 16th show. I keep hoping that it's a mistake and they'll go on sale sometime later. Hopefully not after I've bought a ticket for the 15th. My credit cards can't handle TWO $277 tickets. If anyone has any better information, please post it.

In lieu of media reviews, I'd like to include some of the opinions expressed here. I saved some key posts. Please review the remarks, especially if the comments were yours. I'd like permission to print your remarks. Could you please get back to me with your age and where you live? I'm looking for more opinions, but please understand. I can't guarantee they will be included in the article. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =93This song, lyrically, is about as subtle as a sledgehammer.

These lyrics appeal to everyone and you don't need a dictionary to translate them! What is wrong with that? I give the song 90 of a possible 100. =94 --Terrence Sheehan =93I've been listening to it for days, all day long, on continuous play, and I have yet to tire of it. This will be one of the highlights of the concert and a great sing-along. Anyone standing during that part of the concert is either a putz or in a wheelchair! BND doesn't offer anything new as far as lyrics or music, but it's still great music. In case you haven't noticed it--or in case you're trying to deny it--Sting is making blatant sexual references. I love this; here we are expecting sappy Fields of Gold lyrics, and he goes, "I'm gonna plow your land, pull into your station, plant my flag on your nation. Maybe he was in an Austin Powers mood when he wrote this! Yeah Baby!=94 --Fred Berthelot =93It certainly could merit the attention of a few people. Touted originally as a 'breezy pop song' I think that the opening harmonica by Stevie Wonder definitely confirms that. I think they may have been able to do better by having Vinnie cover each stanza. I felt that this tune could have benefited by a small drum solo by Vinnie. The opening lyrics aren't deep, true, but I think that using bluntness like that is very effective. It's easy to relate, easy to connect and understand the scene he's painting in the first place. Have you ever been looking for your glasses, spend fifteen minutes and realize that they're on your face? Or look for something all over the house, and realize it's been on the kitchen table the whole time, right in front of you? If it's right in front of us, perhaps we just don't want to see it or, we just miss it, despite it's imminent presence.=94 --David Koslowski =93I do like the song. I find that the lyrics are not so bad. You know, when he sings that you see a picture of the girl with whom you used to live with hidden in a book. your love story has ended and you fall on this so cute picture that just put you down on your knees... I say that Sting has the genius of finding the simple words to say such deep things. In my opinion, this is not at all a weak song.=94 --Martin Vauche= l =93My impression of the track is sort of a Steely Dan =91What a Beautifu= l World This Would Be=92 meets 70's Motown. Great bassline, awesome chord progression, very soulful sound, and how awesome is Stevie?=94 --Joe Coleman =93It only took me a couple of listens and I was hooked. After hearing what Sting did musically with this song, it is obvious to me that this is a song he just wants to have some fun with (and maybe get a mainstream hit on the radio at the same time). A great song, in my 1opinion, for driving down the road and feeling positive about life.=94 --Rob Johnson - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

I haven't posted to the list in a while...because of band camp.(I am SO tired,btw.)But I've been reading all this stuff about compaq and the album and everything..I saw a post that said "i don't care if it has a green elephant on the cover I'm still going to buy it." I thought that was funny. :-) Anyhow..the neat thing about band camp was that I found out that both my percussion instructors are Sting fans...so,we had a nice chat about our fave songs :-) Today was the first day of high school for me and I wore my Sting t-shirt and all of my friends were like,"Cool!Cool! Where did you get that shirt?Sting's cool!" And I was happy. At least some other people my age like Sting...it's just so hard to find other Sting/Police fans who are 14 or 15...

