  1. The sky is crying the streets are full of tears, rain come down wash away my fears and all this writing on the wall -- I can read between the lines. Rain come down, forgive this dirty town; rain come down and give this dirty town a drink of water, a drink of wine.
    -- Hand in Hand, by Dire Straits

  8. "Private Dancer" is a song written by British musician #MarkKnopfler and recorded by singer #TinaTurner, first released in October 1984. The song was intended to be for Knopfler’s band #DireStraits, but was never fully recorded or released by the band. He ended up giving the song to Turner, with her recording being produced by #JohnCarter for her fifth solo album of the same name and released as the album's fifth single. In a fresh recording session.

  10. Latest Op Shop acquisition: CD of the soundtrack to Local Hero, music by Mark Knopfler. I had this on vinyl last century, it's a lovely peaceful listen. Great to get it back in digital form.

  25. Probably the last one before the footy. For some reason, and let’s be honest, we never know the reasons, this has been playing on my mind all evening. I will now close my eyes and enjoy until kick off. #vinyl #DireStraits #MarkKnopfler #NowPlaying

    #direstraits #classicrock #markknopfler #70srock #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rock #rockmusic The debut album hit like a ... shiver in the dark ... June 9, 1978 in the UK ... October '78 in the USA. It arrived at the height of punk and disco but it broke through heartily with its stripped-back rock sound and Mark Knopfler's signature fingerpicking style.

  29. Bill Forsyth – „Local Hero“ (1983)

    Ein Film aus einer anderen Zeit. Ein Märchen. Über einen Oligarchen, dem es noch genügt hat, die Sterne nur zu beobachten – statt Raketen zum Mars zu schicken. In Schottland. Vielleicht der schönste Film, den Sie dieses Jahr gesehen haben werden. Mit Sicherheit ein lebenslänglicher Lieblingsfilm. (ARD, Wh.)
