Sting in Stuff Magazine
by Trent Riggs 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

Sorry I didn't get this out sooner but I've been travelling for awhile. For those of you who collect every Sting photo/reference you can find, check out page 32 of the September issue of Stuff (Daisy Fuentes on the cover). It's a goofy shot of him cameoing in a London production of "The Play What I Wrote". Trent --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? HotJobs, a Yahoo! service - Search Thousands of New Jobs

Heejun Moon, a Korean singer, covers Shape of my heart in Korean
by Joohyun Lee 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

As I wrote in the subject line, a Korean male singer named Heejun Moon sang 'Shape of my heart' in his 2002 newly-released solo album. The lyric has changed into melodramatic Korean words but the atmosphere on the whole is almost the same. Its Korean title is 'After tear dries (love theme 2)'. He is in his early 20s and sings just as unripe. Not like Sting! I myself don't quite like this cover. (I'd rather say I loathe this.... ha ha.) Here is the mp3 file link of the cover. http://infini.pe.kr/Temp/moon_heejun_2th_[messiah]_-_10._after_tear_dries_(… I will let this link available during this week only. I wonder I'd like to know if A&M records know this... Shoudn't Moon have authorized by Sting or A&M Records before using Sting's tune in his own album? Any idea? Anyway, good to be back. I haven't been subscribed this list for a while because of the problem in my previous e-mail account.

another great cover
by Teri Kronberg 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

I just like to mention that I saw a great cover band this past saturday at the Arlington county fair. They did the best version (this side of The Police) of Message in a Bottle. I closed my eyes, and if I didn't know better--would have sworn it was '79 and Sting, Andy and Stewart were right there on the stage. The band is called "Gonzo's Nose". Anyone in this area of Northern Virginia can check them out Aug. 29th at the at Ballston Mall.

Hi Sam, I remember that post too, and I cringe every time I hear one of those songs at a wedding!

Re: Worst Played Songs at a Wedding Try "I'm so Happy I Can't Stop Crying." There's also a country song (but I can't remember the band) entitled, "I'm So Miserable Without You It's Almost As If You Were Here."

Robert Palmer/Bernhard Sumner/mobile
by Ruediger Hoeckel 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

Hi folks, I just have to add my 2 cents here: - Robert Palmer & Sting/Will Powers: I had this LP for a while and I remember that many, many artists where involved in this project of photographer Lynn Goldsmith. 1983 Will Powers: Dancing For Mental Health the inner sleeve stated the following: -> with support from Andy Summers and Sting -> "Adventures in success" (3:40) co-written by Sting If you ask me I would say that Sting played the saxophone on this one... -> "Smile" (6:33) with support from Andy Summers The song "Adventures in success" also appeared on the soundtrack for the movie "Pumping Iron". - Bernhard Sumner & Sting: The connection can be found on Electronica's selftitle debut album: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=A4e8j1vdjzzva Sting is mentioned as "keyboards, programming". I have the CD at home (as I enjoy New Order's side project "Electronica", too) but so far I haven't listened to it. My guess is that "Sting" is the name of another DJ, just like the one who worked together with Shaggy. - mobile phone: Any URLs where I can download Sting/Police-related logos and/or tunes?

Worst songs to play at a wedding
by Sam Kington 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

Hi, I remember, ages ago, someone posted a link to a list of the worst songs to play at your wedding, which included Every Breath You Take and U2's One; unfortunately I can't find it in the archives anywhere. Which is a pity, as I want to play a DJ set of those two songs, and any other inappropriate wedding songs, at my wedding reception next month, as a joke. Did anyone keep it anywhere, or remember the URL (assuming the URL still works)? Sam -- Home page: http://www.illuminated.co.uk/
