Telegraph Road," is the opening track of "Love Over Gold." In a little over 14 minutes, the song rises from a simple opening melody, evoking the loneliness of that man walking along a deserted track at the beginning of the song's story, to a final guitar solo. In between, there are no less than two other guitar solos, each of them over a minute long; dramatic centerpieces in their own right in ...

Released in September 1991, Dire Straits' sixth and final studio album was not nearly as successful as their previous album, Brothers in Arms, and has sold over 8 million copies worldwide: in Europe, the album sold 6 million copies and in the USA, one million copies. Reviews for On Every Street upon its release were mixed. The album features American drummer Jeff Porcaro from Toto (the group's ...

I recently had my cable company do a little upgrading to my service. One of the big improvements that they promised was the fact that I would have four different MTV stations. I laughed when I read that it would be an improvement, but I thought I would wait and see what MTV had to offer. So, here it is the day of the change and I get MTV, MTV 2, MTV 3, and MTV Latino. I have gone through the st...

The six year latter follow up to Brothers in Arms.From AmazonOn Every Street is an amazing album, if only for its apparent refusal to exploit the success of its predecessor. Sure, radio programmers could hear echoes of "Money for Nothing" in "Heavy Fuel," or traces of "Walk of Life" in "The Bug," but Mark Knopfler wouldn't have waited six years to follow up the band's megaplatinum Brothers in A...

It seems MTV plans to take back the planets young from places such as Myspace and Youtube by starting a whole host of websites designed to restore the 'youth culture' tag once worn by the network. It's planned websites will allow its users to watch, contribute and even re-edit MTV programs amongst other things. MTV Networks who own MTV will work with Viacom, but critics believe this could lead ...

I haven't had any time to dig MOG's new features because the re-launch of my favorite site coincided with the crunch time for a very important event taking place today in Raleigh, NC: Mothers Against Drunk Driving's Second Annual Strides for Change 5K fundraising walk, sponsored by my law firm. Not to get too heavy on everybody, but if you stopped by my MOG today, I'd like to drop a few facts o...

often times i find myself at work and listening to music in the back of the house. i work in a pizza joint where we listen to a stereo in the back while the muzak plays in the front. many times i joke about the music in the dining room and often i accuse the people who are our customers of having terrible taste in music (even though i know they have no control over what plays, its a joke of min...

Do these posts annoy you? Should I even bother?Well, I'm going to this time because I remembered a really good one AND I found it on YouTube! Whoopee! This is timely, too because I just got done reading chucky's post about her political beliefs and how they relate to music so what better to post than a political clip! Well, it kinda is. The West Wing is an amazing show. It's a phenomenal show. ...

And so, On XM Fine Tuning, which plays classical stuff alongside progressive rock, alongside the Duhks, I hear the song, "Telegraph Road." [This song is one of my favorite Dire Straits tunes for a few reasons. I'm a sucker for a slow tune that builds into a rocking tune by the end. It clocks in at 15 minutes without an outrageous drum solo. Hell, they must be talking about something dramatic, r...

...does not mean that I like "Brothers In Arms" by Dire Straits any more. If I had to choose a Dire Straits song that I loved the most it would be, without question, "Down to the Waterline".This song was on the first track on the self titled Dire Straits album that I heard in my youth, in the late hours, on our stereo the day my step-dad bought the brand new LP and brought it home.That song is...

Great version of Romeo & Juliet. Dire Straits is one of those bands where I had heard a lot of their songs here and there but never put together who sang them. Now I'm realizing how many of their songs I already know and love. "Video mashup":http://www.searchles.com/channels/show/4151 of a bunch of live performances below.

lately i've been waking up real early to the sounds of elephants upstairs (AKA my neighbor and her son whose basement I live in). so i look around my dark living room, roll off my milk crate bed l, pad into the kitchen, press the coffee button, and pick up a mix that 'someone' put together for me this summer. when i start to stop leaving the house, and roll around this place in a bathrobe, it'...