Date: 14 Aug 1999 14:51:47 -0400 Enjoyed listening to the program. It was one hour total,some interesting stuff talked about. They did leave a lot out-no mention whatsoever of Fallout or any of the events in 1982 or 1986-but I guess there's only so much you can squeeze into about 40 minutes(not counting commercial breaks and Police songs without interview),and what they covered was nicely done. Only a brief mention of Curved Air,and it was made by the announcer,not Stewart. But that was pretty fair-aside from retelling Stewart seeing Sting with Last Exit that fated day,there was not one word about any other group or artist related to the Police. Henri was mentioned without using his name-the announcer refered to him as being,"long on character but short on talent"(we all know the latter,but few of us seem willing to admit the former). One interesting note-Stewart says that he did not even notice Sting's vocal talent when he first saw him play with Last Exit;he only saw him as a bassist. So for those of you who think that his performing skill lies only in his singing, think again. sincerely, obsessed Police fan - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

I have copied it directly from the site listed. http://www.dvdresource.com/ Another DTS CD... finally Coming to compact disc this Tuesday is the DTS CD version of Ten Summoner's Tales by Sting. This 1993 album joins a small list of popular recordings that have been remixed to take advantage of DTS 5.1 Channel Digital Surround. I like DTS CD's, but I have very few of them. My favorites are Hell Freezes Over by The Eagles, Gaucho by Steely Dan, and the stunning On Air by Alan Parsons, which he mixed specifically for 5.1 channels of sound. Ten Summoner's Tales is not gimmicky as On Air with respect to surround effects. The front channels are still the primary channels. The rear channels get the occasional backing instrument and backing vocal, but the sound level is so far down in the mix that it is sometimes hard to discern. The disc features several very good songs, including "If Ever I Lose My Faith In You," "It's Probably Me," "Fields of Gold" and the moody "Shape of my Heart" (which was the end-title song used in Leon/The Professional). One interesting note: this is the original U.S. version of the recording, lacking the song "Everybody Laughed but You." The track listing on the back cover is from the European release, which included this song. If you want a DTS CD that screams "LOOK AT ME, MA, I AM IN SURROUND SOUND!" then Ten Summoner's Tales is not for you. But if you like Sting, or want to hear some quality music on your DTS-capable surround sound system, Ten Summoner's Tales is an easy recommendation. (Techie note: unlike DTS DVD's, DTS compact discs should play on any DVD player, all the way back to the first generation, or on almost any CD player with an optical or coaxial digital output. You still need a DTS decoder, or a receiver with DTS circuitry, for playback.) - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Happy Monday one and all! Well, I've been thinking: The place where I go to college allows *anyone* to have a radio show at the station there (of course, there's a limit on the # of people). The broadcasts are streamed over the internet, too. Last year I joined a friend on the radio a few times, and I enjoyed it immensely. In view of this, I may attempt to put a a 'Police and Sting / related artists' Radio show on the air (related being things like influences, earlier bands, current bands, etc ie Animal Logic [which I got some music from !!!! I found it at a used CD store for $0.99! It's 'Someday we'll understand, plus 4 live tracks] Strontium 90, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding... that sort of idea) So, anyway, I thought that I ought to mention this, in case anyone wanted to hear a weekly/ biweekly show of Police/Sting/etc. music, or had any suggestions about it (perhaps um... contributions? hehe...<g> ). Perhaps, suggestions about influential bands and such.. even rivals, such as Men at Work... things like that.

The computer manufacturer will launch a Web site at sting.compaq.com, plus the logo for the tour will incorporate the site's URL. While there is currently a Sting Web page at www.compaq.com, the official tour site will launch this fall to coincide with the tour's kickoff October 14th at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. The site will be everything Sting, including chat sessions, a multimedia scrapbook, and webcasts. The site will also serve as a store for his merchandise. As part of the deal, Compaq plans to create a number of branding, advertising and promotional tie-ins with the tour. The computer company is also developing hardware and software for sequencing, digital sampling, stage lighting design and programming, plus business and production management.

However, it bears mentioning that while these notes were well researched I do not believe they were written by a member of the Police so such a statement may be speculation. But it stands to reason that it is factually accurate...I mean, listen to "Who Can It Be Now?"...sounds just like a Police rip-off.

