Copeland not done with The Police

Stewart Copeland has always been the most vocal about getting The police back together. It’ll probably never happen as a regular working band concept again, but in the meantime Copeland is releasing his own tour documentary, Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out. It was shot during the band’s gigging for Zenyatta Mondatta, but if you’re going to be looking for any “classic Police fighting,” you’ll be disappointed. According to Copeland, “This movie showed me — and I hope it shows the world — that it’s a myth. This thing about the Police fighting all the time is just not true. We did argue — but any band that is a decent band, that has any kind of vitality, has creative tensions.”

Hello, he’s Johnny Cash…

…and he’s got a CD coming out in May. And, man, is it gonna be sweet. Personal File, which will be a 2-disc set, will consist of material which was recorded in July of 1973. It’s a predecessor of sorts to the recordings Cash did with Rubin during the winter of his life, given that it consists of sparse, acoustic recordings that are mostly just Johnny…but the difference is that he was in full voice in ’73. Count me in from the minute Best Buy opens its doors that Tuesday.

Scott Stapp sued for sex tape

Poor Scotty Stampp. First, the sex vid with him and Kid Rock appears, and now a chick claiming to be the star of “all the females in the video” is suing Stapp over said tape. Man, 2006 is turning out to be a big hit for Scott. No one wants to listen to his shitty album, but everyone wants to completely ruin the guy. As far as Kid Rock goes, he blames the whole debacle on Stapp as well. Rock on.

Madeleine Peyroux: “Don’t Wait Too Long”

You’ll recognize this song from the Dockers commercial where a man and a woman see each other on passing cable cars. One decides to get off, goes around to get on the other car, only to miss it. The two cars move off, leaving the man and woman standing on opposite sides of the tracks. What this has to do with pants I do not know.

The song itself is a jazzy little number with a great little repeating bass line. Peyroux provides the perfectly subtle vocals.

Listen to a song clip here.
