Re: [Police] Semi-OT: Metallica's new idea

That's incredible. So now the band that testified before congress that downloaded music was the evil that was going to bring about the end of the music buisness has their own free download site? Whee. Go Metallica. On a brighter note though, that is actually a pretty cool idea, and I'd love to see Sting do it as well. Of course, with all the shows being so similar... But it would be good, and it is a good way to raise interest in a given band, or their current material, etc. -Tim >>> "Mikkel Z.

Will we ever see Sting do something like this? Sadly, I think it's gonna be a cold day in hell before that day comes! I choose to believe that it is his management who block all these great ideas, but maybe it is our man himself? I can understand and fully respect that his focus is first and foremost on the music, but does anyone know how much he cares about all the "other stuff"?

Ah, I though you were taking Ross' advice and apologizing for your whining too! We're all a bunch of whiners and complainers when it comes right down to it! I won't apologize, the whining I've done is my own stupidity and not saying "NO" to $270 tickets that were so kindly offered to me during the presale. We all have the choice to say no to sting.com, Howard stern, TV, movies, etc. It drives me nuts that people don't realize that and try to shut down the howard sterns of the world. Just turn off the radio. Sorry, got off tangent, but I'm pissed about that! Michelle

Go figure this one out then... I paid $270 in Houston of all places. San Antonio, Dallas and Jones Beach were well over $100, but I need to check on exact amounts there. Usually it IS the other way around, higher on the East and West Coasts!

I think he should embrace that technology. Maybe he is. I just saw the "Twist" mix on itunes tonight. Same day I also learned from my 16 year old nephew that Twista is indeed a real rapper and he also pointed out he's a "wicked fast" rapper. Oh joy. If you haven't heard it yet, you can hear a snippet at the itunes store.

Hmmm, I hear the one in between leaves a little to be desired.... Nice to see some action on the list though!

Yeah, that's the ticket.... He'll never know it's me if I change my name! As long as he doesn't see the AMEX bill, I'm good! How the heck have you been amaryll, long time, no post!

Stolen Car Remixes up on iTunes Music Store
by Richard Ryder 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

I just noticed that these are available as exclusives on Apple's iTunes music store: Sting & Twista - Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing) [B. Recluse Mix - New Bridge Version] 3:05 Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing) [B. Recluse Mix - Instrumental] 3:03 Even with a free song credit thanks to Pepsi I can't bring myself to buy it. I'll probably just impulsively buy the import single when I see in in the record store just to have the CD :) Rich

That pretty much sums it all up. They probably started out just fans like us, wanting to create a Sting community. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like they get that much support from the Sting camp. I think they're doing a fine job with the small bones they've been tossed.

Since we're having an apologizing session, do you think I have to apologize to my husband for spending all his hard earned money on overpriced sting tickets? I haven't even told him how much I spent on this leg! : ) michlele
