On SHM SACD. ?

I think this is my favorite album of theirs. The first three tracks are just dynamite.

I really like Mark's guitar lines here. His lyrics aren't bad either.

It's far and away their most under-rated.  Everyone knows Brothers in Arms and Sultans of Swing, but this is just superb. 

Just put it on my favourites list on Tidal HiFi - will listen to later.

Useless factoid number 37a: Mark Knopfler bought his first guitar from the shop I worked in on a Saturday aged 16 http://www.jgwindows.com/about-us .

If I were forced to pick a favorite band Dire Straits would be it. My favorite albums are Making Movies and Communique. IMO they never made a bad album. Love Mark's solo/duet stuff too.

Have you heard Neck and Neck with Mark and Chet Atkins? Phenomenal, even if you don't care for Country music.

I have that on CD (well, now ripped to the NAS too). Great album.

x3, I have it on my NAS too....!

Leagues -- Alone Together



Enjoyed muchly!

Yeah, I love Peggy Lee!

 

Rodrigo y Gabriela - fun

For something a little different;

"Food For Thought" from the Library of Congress's Recorded Sound Research Center, the National Press Club Luncheon speeches.

I've just begun to scratch the surface here but these are from the days when a great speech was just about the best entertainment you could ask for and these curated speeches are fantastic.

So, if you're as sick of hearing about the election as I am (already sent in my ballot), give these a listen.

Don't miss the Hitchcock!

Where did you find this?  Filed under "RIYL Faith No More"?  This is epically good.  And this video is Tarntino-esquely sick:

 

I heard about the supergroup a while back and knew I'd buy based on the name alone.

Plus the Alice in chains singer is great.

I like that it's kind of weird in places.

picked some random record out of the huge lump i was given the other day - instantly new favorite record.

Yeah, that record is great!  Anything Grappelli is likely to be great

Dani Joss, Liquid Photography -- one of my favourite albums of electronic music evar.  Dark, sparse, ambient as all, atmospheric as dark matter.  I don't even know how to categorize it -- ambient experimental?

 

Leonard Cohen -- You Want It Darker

In honor of Pitchfork's 50-greatest shoegaze albums list I'm starting with this.

Agnes Obel - Citizen of Glass.  Very nice, definitely similar to Aventine & Philharmonic, but some variations that are quite nice.
