STEWART COPELAND

I'd just like to say something about the remixes I first heard on the "Everyone Stares" DVD. I think they're amazingly good, and I'm glad I'm now able to listen to them without leaving the DVD itself running a menu screen on a loop.

These mashups are clever, clean, entertaining as hell, and most importantly, [i]different[/i]. They're not "derangements," they're "adjustments."

Being composed almost entirely of Police-generated material, they won't present the same level of cross-artist irony as something done by, say, The Kleptones... but, damn. I do love hearing variations on The Gospel According to Sting. I wish more were available. Thank you, Mr. C.

Just sayin'.

oh yeah, seconded. now THERE'S an arrangement of 'don't stand so close to me' they should have drawn from!

I love your post; you have great taste and derangement is underrated.

HA!

I concur, honey.

I feel similar about the new arrangements in the tour. I (personally) enjoy hearing something new -- even when I don't personally think it's improved. I like the variation, I like the surprise, and I like knowing that the band is willing to take risks. Plus, I like some of the new results. (Never much cared about "Footsteps," but I LOVE the new version. Love the similarly upbeat "Footsteps" derangement for that matter.)

"Walking in Your Tube Socks"?

Mwuhahahahaaaa.

Niiiice.

Aw geez. Wait'll you see the New Orleans pictures...apparently tube socks are considered a fetish item on Bourbon Street...