Well...I can't say that I EVER thought that during the hey-day of Men at Work, while I listened to WCIBN. I loved that song, and still do really--great sax! However, I do think that the song has that sound-- which a few other songs of that day had, by other groups. It just represents, what I've always believed, that The Police pioneered and defined a musical era, actually more than one. I'm happy to have lived during and experienced that period. :) Teri ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

And why do some already-announced shows no longer appear on the Compaq web site? He's coming to Seattle/Portland/Vancouver in December! Bill Here's my Vegas buying experience: Tickets went on sale Sat at noon for Hard Rock in Vegas. I used my best friend's dad's American Express gold card so that I could use the special Gold Card number and hopefully get better seats. I got through to AmEx pretty soon after noon but was on hold til about 12:10. I was only buying one ticket, so those are easier to come by than a group of several seats. At 12:10 I was able to get a Thurs. Oct. 14 seat in the 5th row, seat #17 (which is close to the center) for $200 (plus about $15 in crappy TicketMaster charges). I was happy with that, though of course I had hoped for third row or better. Then I asked for the Oct. 15th show. This was about 5 minutes later (12:15) the best available was 10th row way over on the side for $298 plus charges. I hate to say it, but it just wasn't a good enough seat for that kind of money. Plus, I have a big work conflict on that day that would have been really hard to justify missing for 10th row. (especially because I'm flying in from California). On Friday the 13th, a woman at the Hard Rock customer service line told me that there wouldn't be an Oct 16th show (I posted this info, FYI). I don't know why the 2 other Universal dates have disappeared, though I'm a little irritated, I was planning on buying those, too. I'm hoping to hear from some folks who went the regular TicketMaster route on Saturday (amidst all the BackStreet Boys hoopla) to see how long it took you to get through and what kind of seats you got for Vegas. I'd like to know if the American Express route is worth committing credit card fraud for... Also, if anyone hears anything about the Santa Barbara, CA, show, please post. Thanks.

A few news about Sting summer tales: Sting was at the Palio in Siena yesterday (August 16th 1999), a sort of horse race held in the city of Siena in Tuscany; it's an historical event, where the 'contrade' (I don't know if there is a traslation of this word, that means I guess 'quarters' owned by powerful families of the past) runs to get the Palio (award); the Palio was broadcasted live on tv, but I saw no Sting or Trudie. Sting also played with James Taylor in Lucca, at the end of July, on stage for one of the last song of the show.

I will see the one in Hamburg for less than 40 EURO (heee), even in the first rows... Since I like to see him once per country, I will also try to see him in the Netherlands and Belgium... Has anyone on this list ever seen him in South America and Asia? Wonder if those shows are any different? Last tour, the shows in Hamburg and Prag were 100% identical: songs, sequence, edits, stage setup, lighting, encores, even the clothing, huuu... Paul Carrack, who was his warm-up for the MF tour here in Europe (also in the US?), was here in the summer with Mike and the Mechanics. SAME CLOTHES! Probably he has only that one hat!?! FYI: The stage manager told me after the show, that Sting and his guys always fly back to London while touring in Europe. Doesn't really save money but sure is nice to be home every evening! Anybody knows if he will fly always to either his LA or NY home while touring in the US?

(This is right next to the Boston Commons for those of you who are familiar with Boston) When do tickets go on sale? I don't know. The venue's web site is http://www.dlclive.com, a recorded message can be heard at (617) 679-0810, as of 9:35PM 8/19/99 it does not mention any Sting appearances yet. The venue seems to use Next ticketing, but Sting is using http://www.tickets.com according to the compaq web site. Anyone know for sure who will be selling the tickets for this show? According to the recording they announce on-sale dates in the Sunday Boston Globe. On the offical Sting website a day or two ago, there WAS a Providence date listed but with no venue. That no longer appears, so I doubt if there will be a show in Providence. If there was, it would most likely be at the Providence Performing Arts Center. That seems to be about the size of venue he's playing in. I hope there will be a Providence show, because that will be most convenient for me :) On November 24th, he'll be at the Oakdale SNET theatre in New Haven, CT. (http://www.oakdale.com) There is no date listed for ticket sales, but you can call the Oakdale Box Office at (203) 265-1501. I haven't called, as I'll probably just stick to the Boston shows. New Haven is a bit to much of a drive for the middle of the week when i have work and classes to go to :) Anyone planning to go to the shows, feel free to send me a note, I'd love to meet some local fans before the show. Anyone with any info on ticket sales, or anything for these shows... please let me know! :) Later, Rich - an obsessed fan outside Providence. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

They found some pretty rare Sting boots for me that were long 'out of print.' Here in New Mexico, Imports, rareties and especially bootlegs are _very_ hard to come by, so I have to rely on places like Tunnel (and kind souls from this group) to get ahold of this stuff! Again, I should stress that, although I have found them to be dependable in providing the items, you can sometimes wait for months<!> to actually receive the goods if they are not in their current stock.

