Dire Straits

You're welcome, Julie.

I liked that interview, and I agree with you, he comes over as a great person.

Amazon has let me know that my copy of K2GC (Kill To Get Crimson) is on its way so I've got something to think about before LROOE.

On MK's tour of Europe next year he is playing Sofia, Bulgaria! This made someone from the MK forum who lives there very happy, as you can imagine.

This might be interesting for you, FP. Tomorrow on 9 pm our local radio station will air a special concert which was recorded this year on September 10 in Berlin. You can listen to it online. If I don' forget I will record it.

I knew about that Berlin show. Sad to say I'm disappointed with the new album.

[EasyFeeling]

Oooh... sorry FP.

Welcome back Marco!

I've seen that many times. Great performance.

I am reviving this ancient topic because I just got the shock of my life.

I was on Amazon and noted that John Fogerty's new album (which features Don and Tim doing backup vocals on Garden Party) is released this week. So I can order that.

Then something else appeared when I clicked 'new releases'.

Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky. It's new. I had no idea. This is the track listing:

1. Border Reiver 2. Hard Shoulder 3. You Can't Beat The House 4. Before Gas & TV 5. Monteleone 6. Cleaning My Gun 7. The Car Was The One 8. Remembrance Day 9. Get Lucky 10. So Far From The Clyde

I just feel embarrassed that I didn't know. I wasn't that impressed with the last album Kill To Get Crimson. Let's see!

I bet a lot of people don't know when their favorite classic acts make new albums. It's a shame! Hope you like this one.

The thing is I should have remembered that MK dutifully puts out an album every two years, unlike some people I can think of. It didn't occur to me that it had been two years since K2GC. I also hope there might be a tour in the offing because he hasn't been down here since the release of Shangri-La back in 2005.

I suppose he is a 'classic act' in that his solo career hasn't been as massive as Dire Straits but he's always been busy.
