Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
In 1983 I was a Sophomore in High School. I had a Spiral Perm, I wore teal eyeshadow, and I was in love with a band called The Police. I had a boyfriend who had his hair cut just like Sting, and boys were wearing Members Only Jackets just like the band. We used our Hi-Fi stereos to record cassette tape copies of their Albums and passed them around at lunch. EVERYONE I knew was crazy about The Police. I had been too young when Outlandos d’Amour came out in 1978, but by 1980 and the release of Zenyatta Mondatta, you couldn’t turn the radio on for more than a minute without hearing “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” or “De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da”.
Ghost in the Machine came out in ‘81, and spent 17 weeks at #1, because of hits like “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”. You’re talking four MONTHS where this was the biggest album in the country! By the time Synchronicity was released in 1983, The Police were a part of every day life for me. Which is why now, 24 years later, I am SO EXCITED that The Police are going on tour! Squueeeee!
In conjunction with the tour, Universal Music Group is releasing a new police cd, a 2 Disc set of 28 classic tracks:

Now, as if that wasn’t awesome enough, Universal Music Group has partnered with PayPerPost to help spread the word about the tour and the CD, and has given PPP ONE HUNDRED CDs to give away to Posties! I’m just about hyperventilating here thinking about how badly I want one of the CDs, which also comes with a wicked awesome vintage Police concert poster, and some cool PPP gear. You can see the vintage poster and a cute photo of Ted and Britt holding some CDs here at the PayPerPost blog.
So, to whomever at PayPerPost is reading this-ooh, ooh, pick me! pick me! Why should I be one of the lucky CD recipients? Because I promised my husband that I would start an exercise program to get in shape and be healthy, and this Police CD will be PERFECT for listening to while I’m on the treadmill, exercise bike, elliptical trainer, or just walking around my neighborhood pushing Kaitlyn in her stroller. And because listening to these songs that I loved for so many years will help me feel young again! LOL
In the comments tell me, do you plan to purchase the new police cd? Did you grow up loving the band like I did? The POLICE! On TOUR! Goosebumps!
LOVE The Police! As a college student, I bought every album (well at that time they were cassette tapes). When Sting went on his own, I bought every album (CDs by this time) - even his spanish language albums. There is nothing like The Police or Sting played on a great speaker system. I will be buying the ‘new’ release! Can’t get enough of the police! Cheers!
I have a question for you about making money on your blog, if you don’t mind emailing me. Specifically, I was wondering what which advertisers you liked best and if there is a way I can tap into some of them. You have a lot on your sidebars!
I still LOVE the Police! I graduated in 1984, had my Members Only jacket among other goofy eighties trendsetter goodies! I was sent here because you are a shining example of how to blog for PPP. I can see why; your writing is enjoyable!
Hi Lani,
I’d be happy to talk to you about making money with your blog. I’m in Chicago this weekend at the BlogHer conference; so if you could do me a favor and email me on Monday, at elizabeth@table4five.net, then I will be able to put together some recommendations for you. Thanks!
Hi James,
Thank you for that nice compliment! I am in Chicago this weekend, and PayPerPost is here as a sponsor. The people I have met from PPP are really terrific, and it just makes me love being a Postie even more. Thanks for coming here to read my post and for leaving such a nice comment

I don’t know about the popularity of the Police cd, but one thing I can tell you that this blog has ensured you that my next visit to the cd shop will be to get a police cd.
Jayanthi, I am so glad to hear that! Even if you already own all the songs on other CDs, they have been re-mastered and the songs sound better than ever. You will love it!
You have a great website! Keep rocking it:) Congrats for being one of a great sample kind of blog in PPP.
Btw, I love “The Police” too!take care and I hope u have a wonderful day!
Every breath you take, every move you make…
That’s my all time favorite Police song.
