Man I am soooo excited, but couldn't he have come up with a better Album Title? "Sacred Love" sounds like something Celine Dion would release (didn't someone already make this comment?). Ross

Re: [Police] Sting, Commander of the British Empire?

Commander Sting, or should that be Commander Sumner? Truly, I have to be honest...I think Sir Sting would sound silly. :D Teri ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

T-shirts and cover versions
by Angeline Adams 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

Hi all, I've always been rather disappointed at the difficulty of getting hold of Police t-shirts, though I understand why they're so thin on the ground nowadays. I did manage to get the "Every Breath You Take - The Singles" one in my size(normally you can only find XL or XXL shirts, and I'm small) from the fan club, but it has unfortunately had to join my Police memorabilia collection rather than being worn anymore, because the material is terrible and a round of wear/wash/wear/wash would only lead to the thing disintegrating. Well, I realised I needed some new t-shirts and decided that I'd make another attempt at finding Police ones. You're gonna love this: AT GOODRAGS.COM: (these all have a blue logo and b/w photo of the guys, and the shirts themselves are in different colours) The Police bleached lycra top (black and white shirt): http://www.goodrags.com/details.aspx?netsku=RB7358674&category=&function=in… Police guys t-shirt (black and yellow shirt): http://www.goodrags.com/details.aspx?netsku=RB100694&category=&function=ind… The Police girls t-shirt (black and yellow shirt): http://www.goodrags.com/details.aspx?netsku=RB105374&category=&function=ind… The Police dyed unisex t-shirt (pink shirt): http://www.goodrags.com/details.aspx?netsku=RB7290054&category=&function=in… The Police t-shirt (white shirt): http://www.goodrags.com/details.aspx?netsku=RB7880804&category=&function=in… The Police Lycra top (white shirt): http://www.goodrags.com/details.aspx?netsku=RB7882784&category=&function=in… The Police girls t-shirt (white shirt): http://www.goodrags.com/details.aspx?netsku=RB7887464&category=&function=in… AT REROCK4EVER.COM: (they have some of the same stuff as above, plus an extra item) The Police vintage look sleeveless top natural (looks pale yellow with black(?) trim: http://rerock4ever.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=R&Prod… AT EVERYTHINGENGLISH.COM: (put "Police" in the search field; they don't have links to specific items' pages) "Ghost In The Machine" t-shirt and "Outlandos d'Amour" t-shirt: www.everythingenglish.com AT STAGE-FRIGHT.COM: (put "Police" into search field) "Ghost In The Machine" t-shirt and "Outlandos d'Amour" t-shirt; also "Outlandos d'Amour" button badge The one thing I would advise you to do is to shop around and try doing a search via Yahoo.com on "The Police t-shirt" from time to time. Had I done this I'd have been able to get the shirts cheaper than I actually did. Anyway, I figured I would pass the links on because I can't be the only one desparate to get a t-shirt which a) fits and b) has the best band in the world on it! Also, I'm another person who finds herself identifying the songs quickly, much to the surprise of those around me. Out of curiosity, in the movie which featured a cover of EBYT, who was the cover done by? I'm always interested in hearing about new ones. I'd also like to ask about cover versions of Police songs from another perspective. I just read that the band Feeder (you might remember their very nice cover of "Can't Stand Losing You") have a bunch of fans who record their own cover versions of the band's songs. The fans have just put together their second CD of such covers. I hadn't heard of fans doing this before, though I know a lot of Police fans enjoy playing the songs themselves. So I wondered if anyone here would be interested in putting together the covers they've done? It might be cool to upload them so everyone else can hear.... All the best, Angeline P.S. Congrats Sting!!! _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail messages direct to your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile

Dominic Miller in http://play.rbn.com/url=ultrastar/ultrastar/demand/sting/dominicMiller/EPK. rm
by Sam Kington 14 Jun '03

(The URL is from sting.com's front page at the moment.) Is he, or is he not, a spitting image of Andy Summers? It's a combination, I think, of the comparatively (for him) short hair close to his face, and the wrinkles. More reverently, perhaps, Dominic's bridge / solo is well worth listening to, and the interview has some good bits as well, particularly at roughly 10 minutes after the end.

Sting at Dominic's show last night
by Deborah Gee 13 Jun '03

13 Jun '03

Jer and I are in London for Dom's shows this week and were delighted to see many familiar faces there .... including Sting's! Dominic looks great (the long hair is back) and sounds terrific. He shared his good news that 'Shapes' charted at number 1 in the UK Classical charts this week. Dom was clearly chuffed to share the news ... and metioned that he was shocked that his record sold more than Bocelli for the week. He and Neil Stacey really play well together and the venue they are playing is perfect--a 212 table seating jazz club in the heart of Soho. Very intimate setting. They played a mix of tunes from Dom's solo albums and their joint CD, as well as Hounds of Winter, during which Sting watched but didn't join them in. I had a nice chat with Sting after the show, during which he told me that his tour was starting in January. Andy Fynch decided that we'd been talking too long after about 10 mins and came over to ask about the "flavor" of the new album ... to which Sting responded, "Strawberry flavor mostly." Sting was in good form, very tanned and very relaxed. His goatee is now a short beard. We'll be there again every night for the next three nights so we'll let you know about the rest of the shows.

RE: [Police] I can name the song is half a note

Being known as "Rain-Anne" when it comes to music, I would love to have a piece of that showdown!!!

I can name the song in an eighth of a note -- in a public place, with music playing through the speakers, and lots of people talking at the table who aren't even noticing music is playing. I am the recognized reigning queen of "name that tune". Ah how I'd love to have a showdown!!

Re: Hard-to-find stuff
by Angeline Adams 13 Jun '03

Hi guys, Thanks for the links! I remembered hearing that a lot of people looked for Fiction Plane's album at Newbury Comics, but didn't realise until now that they had a website. This seems a good moment to remind people that Amazon are awaiting the Japanese release of that album, which includes a bonus track called "Lullaby". The link to it, due on the 18th, is here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000091KV9/qid=1055508747/sr=… I can't wait to get hold of the new version of "Moon Over Bourbon Street"; I figure I'll just order the first import disc that has it and save myself the trouble of finding it later. Oh, and I have another online store to recommend: www.eil.com. They have a wonderful selection, and pages for related artists are linked to (don't get too excited when you see the "Last Exit" page; there hasn't been anything there when I've checked, understandably due to the incredible scarcity of that stuff - but it's nice that they have the page ready, just in case :-D). I bought a magazine, tour book and mirror from them last year and was really pleased with the service. A few treats currently available there: "I Burn For You" and "One World" rare 12-inch US promo singles "The Police In The Studio" promo CD for "Synchronicity" w/ Sting and Stewart comments/interview something similar for "Zenyatta Mondatta" Have fun!:-D Oh, and I finally got the video of "Bring On The Night", which was fantastic.:) Angeline _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool emoticons - download MSN Messenger today! http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
