Sending Out An SOS


Don't forget to pick up The Mercury tomorrow for a chance to win some Police tickets! (more details here)

If you need more convincing, here's a video from this past summer's LiveEarth when The Police took to the stage with some pals to perform "Message In A Bottle." And by pals, I mean John Mayer on guitar and Kanye West jumping in to awkwardly add some freestyle to the classic anthem. Kanye seemed a bit out of place, but otherwise, pretty slick stuff. Enjoy!

Top 5 Tuesdays! Best of The Police


In honor of the tickets we're giving away to see The Police (look in Time Out on Thursday or the Sunday paper to win), the top 5 for this week will be our favorite 5 Police songs to groove to here in the Scene & Heard office. And believe us when we say it was darn hard to leave "Mother" off this list.

The Top 5 Police tunes
5. Synchronicity I - if this fiery tune doesn't get you charged, you're probably a turtle stuck on your back. That, and completely lame.
4. Roxanne - no one felt bad for uh... hookers till this song broke the group into the limelight
3. Deathwish - a barn burning groovefest of punky awesomeness.
2. King of Pain - self-martyrdom and pity never sounded so gorgeous. Or awesome!
1. Message In A Bottle - too anthemicly powerful to not top the list. Sounds as relevant now as it did when Reagen was president. Relate it to love, or politics, or life in general, and it hits home just as hard.
