Please click on this to go and view an awesome banner where you can watch The Police’s videos, listen to tracks from The Police’s new 2 cd hits collection, enter to win a trip to NYC to see The Police in concert and even view details about their current world tour.

First off, let me say, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the work of The Police these past few years, but this post brought it all back to me. Aw heck, I loved this group. They were one of the best groups on the scene when I was in my 30s. It seems they released a 2 disc compilation Police CD on June 5th and are promoting it via the Internet. Their banner is hot with all of the following for you to enjoy:

Videos: All of their best music is showcased with their videos, you know, the ones you loved to watch again and again.

Tracklist/Jukebox: If you don’t want to watch, but just listen while you work, which is what I did after playing a few vids and garnering a small crowd and a glare from very nice voice, this is the way to go.

Tour: Yes!! I love The Police and they are going on tour. Can it get any better than this! Looks like they’re going everywhere, but they’ll be in New York. I’m past the age where I want to wait all night in a queue in front of the ticket place. My daughter is all about that. So, I say, thank god for the Internet. I can hover over my send button to get tickets.

Enter The Contest: You can enter to win a trip to New York City to see The Police in concert. That is, free tickets to a really great concert with a band you know is great. You’ll get in no matter what, and you know that the concert will be sold out quick. So this is a no-brainer to enter the contest. I live in Philly and it’s only a short hop to the Big Apple.

Send To Friend: Don’t forget your friends. If they’re working all day like me, they might of missed this one. I know all my friends will love to go to the concert and get the CDs.

Ringtones: We’ve got ringtones of your favorite songs. In today’s tech world, you know we couldn’t have music without ringtones. So, now I get to redo my phone.

That 2 Disc Compilation has some of my favorite songs including Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, King of Pain, Synchronicity – classics worth every penny if your a Police fan. They will give away a vintage poster with every 2 disc CD compilation, too. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Don’t depend on me entirely, because I will tell you, I’m a big Police fan, always have been. Check out the banner for yourself. It’s called EyeWonder. It will take you right back to when The Police first released these great songs. Surf on over to Amazon to get your own copy.

And, get ready for a fantastic concert, enter the contest and maybe you’ll win free tickets. What could be better than that.

Ever consider how music plays such a large part in our lives? I cannot think of a day when I did not hear music. Whether you have a collection of thousands of CDs or in my case albums or just turn on the radio during your morning commute to work, you are a connoisseur of music.

Do you ever wonder how it gets to you or do you ever wonder who decides what music gets played and what music doesn?t??Do you ever wonder why only certain artists get played or have their music sold in major retail outlets? Has it ever crossed your mind what trends are going to overtake music next? Well the answer to most of these questions lies within the major record labels.

If you love or hate an artist, it?s their record label that you either thank or blame. The major record labels take on new artists and promote the sales of their CDs and/or DVDs. They may also help other companies with tour promotions and other public events.

A recording company will usually take on an artist for a specific length of time or for so many recordings. This depends on the terms of the contract negotiated with the major record labels. If you have ever taken a look at your CD and or DVD collection you?ll probably find that nearly 90% of them come from one of the five major record labels in some way shape or form.

Do the names Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI Group, Warner Brothers and BMG entertainment sound familiar??These are known as the big 5 and make up the five major record labels.?They account for the vast number of artists, videos and movies. When looking for a job in the music industry, the major record labels are the people to talk to.?

You may be looking at your CD covers and if you?re like me you scan the entire label searching for information. You may see a name other than one of the five major record labels. This doesn?t mean that you?ve purchased a CD from someone who duplicated it.

However, what is most likely happening is that you have bought something from one of their subsidiary companies. All of the five major record labels own subsidiary companies. For example, the once great Motown record label is now a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. Capitol Records is also a member of EMI?s subsidiaries. The list is endless.

The music we listen to today is largely determined by the five companies noted. You probably aren?t concerned about that when you are dancing to the latest hip-hop hit or singing along to a chart-topping country song. The major record labels do have a way of bringing rhythm to our lives.
