Donald Reid (brother of James from The Feelers) trying to describe his sound:
"Some people have said it sounds a bit like a cross between say Neil Finn and Sting -- if you were to give them a glass of wine and sit them on a beach and tell them to write a song".
Ha ha, classic! My vote for quote of the year : )

I like how it's not just a cross between Neil Finn and Sting, but Neil Finn and Sting pissed. Surely such a creative output could only end up like an acoustic version of Th' Dude's "Bliss".

hell, what a sad indictment. Sting is the biggest twat in the world of music, bar none , and the analogy above just reeks of the sort of self-importance that Sting is notorious for - is Donald Reid's shit really that bad?

Heard him on NatRad a few months back. No redeemable qualities whatsoever. He blabbered on about being a songwriter of note when most of the jingles on Radio Sport have better melodies and less obvious lyrics.

Your music is uninspired and pointless. You're very slightly famous because of your successful brother, who specialises in M.O.R rock for morons. You will release one or two albums, which will tank. You are Donald Reid.
(Sorry, but why the fuck do fuckwits like this get support while the amazing stuff that Blink showcases gets ignored? Try harder, Donald Reid)

Actually, the more I think about that scenario, the more absurd it is. I imagine a cold, windy day. Sting and Neil are led over and sat down on a damp log of driftwood, Neil's given an acoustic guitar, Sting and acoustic bass. The teamleader hands them each a glass of chardonnay (which has already gathered windblown sand in the bottom) and tells them to write a song. Two hours later, the two are cold, shitty and Sting really needs to have a piss. All they've managed is a lame blues jam about how cold and miserable they are.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that quote from Donald sounds like something David Brent would say? Maybe at heart Donald is just "a chilled out entertainer"?!

The comment on Blink is very true that guy puts alot of energy into good things that deserve alot more recognition than they get, here here.

what about if sting and some other prep-rocker were put on a beach together with a glass of fine wine and some expensive fishing gear and a ski pass and some nice sunglasses (like really expensive) and them somebody like Johnny Ramone or the Fonz from happy days came along and literally beat the fuck out of them. Why? Well why not?? That sort of thing is amusing to me.

//somebody like Johnny Ramone or the Fonz from happy days came along and literally beat the fuck out of them.
I'm all in favour of violence against Sting, so I'm curious - how exactly does one literally beat the fuck out of someone? Are you talking about destroying their sexual organs? I'm pretty sure that's still mostly figurative though.

well, maybe it means taking away Sting's self-proclaimed prowess at tantric sex.
But I'm sure whatever happened to him, he would subsequently use for the furtherment of his art.
Dream of the Blue Turtles - Sting live and unplugged at Donald Reid vineyard, Tuscany.

I'd suggest it means beating someone to the extent where they cant function sexually, wether it be a severe beating to the toilet parts or otherwise.
Maybe a variation on the "too drunk to fuck" theme, "too bashed to fuck?"

You Know, I Used To Be Kind Of Cool Once
By Sting
April 21, 1999 | Issue 35"15
"You know how, every so often, something you haven't thought about in the longest time will just sort of pop up out of nowhere, and all of a sudden you're like, "Hey... Wait a minute"? Well, that happened to me last week, when it occurred to me that I actually used to sort of be cool once."
