Have you ever seen The Police in concert? I have. Kind of. I haven’t had the opportunity to see them live in concert, but I have seen their concert on television before. I think that counts! I’m not sure how long ago it was, but I believe it was a few years ago at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, if memory serves me correctly. They performed two of my favorite songs, “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take”. That was a pretty great performance. I’m sure now that they’re back together for this tour it will be even more magical. I can just imagine how it would be to see that live and in person.

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to see Sting perform all of The Police hits and it’s been an amazing experience. I’d love to see them perform the songs from the new police cd that’s out. There are so many great songs on those 2 albums. Because “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take” are my favorite songs on the new police cd I’d most like to hear them, but I’d also look forward to hearing some other great songs like “Can’t Stand Losing You”, “Message In a Bottle” and “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”. I wonder how many of the 28 songs they’ll perform during the 30th anniversary tour. I bet it’s going to be amazing. If you haven’t done so yet, you should pick up their 30th anniversary album. It’s like a Greatest Hits, but better.

I haven’t yet heard the new police cd, which is surprising because I am a fan of them. I really don’t have one favorite song by The Police, because I have a few favorites. But if I had to pick my two favorites, they would Roxanne and Every Breath You Take. Trust me, picking just two is hard, especially once you see the 28, yes 28, songs that are available on their new 30th anniversary double album. But those are my favorites on the police cd that’s out now.

It’s crazy to think that The Police have been around that long. It’s funny, because my mother grew up listening to them and now I’m listening to them. That really says a lot about them and the kind of music that they make. They really do have amazing staying power. It’s also great that their music is still so relevant. Their music is timeless. When I listen to Roxanne and Every Breath You Take, I can’t tell those songs were recorded. Can you believe that Roxanne was released in 1978!!! I wasn’t even born then. And Sting still performs that song to this day and people go wild.

Now, artists of my generation are doing their own versions of The Police songs. They even perform them on American Idol. That goes to show how great their influence has been on people, musicians and pop culture in general.

I came across this CD that some people may like. It’s a compilation CD of various artists that’s called “Revenge of the B-Boy : Episode 2 (Attack of the toyz)”. Apparently this is the second CD in the series. I’ve never heard of it, but hey, you never know. The album features 12 newly recorded, old-school pop-locking grooves from an assortment of international producers and DJ’s from Switzerland, the U.K., Australia and the US. With tracks designed to inspire the dancer in everyone. Get the free CD.

I don’t know if you people know this or not, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Amy Winehouse. She’s definitely one of my favorite singers. I’ve been listening to her albums “Frank” and “Back To Black” for a while now, but her new album hasn’t actually been released in the States until now. “Back To Black” came out on Tuesday, March 13, and I’m expecting this album to be big. This CD is amazing. I really don’t know what else to say about Amy. She’s so soulful and talented. Have a listen.

I’m loving Regina Spektor. She’s an amazing singer. I haven’t heard all of her albums as of yet, but I definitely look forward to giving them a try. As of right now, I’m currently listening to Begin To Hope. Begin To Hope is Regina’s fifth album (behind 11:11, Songs, Soviet Kitsch and Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories). It’s a really eclectic album. You may have heard her song “Fidelity” on the radio, or seen the video on VH1. They play it A LOT. Check out some more info on Regina.
