New for 2022

Me too

I don't want a double album. Cherry pick the 10-12 best songs, and make it a killer 50-minute album.

And add a bonus cd for a special edition with the rest

He-he. I know what you did there.


How about a toy guitar as a bonus?!

And the rest is mostly the best.

Lately, at least for me, most of the bonus are even better than some of the songs in the record!

So please, release whatever in the main cd, but fill another with bonus tracks!

Was just thinking this.  Ever since Ed left the song choice for the albums has been nothing short of abysmal considering the number written for each album and the gems (usually) released as bonus tracks.  What is it Mark and Guy do when they sit at BG discussing the songs?  Do they pick the names out of a hat or let the tea lady choose before the pub closes?

Perhaps it isn't tea...

Mark has chosen to go from high to a low profile artist whereas Ed was an high profile man.

My opinion is these two couldn't keep going together.

We get what Mark decides, even the record company seem to have lost any artistic input, they are just there to distribute what Mark is sending to them.

Mark has gotten what he wanted : commercial success with DS, freedom as a solo artist.

These words perfectly describe the whole history of MK.

I get the impression nobody tells MK what to do. Hence the rrhof debacle. Fair play to him though, why should he do what he’s told.

Exactly! And we fans are gladly part of this history.

What are your thoughts on that "week of recording"?

From Mark Knopfler News:

"Mark has written a number of new songs he wants to work on in the studio. As a result, the release of his next solo album has been re-schedule to later in 2023."

This was the starting point of my post: "The MKNews "re-schedule" post from Terry points in that direction, but I am struggling with that reason, because"....

For me there is something more behind it (or I wanted to see more behind it)
Maybe I am seeing ghosts and should see a doctor
