Alright, pretend I said 'We Can't Dance' or '...But Seriously' instead.

I love this nonsense. I love the mutual delusion - Sting's belief that acting the Renaissance minstrel makes him look every inch the serious artist, and Edin Karamazov thinking 'yes! yes! Finally, with a contemporary rock and roll star on my side - finally, the world will understand the sacred power of the lute!' They lute each other to orgasm. Then impossibly it all cranks up a notch and Sting dumps Karamazov for a council of Stings sitting at a table singing in harmony admiring each other and thinking about sucking each others' cocks. It's just mad. I implore you to watch it immediately.

This is absolute gold, thank you for this and your description.

This is Andy Partridge from XTC being interviewed circa 2007. Not sure who TB is. Probably not Tony Banks.
Sting is like someone from Big Train playing Sting in a sketch.

Andy Partridge: "I actually heard a horrible story about Sting -- where'd I hear this story, about someone who went to dinner with him, and a few other people...

TB: I sent you that! From the Holy Moly newsletter...

AP: Yeah, you did! He pulls out his iPod during dinner, cutting himself off from the conversation...

TB: ... and the guests ask Trudi if they said anything wrong, to make him be so anti-social. She says, "He always does it, and the worst thing is, he's listening to his own fucking music."

I always enjoyed Paxman calling him a hypocrite on newsnight.

I don't seem to mind him as much as most. Police have some good songs. He's had a few decent solo ones. I actually bought Desert Rose. Hey ho.

madhair60

Why the fuck did he shake Triple H's hand!? He just hit him with a sledgehammer! For that matter, why did the NWO help him!? They're sworn enemies!!

Why the FUCK does this forum have a wrestling thread?

It's Todd Bernhardt - from the 'Andy's Take' series of interviews. The specific Sting quote is from the one talking about 'Great Fire' :

-----

They did over a hundred of these - in depth ramblings about the songs, about 30 were published in a book 'Complicated Game' (the one for Great Fire wasn't in it, though)

Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory also did a few - all on this page : http://chalkhills.org/articles/XTCFans.html

I've downloaded the album with Shaggy out of curiosity to see what it's like. Will report back!

I haven't, but I think we'll reach the same conclusion.

Shagging.

I'm slightly inebriated, but I thought he came across alright in that interview and the single sounds okay - I think browsing through records in Honest Jons with Sting would be okay.

TheMonk

Shaggy and Sting is the most completely ridiculous pairing in music history. Fact.

What in the name of GOD was that.

There's a fairly heavy marketing push for the Sting and Shaggy collaborative LP where I am, and even months after the announcement, it still makes me laugh each time I see it.

An acquaintance of mine knows his daughter, and apparently she is "mortified" by the record and accompanying video, which makes it even funnier.

sevendaughters

i met one of Sting's daughters in the Rainbow in Birmingham, unbelievably beautiful.

don't think the Sting/Shaggy record is that surprising or bad, both have reggae roots, however inauthentic. it's no Chaka Demus but i aver better than anything an ex-X Factor person has done.

I'd collapse into joyful, uncontrollable hysterics that wouldn't abate for at least a month if I woke up one morning and learned that my dad had released an album with Shaggy. This situation is utterly wasted on Sting's sourpuss daughter.

This.

Was she worried that her insuffreable lutewanker of a dad would come off looking silly just because hes done a novelty reggae record with shaggy?

Like he was doing so well at not looking like a berk and just fucked it at the last minute?

his earlier career with the police was novelty reggae; tbf, he's going back to what he does.. erm... what he does.

Whatever Sting does, he gets a life pass for me for Every Breath You Take, which for me evokes memories summer thirty-five years ago and has remained consistently loved by me since.

Don't suppose anyone saw Sting and Shaggy serenading the queen the other night?
They closed the show with a medley.








It was great.
