Police in Dublin
by Maggie White 15 Jun '02

15 Jun '02

We went to a pub in the Temple Bar area of Dublin last night to listen to traditional Irish music. The two guys playing played a mixture of Irish music, some of their own songs and some folk songs on fiddle and guitar. At one point, they begin to sing a song and I'm thinking, "Hey, I know this." It was So Lonely. It was very cool to hear them do it. I saw several people singing along. They did it like the "live" version with "low, low, lows" and the fiddle player did the guitar solo. It was fun. Other than that, no Police-related news in Ireland. I saw some De Do 45s in a record store, and tons of U2 boots, but that's it. I'll be back to the real world in a week. :( Maggie

Chris Botti
by Balin 15 Jun '02

15 Jun '02

HavenÂ’t seen it mentioned here on the list yet, but Chris Botti will be playing the Playboy Jazz Fest at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend. HeÂ’s scheduled for the second day (Sunday, June 16)Â…does anyone have info re: the possibilities of a guest or two on stage with him?! Not that he isnÂ’t reason enough, but how cool would that be? It is my understanding that they are not yet sold out for those of you wanting to visit mild-weathered Southern Cal for FatherÂ’s Day. Happy summer! Peace, love, and Sting Jen

Sting makes Money Report's Top 10 for 2001
by Morris, Donald T. 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

>From Rolling Stone: According to Rolling Stone's "Money Report", U2 was the highest grossing band in the music business last year, pulling in $61.9 Million US. Dr. Dre, the Beatles, Madonna, and the Dave Matthews Band were among the top 10, with Sting coming in at #10 with $24 Million US dollars. Calculations were based on net receipts, touring, recording and copyright royalties. God knows he needs the money. If we're lucky, he'll be in their top 10 list for 2003 from his new album tour next year. We can only hope. Don in Hot, Hot, Hot, Muggy but Sunny Florida 95° and 55% humidity (Feels like 109°)

I haven't heard his entire album yet, but I found the radio single that Columbia is pushing on the "I don't want these free CDs so help yourself" shelf at work and it was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised with it. I left it at home today, though, so I'll have to get back to you with the title of the song. All I remember is that the last stanza had something to do with going to his 10-year reunion... But a nice reference to Wrapped Around Your Finger though. :) steve >From: foxie <forfoxie(a)yahoo.com> >To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: [Police] Message In A Bottle by John Mayer >Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 05:30:50 -0700 (PDT) > > john mayer is an obvious police fan. he debut album, >ROOM FOR SQUARES (which a damn good) has a song "83", >containing the following lyric" > >...it's a bittersweet feeling hearing "wrapped around >your finger" on the radio"... > > >rich > > >--- Fred Berthelot <fredberthelot(a)earthlink.net> >wrote: > > I've put a very nice cover of Message In A Bottle by > > John Mayer on Turning Leaf. > > > > www.homestead.com/turningleaf > > > > Enjoy, > > > > Fred > > > > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup >http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com > >_______________________________________________ >Police mailing list >Police(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

Santa's Boyfriend
by Maggie White 11 Jun '02

11 Jun '02

Hi guys. I'm writing from an Internet cafe in London. We saw Santa's Boyfriend a few nights ago. Here's the important stuff. First, they had no CDs for sale. Sorry to all! Second, their new name is Fiction Plane. Joe started off the set by saying "We're Santa's Boyfriend, probably for the last time." I asked the keyboard player about Factory X and he said they couldn't use it because it was some other band's name or something. The show was in a small bar/pub. There were about 35-40 people. The band did not have a drummer. I guess he got fired from the band. Abe L. (Sting's drummer) was there. I talked to him for quite a while. He told me about the drummer getting fired. One other guy recognized him too and bought him beers all night. Abe is a great guy. He's playing with Paul McCartney. I asked about Paul getting married (it's in all the papers here) and Abe said that "might have something to do" with why he was still in London. Of course, now everyone knows Paul is getting married today. Paul had just finished playing the Jubilee. Abe said he talked with Prince Charles for 5 minutes at a party at Buckingham Palace. |He was stoked. He is such a good natured guy. He actually knows the town where I work becuase he has a friend there and I think one of my friends knows his friend, too. Small world! Abe sat in on one song for the band. Joe played drums on a few others. He also played keyboards on the opening song. They only played ONE song from Swings and Roundabouts (Everything will never be ok). All the other songs were new. There was one called "Lies" and one called something like "Fuck you and fuck your cigarette." I didn't think he sounded as much like Sting as he does on the CD, but he sure looked like his father at certain times. Even my husband noticed and thought it was eerie. Abe says Fiction Plane has signed with MCA, he thinks, and Joe told me that they hope to have a CD out in 6 months, that's why they weren't selling any of their old ones. They "want to do it right" he said. That's typical when a band signs. rubyhorse did the same thing when they signed with Island. They quit selling their indy CD at shows. Anyway, I talked with Joe a bit afterward. He said there's a new email list for the band. I think it's fictionplane(a)hotmail.com for those who are interested. Oh, a guy named Brian, who is Paul McCartney's bass player was with Abe. Abe was great on the drums (even though it was a tiny little drum set). I took several photos. Joe trashed the drum set at the end of the last song. They played for about an hour. That's all I can think of right now. I'll email when I get back in about a week and a half. We're on to Ireland in two days. We were supposed to see New Order on Sunday, but it was raining sooooo hard. I was soaked and cold and I didn't want to wait through a couple more crappy bands for New Order, so we left. Oh well. Bye. Maggie
