funny day ...

27 Mar '02

Just a small story that I wanted to share. As it is my BD today, here in Greece it is the custom that one takes plenty of sweets (actually it are more small cakes) to his work. So after I stood up with Walking on the Moon and a nice English breakfast, I went to the Zaxariplasteio (shop where they sell only sugary things, sweets) and ordered a whole bunch of those things when suddenly Mad about you started playing on the radio, the version with Georgos Dalaras and Sting.... so I guess it will be a special day for me ,-)) PS: I just received the DVD of Brimstone and Treacle and it seems to be now also available in a 2001 version with a complete new packaging, although there are no extras, the artwork is quite nice. Much nicer than the older DVD version. Karel _

Re: Uncut Article I should think there is tension between Many-Miles-Away and Sting. From what I understand, it was the work of Miles that brought about Kim Turner's lawsuit. To make matters worse, Miles has commented in public that he had an oral agreement with Kim that controlled everything. Good luck proving that. My hunch (for what little it may be worth) is that Miles brought about the lawsuit by being..........well, by being Miles. Can't you just hear him: "Look Kim, it's not your table, blah, blah, blah." Even Duran, Duran couldn't stand him for more than about a week. Can you imagine him getting cross-examined at a trial? He'd alienate a jury in twenty seconds! I've never understood how Sting could, er........"Cope[ ]" with him. Good riddance. Stephen S.

Okay, Here is where I stand on this. I would much rather them give the award to Randy Newman for a song that truely fit with the movie than to Paul McCartney just because of who he is. I do think that Until... fit the mood of "Kate & Leopold" but the song from Monster's Inc. actually had lyrics that propelled the story line, even if that movie is for children (which might actually even make the songwriting process harder..) Now if it was an award given for performance and not songwriting I would have to say Sting should have walked away with it. Because you know, he was the best looking one there and I thought he sounded pretty good even thought you could hear the nervous quiver in his voice. Just my 2 cents. Heather

Oscar
by Maggie White 25 Mar '02

Well, to add my 2 cents, I'm glad Randy Newman won. Just because Sting was nominated, doesn't mean he deserves to win! Kate and Leopold was a "throwaway" movie, and I'm sorry, but "Until" didn't and still doesn't do anything for me. It's not at all catchy at its best and awkward at worst. Do you find yourself humming it throughout the day? Hardly. And it's too reminiscent of "If I could save time in a bottle..." I was more interested in the color of Sting's hair than the actual song. That doesn't make me less of a Sting fan, it just means that I think he has done and can do better work. Randy Newman's songs are always catchy, funny, appropriate to the movie, lyrically smart and unique. Sure, maybe after 16 nominations, it was a sympathy win, but it was also a well-deserved win for a catalog of works. I can't believe anyone honestly thought Sting would win, frankly. We are huge fans, but 99% of the rest of the world can take him or leave him. There were probably greater numbers of Faith Hill, Enya and Paul McCartney fans rooting for their folks. I guess many Sting fans were disappointed, but I wasn't. I'd rather see him win deservedly. Maggie

Yeah, astonishingly, I actually found myself tapping my feet to it.

It's a difficult song both for Sting to sing and for the listener to really get into. Though, I think it's okay, it's not an award-winner to me either. However, I think it's worlds above that Paul M. song for Vanilla sky (personally because I cringed when he sang it). As for Enya, I think she should have been nominated for the other song on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Of course, that one isn't in English. However, it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Teri BTW, I kept puting on the radio during boring parts of the Oscar show--and it was one Police song after another. :) ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
