Add "filmmaker" to drummer Stewart Copeland's list of credits. His documentary, "Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out," will debut Jan. 22 at the Sundance Film Festival. The 74-minute film is culled from Super 8 movies Stewart shot from the band's early days in the mid-'70s through the early '80s.
- Nice read in Billboard about Stewart Copeland's Sundance entry of a documentary about his 1970s/1980s band The Police, for eventual DVD release.

Billboard's fab excellent Jonathan Cohen also covers Epic/Legacy's reissues of two Cheap Trick CDs, with bonus live tracks and more.

Big Takeover's music maestro Jack Rabid has posted 2/3 (40 of 60) of his top music releases of 2005. I'll try to check out his #21 pick Once for Kicks - they're playing Feb 28th with Robert Pollard in Seattle - sounds right up my rock n roll alley.

Feed into the Arctic Monkeys' soon-to-be 2006 dominance - watch the band's two videos - When the Sun Goes Down and I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor - at their Domino Records site. "They said he changes when the sun goes down!"
