This is how I feel too.  I don't even check this email account every day.

And I believe that the way people listen to music has changed.  I've loaded all my Police material into iTunes, so I usually end up listening to at least one song per day.  Do I listen to entire albums of them anymore?  No.  But I don't listen to anyone else's albums intact either, unless I'm listening to an old CD that I'm burning onto my hard drive.

 Yes, there's nothing really new with any of them,

I disagree - Stewart is (as always) very busy with tons of projects: his YouTube channel which is regularly showcasing some delightful new jams, his different musical productions and commissions around the world (a lot of my friends are planning on going to his opera production coming up in May)…it's just not the kind of stuff that gets mainstream attention. Andy has the Circa Zero project coming up soon, which sounds really interesting, and I was fortunate enough to see his documentary last fall in New York - I really hope it gets wider or DVD release sometime soon.

I think it's more the case that mailing lists, as forms of communication and keeping up with such things, are pretty much dead to be honest. When fans can interact directly with Stewart on Twitter and Facebook, when there are a bunch of fan groups there (like the PoliceWiki group sharing interesting collectibles and trivia regularly), when there's message board forums where it's easier to keep track of just the conversations you're interested in… to be honest this is pretty much the last place I look to when Police & solo-related conversation and news any longer (and yeah, I've been a lurker here on and off since the 90s myself…)

As far as hearing Police music on the radio, I still do quite often when I'm listening to classic rock stations (or even on the "soft rock" station at work.) They definitely have their younger fans, too - but they're all hanging out on Tumblr and would probably look at us cranky old dinosaurs funny about the idea of a "mailing list"…
