hello.music round six(ish) — Tea For the Tillerman

Last night I was playing through some songs by Sufjan Stevens and Cat Stevens and came across a song that I really enjoyed playing. I know the hello.music project and even the RPM Challenge we are taking part in this month is supposed to be original material, but I couldn’t help doing a cover of this short little song that closes Cat Steven’s album of the same name.

Not sure I am really adding a whole lot to this and it might still need some work, but it really is fun to play and sing… and it’s only 45 seconds so stick with me. Here it is…

Tea For the Tillerman version one.

Thoughts?

The Police return…

Normally the Grammys mean nothing to me (see also: irrelevant posturing and pulse-less) but I tuned in to see the return of one of my favourite bands, The Police. Sadly I just missed their short performance…but just caught it now on YouTube. Pretty great if you ask me. And if the rumours are indeed true of a reunion tour we might get to see more of them.

I usually stay away from paying attention to these reunion tour nostalgia acts but the Police certainly make it hard not to at least consider the large pricetag. Is anyone out there remotely interested in seeing the Police? If so, how much would you pay to see them live? Would it even be worth it?

Side note: Stewart Copeland has the same drum mannerisms and posture as Greg. Take a look… I swear he even sort of looks like Greg. If you squint.

UPDATE: Well it’s official.
