  1. 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.)

  2. "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.

  7. I've loved Mark Knopfler since that late 70s night when a friend & I were mesmerized by a song we heard on his car radio: it was "Sultans of Swing" (Dire Straits)!

    Nothing tops that first mind-blowing experience, but only it makes me doubt that "Why Aye Man" is Knopfler's best song.

    It's the most elegant critique of Thatcherism I've heard, & beautiful to boot!

  13. "Sultans of Swing" is a song by the British #rock band #DireStraits, written by the lead vocalist and guitarist #MarkKnopfler. Dire Straits recorded a #demo at #PathwayStudios, #NorthLondon, in July 1977, and it acquired a following after it was put in #rotation on #BBCRadioLondon. After Dire Straits signed a record contract with #PhonogramRecords, they rerecorded it in February 1978 at #BasingStreetStudios for their debut album, Dire Straits. The B-side.

    So hear me out, because

    When I was 12yo, I didn't listen to

    Heart-Shaped Box
    song.link/at/i/1440859107

    because I preferred Blümchen over Nirvana. I was madly in love with her, you could say

    I know, I know, I guess your

    Heart Skipped a Beat

    now, but in the end, all that matters is that it comes from a

  17. Brothers in Arms - one of my fave #AntiWar songs from #DireStraits.

    It's about bonds between soldiers on both sides of trenches during the #FalklandsWar.
    #MarkKnopfler wrote the song in 1982, when the war happened. Falklands War was a conflict between #Argentina & #UnitedKingdom over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claims rights to.

    A new version of the song was released in 2007 by Knopfler in order to raise money to bring #veterans of the war back to the #Falklands as a way to treat their #PTSD.

    Knopfler is one of my fave top 5 guitarists of all time 🎵🎸🎶 He is a brilliant songwriter too.

  18. Lors de la première écoute du best of Dire Straits, j'ai pu entendre le morceau 🎶 "Going Home (Theme of The Local Hero)" (1983), que j'avais l'impression de connaître depuis des lustres, alors que je le découvrais vraisemblablement...
    J'ai fini par retrouver d'où je le connaissais : une compile, des parents, de thèmes de films interprétés par le grand Gheorghe Zamfir ♥

  20. If you're a #MarkKnopfler or #DireStraits fan, and like #multichannel #surround #DolbyAtmos music on #BluRay Audio, here's your chance to have his new album... Posting this because at 2000 units it's going to sell out quickly and there's always somebody who wouldn't hear about it otherwise.
