Artist: sting

I just got a great review in one of Sweden's bigges morning papers, and the rest of the world is not late on following the trend. TOANWTS is appointed the prestigious title of " Album of the Month " on renowned music blog Bluesbunny " Perhaps her most interesting artistic choice however is the sound of the album this time around. Country flavoured sonic touches abound on many of the songs thus giving the album an underlying focus and, [...]

On February 5, Indianapolis will host Super Bowl XLVI — the 46th iteration of America's biggest game. Millions of fans will gather 'round the television set with seven-layer dip and cold drinks to watch an epic match-up of teams, the year's funniest and most expensive commercials and most importantly — as far as we're concerned — Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show . The newly minted Interscope singer has been on her grind lately, promoting her Golden Globe-winning directorial debut W.E. , unleashing a super sexy fragrance line [...]

Phil writes: I caught a bit of an extended Radio 2 interview with Sting. I was reminded of this version of possibly his best song, surely one of the greatest covers ever.

Sting : Consider Me Gone [ purchase ] Here's one way to find songs for this week's theme. Look up Dream of the Blue Turtles on Wikipedia, find the section where it lists the personnel on the album, and then follow the links to find out what else they each played on. You will find that this band had some serious jazz credentials, and that they went on to work with many mainstream artists who wanted to add a taste of jazz to their sound, if only for a song or [...]

Belgian-Australian Wally De Backer found the winning formula with his 3rd album under the Gotye moniker. 'Making Mirrors' saw the multi-instrumentalist bring his unique Sting-meets-Ceelo sampling appeal to a greater audience no doubt led by the success of lead single 'Somebody That I Used To Know. Cougar regular Emily, who also wrote this gushing review, [...]

Filed under: News , Video C Flanigan/FilmMagic 21-years-ago, songwriter Bob Geldof and Sting started a long-running belief that the Police frontman could last a whole day in the sack. During an evening interview with a rock journalist, the friendly musicians spoke of their love lives. Geldof claimed to be a " three-minute man ," while pegging his buddy as a yoga-fueled tantric sex machine, capable of sustaining 24 hours of [...]

Michael Buble's Christmas album has quickly become one of the year's best sellers , and, well, Saturday Night Live wasn't about to let this past weekend's musical guest get away without a parody. Actually, it was pretty much every other popular singer at the moment who got the stuffing taken out them in the hilarious mock ad for Buble's faux holiday duets collection. Jimmy Fallon spoofed Sting perfectly, donned a swooping wig and danced around like a hyperactive Justin Bieber and did a dead-on impression of Katy Perry's husband Russell Brand in the [...]

I had a great time playing at the Cock'n Bull last night. It felt like a mini festival as we were 4 bands playing, had a bonfire going and the stage was outside in a little party tent. I met some really cool people and the other bands were great too. As if it's not enough with this blog, Facebook and everything I've decided to start yet another blog to keep up during this tour. It's called "My morning view" and I'm posting a picture from where I wake up every day. As we're traveling in the RV, [...]

We're getting close to the final countdown, and we've hit number ten the MUZU.TV Christmas Video Chart. It's the all time classic that is Band Aid, with Feed The World. It features some eighties greats, such as Bono from U2 , George Michael from Wham , and Sting from The Police . The emotive video is something different from the normal festive madness that we are used to experiencing, highlighing the third world poverty and consequentially starvation of millions during the mid eighties. It's a moving number that certainly makes you [...]

In the wide realm of '90s TV shows for kids, with the limited acting skills and ridiculous plots, Goosebumps was one of the most memorable - more so for the awful acting than anything else. One of its episodes shares the same name as this next band, who make spines tingle in a completely different

Listen to all four discs of new Dylan covers from My Morning Jacket, Patti Smith, Kesha, Queens of the Stone Age, the Avett Brothers, the Gaslight Anthem, and dozens more!

Quattro dischi, più di settanta canzoni, oltre ottanta artisti (l'ultimo è l'unico, inimitabile autore dei brani): " Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International " è una raccolta di cover che una delle più importanti associazioni umanitarie al mondo ha deciso di assemblare per celebrare i suoi cinquant'anni di attività. Ha scelto un musicista-simbolo, un cantautore che ha saputo unire impegno sociale e poesia, protesta e sensibilità nei confronti del mondo in cui viviamo, che iniziava ad accelerare la corsa del progresso lasciando troppo spesso indietro quella per i diritti umani. [...]

all photos by debi del grande What could a talent such as Sting possibly do after one of the most successful musical careers in history? The former English teacher has pretty much done it all musically as well as being an activist, actor and philanthropist. I mean, he mastered the lute. Thankfully for fans, Sting is celebrating his 25th anniversary of his solo career by stripping down (we wish literally) for his Back to Bass Tour by playing in intimate theatre settings. In 1991, Sting performed his Soul Cages Tour in a similar [...]

Earlier today, Sting stopped by Ellen to perform "Desert Rose", no doubt dazzling the millions of mothers across America watching in adoration. While the track's certainly fitting for Jaguar commercials and dentist offices, for some it adds a quasi-seasonal flavor to the holiday season. Whoever books for Ms. DeGeneres knows exactly what they're doing. As for the performance itself, Sting wasn't alone, and had support from his Back to Bass band. Somewhere in there a dancer joined in on the fun, too - a lady in red , no less. See, this is [...]

Chanteur et bassiste du groupe britannique The Police, Sting entame sa carrière solo en 1985 (ça nous rajeunit pas). Outre son engagement politique et écologique, il vend ses albums à la pelle durant les 20-30 années de règne du format CD. Véritable patrimoine musical de la pop et du rock anglais Sting ne dérogera pas à la règle du sampling. En 1996 le rappeur Nas âgé de seulement 23 ans sort son deuxième opus. Deuxième claque pour le hip-hop qui voit naître une nouvelle école. Un virage plus pop, des invités [...]

► Rachel Yamagata headlines a sold-out Troubadour behind her first release in three years, "Chesapeake." Mike Viola, who released his own new album "Electro de Perfecto" in September, opens.

Sting made a massive loss in the year he's just published accounts for - over £20million quid. Don't worry, though: before we start to have a whip-round, it was just an accounting move to save him from £2million worth of tax. Because, hey, why should Sting pay his share like the rest of us? -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch
