Police/Sting discography
by your sequin baby! 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Howdy howdy howdy, I was successful in locating my old discog files and have also been able to put them back online. I should say, however, that I have not gone through to check for bad links, missing photos, missing pages, etc. There likely are some. Perhaps even many. There are also a number of pages that will take a while to load if you are on a dial-up connection. Heck, a few take a while for me - and I'm on cable! It seems that a few years back, I decided to "spruce things up a bit" by losing the pre-formatted text and going with html formatting throughout. This means lots of tables and, in some cases, images too. You'll find that any year (page) in which Sting released an album (1985, 87, 91, 93, 96, etc.) will likely take longer to load as there was just more activity at that time - which means more releases that I noted - and thusly, more tables and, in some cases, images... "Awright, shuddup and give us the damn address!" *grin* Very well, here you are: http://snow.prohosting.com/aceface3/police/Police.htm And the bootleg portion (which is linked from the above address) can be found here: http://snow.prohosting.com/aceface3/bootlegs/bootlegs.htm If you encounter any problems, feel free to drop me a note. And by all means be as specific as you like. I'll attempt to fix whatever is pointed out to me. Mitch (it's nice to be back!)

Review of Fiction Plane in Montreal
by Kinetic Kid 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

First off, i would like to tell you guys that i had a fun last night. Actually, it was my longtime girlfriend who had the delightful surprise not knowing who was opening for Mathew Good who gave pretty good show if i might add. She flipped when i bought Fiction Planes CD at the t-shirt booth ... Saying in the likes "Are you joking me!!" with a huge smile across her face. It was pretty fantastic, i saw Joe looking at the stage all alone as i aproached him to say hello and show him my apreciation of the band, he was delighted to know that there were fans also on canadian soil.It was a brief conversation since it was hard to get the right questions out of my mouth and avoiding to say something stupid ... I am a very very shy guy so it was hard. My girlfriend could not aproach caus she is worse than me, but anyways We shook hands saying we'd meet after the show at the t-shirt counter and sign some CDs. He was very humble and nice. THE SHOW: They were first to play, i was amazed to know that they handled the tuning of their own equipment and not the roadies ... If they had any? They step onstage with enthousiam and delight with Joe saying that he was happy to be playing here, first time around. They played songs mostly from the new album to name a few: -Everything will never be OK -Hate -Real Real -Cigarette -Sickness They spoke alot between songs and jumped alot on stage, i was in heaven ... Sorry for the expression but they kicked serious ass!! The new drummer was really hammering the songs like a pro, Joe was really playing with passion and jumping around the stage like a young Sting once was, Dan was very social also with the public saying that he was delighted by the publics response, Seton was also in his game and played some good guitar. They left the stage very happy and i was about their performance ... Too bad it was short. But i told Joe that next time they come, they would have to play Silence which is one of my favorite off both albums... He looked at me saying that this one was a tough one to sing but he would consider it ... I thanked them all and told them i really apreciated the show, they were all nice. Hope this review helped, do not miss their shows they will become something great ... Joe definitely has his dad's charisma and he will rule the charts with his buddies! Beware! p.s: Amaryll, please contact me if you want more details, unfortunately it was hard to get a camera in. Cheers, Kinetic Kid __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

the video that comes up is not Rise and Fall. It's Craig David but not the duet with Sting.

Hello Gang, Is anyone else going to be going to the Fiction Plane show at the Horseshoe Tavern Tomorrow night? Same place Joe's dad played to about 14 people in the late 70's! It's not listed on their website (the bar's that is) so I double checked by phone and they are the first act to go on and are supposed to play at 9:15pm sharp. May find the band before the show, but will probably get a chance to chat with them after the show. Anyway, I'll be there nice and early.... tall guy, glasses, wearing an Oysterhead t-shirt... just to be funny! Well, it was either that or a Tragicalliy Hip shirt? Cheers David

RE: [Police] a little quiz!

Skeptically, I went to see Fiction Plane on Thursday at the Mercury Lounge. I know that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree but I really wanted this band to prove how good it is, aside from its "association" with Sting. I should have deduced from the fact that they carried their own instruments, set up their gear, schmoozed with some of the audience, etc. that Joe and his bandmates are really going it their own way, rather than having "dad's" connections pave the way for them. To boot, I saw them actually carrying their gear out of the club too. Bottom Line: I am a true believer. I was impressed. The were extremely tight, their sound was far better than what I heard on some downloads, and most importantly they're real musicians. They're not of the three chord chump variety (read: System of a Down or any other crap like that), that have hi-jacked radio the last few years. THEY CAN PLAY! They are an original band... Thank God! I also got a kick out of hearing Joe hit some high notes on a few songs. Closing my eyes, it was very easy to imagine that I was at CBGB's, back in 1979 hearing a fledgling band from England. I highly recommend seeing these guys live! -----Original Message----- From: amaryll To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: 4/5/03 8:57 AM Subject: [Police] a little quiz! if you like anagrams, here's one for you!
