Sting education/childrens Book
by David Lucky 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

I went to the Library yesterday and lo and behold in the kids section there is a new book biography of Sting. Its a brand new book with a great picture of sting on the cover. I never heard of the book before. It is a book for school age children in a series called "World Musicmakers" that also includes Celine Dion, Elton John, John Lennon and Sting. It is 64 pages long and up-to-date and has some great pics - a couple of which I actually hadnt seen before. Thought this group might be interested as well as I was. Its available on Amazon and the publisher of these education targeted books has a link below. http://www.gale.com/servlet/ItemDetailServlet?region=9&imprint=070&titleCod… Sting probably wouldnt approve of the heavy use of quotes from the Sandford book. It also references the Sting.com site and must have been made before Sting's bio came out. Interestingly he 3 Sting Websites referenced in the book are: sting.com, suite101.com and progressiverockers.com David

Phil- That song was a track on Andy's album "Green Chimneys," which was an album of Thelonius Monk covers. I also love that recording, and it is haunting. Very, very good album on its own, btw. -Tim >>> "Phil Carreon" <carreon_riverside(a)mbretailer.com> 08/11/04 07:00PM >>> Regarding B-sides, not sure if this song was from an Andy Summers album, but I have copy of 'Round Midnight' with Summers playing guitar and Sting on vocals. A friend of mine who lives in Australia (I live in California) sent the song to me via a burned CD and this song is awesomely (is that a word?) haunting!

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but isn't the music in "January Stars" and "Everybody Laughed But You" the same? Or am I thinking of something else? I'm at work and can't check it to be sure. Why did Sting use two different sets of lyrics for that song? Thanks. Note: forwarded message attached. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

I do love "If You There". I'm also rather fond of "Another Day", though I prefer the live version. Hmmm, what else? January Stars is nice; Everybody Laughed But You was onthe UK version of TST anyway. Angeline _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?

Dig out your b-sides
by Josh Corwin 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hey everyone. While finally unpacking more of my cd's after moving, I came across my You Still Touch Me. It has the title track, Lullaby To An Anxious Child, The Pirates Bride, and 25 to Midnight. For all the debate about Sting recent solo albums (recent like 10 years recent), I really suggest to dig out this single or to listen to the four songs on it in one sitting. With the exception of Inside & Stolen Car, I believe that I would trade all of Sacred Love for the four songs mentioned above. Still hard to imagine that the same person wrote The Pirates Bride and one track later wrote 25 to midnight. Does anyone know if there are ANY live versions of Pirates Bride. I don't have any and a search is turning up empty. Anyone? Bueller? -Josh PS- If you like Sacred Love better than Mercury Falling, that's your opinion. Years down the line, I think MF stands out as a great album. It's one of my favorites..Probably tied with TSC, TST, NLTS, & Turtles. BND is second with Sacred Love a distant third.

Hey everyone (or anyone for that matter) I'm dying to get my hands on Stewart Copelands newest album 'Orchastrelli'. I was hoping that it would be released eventually in the USA, but it doesn't look like it will? Any suggestions? -Phil
