The Kinks Are Reuniting Too? Damn...

Well, the great ol' "jump to conclusions" source, NME.com, is reporting that indeed legendary '60s pop-invaders, The Kinks, are eager to reunite in support of their career-encompassing box-set, Retrospective.

Ray Davies spoke to NME.com saying, "I spoke to Quaife [bass] about a month ago and he dearly wants to make another record with me," said Davies. "I think Dave's [Davies] getting better and Mick's [drums] still playing. It would be great to get back together just to see what musical ideas we had and what would happen."

Solo records not selling, Ray? Seems a shame to have to pull together after his brother Dave is still recovering from a stroke. But, hey, if Dick Clark can do it, so can they... I guess.

The Police Reunite!

Finally, The Police have begun their reunin tour in Vancouver in front of 4,000 fans. Playing a warm up fan club only performance, the band were apparently a little rocky and not the "best".

Here is the set list:

"Message in a Bottle"
"Synchronicity II"
"Don't Stand So Close to Me"
"Voices Inside My Head"/"When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around"
"Spirits in the Material World"
"Driven to Tears"
"Walking on the Moon"
"Truth Hits Everybody"
"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"
"Wrapped Around Your Finger"
"The Bed's Too Big Without You"
"Murder by Numbers"
"De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"
"Invisible Sun"
"Walking in Your Footsteps"
"Can't Stand Losing You"
"Roxanne"
"King of Pain"
"So Lonely"
"Every Breath You Take"
"Next to You"

Also, Eddie Vedder was in the house...

I am sure that as the tour goes on they will get a bit more comfortable playing together again...but its the Police...do you honestly think anyone is going to say they suck?
