Friday Featured Track for Oct. 9, 2009
The song that has been on my brain the most this week:
- “Message in a Bottle,” The Police, from the 1979 album “Reggatta de Blanc.”
With it’s distinctive guitar riff and thumping bassline, it’s easy to get this song, the band’s first No. 1 hit in the U.K., stuck in your head. This song is the trio of Sting (lead vocals, bass guitar), Andy Summers (guitar, vocals) and Stewart Copeland (drums, vocals, percussion) at its finest.
Plus, this song is awfully fun to play on “Rock Band.”
And if you need another reaon, with all the rain we’ve had this week in Oklahoma, soon the only reasonable means of communication will be a message in a bottle.
-BAM

Great choice! This is especially timely as Stewart Copeland’s memoirs, Strange Things Happen, was just released this week by HarperStudios. It’s a great read, and I highly recommend it.