I just wanted to mention that I have read first hand encounters of people being ripped off by Tunnel Records (waiting forever for an item to be in stock--allthewhile having paid money up front). One person wrote on either Wire (or more likely, another U2 list I'm on) that he/she had been waiting for over 6 months (and others have waited for close to a year) for a non-instock item to be shipped. Anyway, I would proceed with caution as far as Tunnel Records is concerned (some people have had good experiences, but several people, at least, have not). Some Police boots are kind of "oldish" and occasionally difficult to find (so, I would be careful to make sure that Tunnel actually has the items it claims to have).

Date: 19 Aug 1999 20:05:36 -0400 I need help from Joe Coleman, Fred Berthelot, David Koslowski, Terrence Sheehan, and Rob Johnson. I'd like to use your comments in my next article at Suite 101, but I need to get your info, as detailed below. If I don't hear from you, I will not directly quote you. I will paraphrase instead. Also, is there anyone here from the UK who would like to have their opinion of "Brand New Day" included? You *must* have listened to the song *at least* once. Thanks a mil, Melanie =93My impression of the track is sort of a Steely Dan =91What a Beautifu= l World This Would Be=92 meets 70's Motown. Great bassline, awesome chord progression, very soulful sound, and how awesome is Stevie?=94 --Joe Coleman, <<I NEED YOUR age, location>> =93This will be one of the highlights of the concert and a great sing-along. Anyone not standing during that part of the concert is either a putz or in a wheelchair!=94 --Fred Berthelot, 22, <<I NEED YOUR location>> =93The lyrics aren't deep, true, but I think that using bluntness like that is very effective. It's easy to relate to, easy to connect and understand the scene he's painting. Have you ever been looking for your glasses, spend fifteen minutes and then realize that they're on your face? Or look for something all over the house, and realize it's been on the kitchen table the whole time, right in front of you? It certainly could merit the attention of a few people.=94 --David Koslowski, <<I NEED YOUR age, location>> =93Every positive message doesn=92t need to be wrapped in eloquence to be understood and loved. These lyrics appeal to everyone and you don't need a dictionary to translate them! What is wrong with that?=94 --Terrence Sheehan, <<I NEED YOUR age, location>> =20 =93It is obvious to me that this is a song [Sting] just wants to have som= e fun with (and maybe get a mainstream hit on the radio at the same time). A great song, in my opinion, for driving down the road and feeling positive about life.=94 --Rob Johnson, <<I NEED YOUR age, location>> - To unsubscribe to police, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe police" in the body of the message.

Date: 24 Aug 1999 23:39:08 +0100 Sorry for using the list for this, but I've got a reaction on those quotes Melissa was going to use for her article. I know I should mail her direct, by I can't seem to find her address. In one of the quote's there's a huge mistake. It's the quote - whose I don't remember - about BND being a mixture of 70s motown, and Steely Dan's What A Beautiful World This Would Be. Well, that song isn't called What A Beautiful World This Would Be, but goes by the odd name of I.G.Y (International Geophysical Year). And it's not a Steely Dan song, but a solo-track by one of the two Dan-men, Donald Fagen. (From his first solo-album The Nightfly (1982) A great album, btw!) I thought if you were going to use quote's in an article, they better be correct. Knowing from shameful experience these types of mistakes tend to look pretty silly.

