Looks like it was a sympathy win. Doesn't make it any more acceptable though. On a funny note, isn't it amazing that the "Neanderthal hand clap" is so distinctive with our man that you can tell it's him only be seeing his hands?!? They were showing John Goodman in the wings while Randy Newman was accepting (Sting's) award, and there they were~! Did anyone catch the E! Preawards red carpet interview with Sting, Trudie and Joan Rivers? What a dingbat dweeb she is. Maybe she was just in awe of his presence, but what a flake! And then they pan to the daughter talking to someone else right after that saying how these soundtracks really "revive" old singers careers. AS IF HE NEEDED IT! Please. Sorry, I'm tired and cranky.

I don't think it was Sting's award. While Randy Newman isn't on my playlist, I think the song goes with the movie very well... And must I be the only one on this list to say that I can't stand "Until"? My favourite song out of those nominated was Vanilla Sky, but at the end of the day, it goes on personal preference, and I guess the Oscar judges didn't like "Until" either. But I wouldn't ever say an award belongs to Sting just because I don't like the other choices... My 2 pence. J.

Re: [Police] new releases of Old material. Let's getstarted!!!

The HOF induction is usually in March in NY. But it's invite only. Tickets, when they are available to special people only, are in the $2,000 range, I believe. But really, it's only music folks and stars, I don't think "regular folks" are part of the evening. Didn't you see the audience on Wednesday? Occasionally, I've heard of charities auctioning a ticket or two, but I think those are few and far between. But you've got to admit, even seeing the guys play together on VH1 two nights later would be spectacular. Maggie >>> Jeff Smith <jeffanne(a)ns.sympatico.ca> 03/22/02 01:33PM >>> Hello all! I would (almost) kill to get "Police Around the World" and/or a complete collection of videos on DVD. I would bet that many of you out there on this list would drool at the prospect. Anyone know if this stuff exists. Who do we pester to get this produced? Perhaps the whole Hall of Fame thing would provide a good "marketing opportunity" for these sorts of releases. Speaking of induction ceremony, is it usually a certain week of the year? Sadly, I have to ask for vacation far in advance to be able to attend concerts, travel anywhere, etc... (I'm sure that I'm not alone in this) Anne >Oooooo! Me! Me! Count me in!

More HOF ramblings...
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 22 Mar '02

Since the induction is nearly at hand, what about our idea from many years ago about a list "reunion" in NYC to coincide with the induction? You know, something along the lines of a Star Trek convention, except the dealer's room is all Police and Sting merchandise and memorabilia, we all get together to share memories and put faces with the names on the list, etc. In fact, I think Ross and I (My Punny Friend and Me) came up with the idea of calling it "Sting-con-in-the-city". (Sorry) Anyone? NYC list members? Is this do-able? Just MY fantasy ramblings! Have a great weekend! Holly

I'd be happy to do that which we must to make this happen!!! discoduck <discoduck(a)shaw.ca> To: Sting <police(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent by: cc: police-admin(a)mailman.xm Subject: [Police] new releases of Old material. Let's get started!!! ission.com 03/20/2002 09:15 PM One of my pet peeves, is that none of Police stuff (nor early Sting solo stuff) is available on DVD. Wouldn't it be great if any of the following were on DVD? Outlanda to Synchros Police-Live in Atlanta Police-Around the World. Sting -Soul Cages concert Sting -Ten Summoner's Tales (or Travels would be even better) I for one would LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to have "Bring on the Night" (from the Blue Turtles era) on DVD. God, imagine the convenience of going directly to the "Lowlife" rehearsals? So how do we get started in doing this? Petition? Who is in charge?

RE: [Police] DTS CDs
by Fred Berthelot 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

Aside from The Police Best Of, there's Nothing Like The Sun, Ten Sumner's Tales, and Brand New Day. That's it I believe. I'm waiting for the day they release The Soul Cages in DTS. I'm also waiting to hear all the current ones (which I own) but I'll have to buy a DTS system first! I heard Universal will start to release "Super CD's" this spring. These are 5.1 audio CD's (not DTS DVD Audio like the Sting/Police ones) so 5.1 sound should become as common as stereo in the future... -----Original Message----- From: Maggie White [mailto:mwhite@gw.smbsd.k12.ca.us] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 3:34 PM To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] DTS CDs ... Now, which other Sting/Police DTS CDs are available? I know this has been posted before, but of course I wasn't paying attention because it didn't matter at the time. (Hey, at least I'm honest.) And are these CDs readily available or do I have to go to outer Zimbabwe and pay in doubloons in order to buy them? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Maggie

Maggie- Do you have the DTS version of "greatest hits" with De do do do '86 on it? If not, you owe it to yourself to get ahold of one. It's great! As far as other DTS titles, I have these: Summoner's Tales Brand New Day Greatest Hits (Police) I know that NLTS is out there, and I believe that Soul Cages may be also. -Tim >>> "Maggie White" <mwhite(a)gw.smbsd.k12.ca.us> 03/22/02 03:33PM >>> Well, we finally have our sound system set up to play DTS CDs (it's been a very long and involved process with defective equipment and my husband (Twiddle Dee) and his friend (Twiddle Dum) trying unsuccessfully to "marry" our many components together). Anyway, my hubby just called me and instead of saying HI, he just played the first few notes of Walking on the Moon from the only DTS CD we own (Best Of). He says it sounds really excellent. Now, which other Sting/Police DTS CDs are available? I know this has been posted before, but of course I wasn't paying attention because it didn't matter at the time. (Hey, at least I'm honest.)
