Hey, you know with a title like that I won't be talking about the police here - but about The Police - that uniquely melodic and syncopated group led by Sting ...
There's something about the voice and lyrics and the music of The Police that's almost not of this world - and that's what makes them so good.
I wrote previously about "I'll Be Watching You," but on many days Police's "Spirit in the Material World" is my favorite song of theirs, and on some days it's close to my favorite song, period...
The Police are really getting into the material world these days - they released a Police CD - a two-disc compilation - on June 5th, and you get a vintage poster when you buy it.
You'll find a lot more about all of this by looking behind this poster....
Please click on this to go and view an awesome banner where you can watch The Police's videos, listen to tracks from The Police's new 2 cd hits collection, enter to win a trip to NYC to see The Police in concert and even view details about their current world tour.
The tracks contain all their best recordings, and you can click on some of them to listen. I just listened to "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" - another masterpiece of music, lyric, and syncopation. You can also see The Police's fine video of that, along with "Roxanne" and "Message in a Bottle," two of my other favorites.
They got a contest going - if you win, you get to see The Police live in concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City - you'll be right there, in the audience. Hey, the site has details on The Police tour, a way to send all of this info to friends, and you can even download Police ringtones....
Every little thing they do is music ... and now they're out really there in both the virtual and the material worlds...

"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

The Police are great! Their music never seems to age - I guess because it was always so unique!
Yeah - they sound as fresh today as when they were first recorded. It's almost as if they took a time machine to 2007, recorded the tracks, then went back a few decades to release them...