Sam -------------------------- I took Sam's advice and went to the archives. It was amazing what I found. I went back in history to the first days of the list and realized that we haven't really evolved much. We still discuss the same topics they discussed years ago. Not that it's a bad thing but I guess the next generation still has the same questions. ~meg Taken from the archives: I'm glad that the mailing list started up! Finally I can find out (hopefully) some things about the members of my favorite band. OK, we all know what Sting's been up to over the last few years (saving the amazonian rain forest, and writing and recording THE SOUL CAGES), but what have the other members been up to? I know that Andy has been composing soundtracks (or so I've heard), and that Stewart was in a great little band with Stanley Clarke (Animal Logic), but what are they doing now? Does anyone have any thoughts on a Police reunion? What are your feelings about the solo outings from Sting and Stewart and Andy? (esp. the Animal Logic album -- this had to be one of my favorite albums from last year). Speak up! Now is your chance!

Nonetheless, I also understand Sam's thinking, for he apparantly - as his own Sting by the Numbers page show - has a love for statistics. (As do I) But not everyone shares this interest, and my guess is most people just like to use James' page to get an idea who they're talking to. For that James' page is very suitable, I think. Projecting your own demands with regards to the given information, and deriving statements like 'dumb' from those demands, is a centrists way of looking at the world. One should be wiser, Sam! My only problem with James' page is that I myself seem to have sent in a picture where it looks as if somebody has just jammed a firecracker up my @$$!

The interesting thing is that the first SNL of this fall season will be on the 25th of September (the day after Sting is on the Today show) and will also be the 25th anniversary show. This show will be two hours long (live) and feature some of the famous alumni of the show and also the favorite hosts/musical guests. Maybe Sting will show up?

Try to keep it close to his normal 2 hr. set (30 songs max.) and leave 8-10 slots for the new album. Here's my wish list. I have not heard the album yet so I'll just put "New Song" for those slots. 1) Brand New Day 2) New Song (upbeat) 3) New Song (upbeat) 4) Love is the 7th Wave 5) Shape of My Heart 6) Children's Crusade 7) Hung My Head 8) New Song (mid tempo) 9) New Song (Mid tempo) 10) Spirits in a Material World 11) De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da 12) Every Little Thing 13) Mad About You 14) New Song 15) Moon Over Bourbon Street 16) New Song 17) Fields of Gold 18) Hounds of Winter 19) It's Probably Me 20) Wrapped Around Your Finger 21) Every Breath You Take 22) Englishman in NY (Walk off stage with the audience singing "Be yourself, no matter what they say") Encore 23) All This Time 24) New Song 25) The Mighty (possibly mixed into another song) 26) New Song (upbeat) 27) Message in a Bottle (Solo) Encore 28) Fragile Yup, I left Roxanne and Bring on the Night home! I realize my set list is probably a 2.5 hr. show, who says he can't do a NLTS type tour again. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Date: 31 Aug 1999 05:16:03 -0700 (PDT) And when I say Police, I mean Law Enforcement Officers, not Stewart and Andy! You can read about it here: http://www.sonicnet.com/news/article1.jhtml?index=0&_DARGS=%2Fnews%2Fscans_nav.jhtml.2&_DAV=0 I suspect that url will get butchered though, so here's a relevant portion of the article: -- The nation's largest police group has added David Byrne, Sting, Michael Stipe and Chumbawamba to its boycott list, based on those artists' support of convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. ... Richardson said Monday it was unclear whether the Beastie Boys would remain on the boycott list, which was largely culled from signatures on two letters in support of Abu-Jamal published in the New York Times in August 1995 and October 1998. Both ads called for a new trial for Abu-Jamal on the grounds that his original trial was unfair. R.E.M. singer Stipe, ex-Talking Heads leader Byrne and former Police frontman Sting (born Gordon Sumner) all signed the 1995 letter, while anarchist pop-collective Chumbawamba and Rage Against the Machine signed the 1998 letter, accordig to the FOP. Folk legend Pete Seeger, singer Bobby McFerrin, veteran singer/actor Harry Belafonte and Peter Yarrow, one-third of the '60s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, who signed at least one of the letters, are also on a boycott list provided by Richardson, as is Sting's wife, Trudie Styler. -- There's some other interesting stuff in the article, so if that URL did get butchered, I'd recommend going to sonicnet and looking for the page.
