"Schmoozing" in Hollywoood? That may be redundant. In any event, it goes against everything the guy has been about. It's a bit sad to go back and watch Bring on the Night, and hear Darrly Jones talking about never hearing a "nothing" song from Sting, and Branford speaking his disdain for the Hollywood crowd. I prefer the good old days, but maybe that's because I'm an old guy. Cheers, Stephen S.

Shops in Germany
by Juan Manuel Santiago 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

Hi everybody: I'm travelling to Munchen in Germany next month and I'd like to know records shops where I can find rare CDs. I'll also probably go to Salzburg in Austria, so I'd like to know shops there too. Thanks in advance. Juanma.

The Police - DVDs
by DtmrCls＠aol.com 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hi, as I just received my Gateshead-live-DVD I thought about the other TV appearances on TV that would make great DVDs. But my question to German publishers only got negative results. At least the German TV concerts ( 2x Rockpalast, 1x Musikladen) are not likely to appear on DVD for the next time. Perhaps some people from around the world can start asking questions, too. There are many great clips I'd like to buy (Paris 79, Amnesty 86, Budokan 80 etc.). Any information is welcome. The only other thing I found out was that a SPIRITS videoclip appears on a DVD called " I want my DVD" and the "Can't Stand Losing You" live version from the Old Grey Whistle Test is on the 2-DVD-Set from England. Oh, yes and the Sting & Police Greatest Hits from Japan. We still have to wait what Japan brings us next... Dietmar

Hello Teri, i wouldn't really say it is cynicism over why he won, but Jer is right. As a matter of fact, I have never heard Until so far, although I know all the other songs that were in competition. It always sounds strange to hear almost unplayed songs winning competitions like this. For me it looks like Kate & Leopold needed an extra promotional push and what is better than having a globe to promote it? I do not say that the song is bad -I cannot YET judge on that- , but this commercialising of movies, series, etc ... I do have my doubts ... Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the moment that that CD will arrive at my "humble beach house" in Greece ,-))) Tora tora, Karel ----- Αρχικό Μήνυμα ----- Από: Teri Kronberg <burgaus(a)juno.com> Ημερομηνία: Τρίτη, Ιανουάριος 22, 2002 - 4:37 μμ Θέμα: Re:[Police] Sting wins Golden Globe > -- "Hilary Justh" <hlj104(a)psu.edu> writes: > Mon, 21 Jan 2002 21:38:15 > >In today's edition of USA Today, Sting states > >that he is going to give the Golden Globe > >for "Until" to Mickey since she was the first > >person to listen to the song.

What's with the Golden Globe joke..
by Jeremy . 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Maybe it is just me, but Stings winning of the Golden Globe for Until seems like a fix to me. I am sorry, I have been a fan for a long long long long time as most of you know, and he keeps winning awards for songs that even most of the hard core fans don't know, which means that the majority of the world doesn't have a clue at all. It is a known thing in the UK music industry.. (home of the one-hit-wonder-per-week) that they just make you number one, and then sell a ton of cd's on the back of it being number one. Elton John has said that his recent album will be his last works due to the pathetic nature of the industry and its constant 13 year old target market abuse. Is this award given under the same circumstances ?, I remember when he won for the Disney thing, I thought to myself, while this is an OK song at best, it isnt worthy of being the best song in a movie for the year, it has now happened with a few other things, and I can't help but feel that it is a little odd.
