(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.

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

Re: Hard-to-find stuff

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

I can name the song is half a note

Channel surfing, the movie "Cat's Eye" was on and playing for only an instant was a cover of "Every Breath You take." I could tell almost instantly what it was (and cover at that). So of course I went back and kept it on for the remaining part of the song. Not bad cover either. I've actually baffled friends how I can pick out Police/Sting songs at literally an instant. Just thought I'd brag, Ross

Brimstome DVD
by Kinetic Kid 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Hi everyone ! It's been a while , busy with school this year! Anyway, just a thing i noticed on the Brimstone DVD ... NO EXTRA FEATURES!!! They could have put the video to spread a little happiness, interviews with the actors and director, Edited cuts from the movie ... etc. They really sucked for that, knowing that was the ultimate Sting movie. My two cents. Cheers! Kinetic Kid __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook(TM). http://calendar.yahoo.com

A friend of mine to interview Sting!
by Michele Piumini 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Hi everyone, Yesterday I got an email from a dear friend of mine: she works for Gioia, an important Italian magazine, and we're trying to arrange a lunch together one of these days. Well, guess what she says: "we'll have to wait until next week because on Tuesday I'm flying to London to interview Sting!" I jumped on my seat when I read her email... I asked her if I could go too, she said she'd try her best, but then the guys at Universal told her she couldn't take anyone with her... Well, at least the dream lasted for a few hours. Anyway, when she comes back I'm going to ask every detail off her, and I'll sure fill you in on any interesting news. Ciao Michele

Re: [Police] Turning Japanese and Moon 2003

The Virgin Megastore here in NYC was nicely stocked with the Japanese "...All This Time" when it was released. I ended up ordering it online somewhere, and one of my good friends enlightened me that Virgin had an ample supply on hand. They have a website - http://www.virginmegastore.com. I would check it periodically to see if/when they get the imports in. Steve >From: Richard Ryder <ryder(a)cesmail.net> >To: "R. M.
