Uncut magazine

The firsts interviews are seeing the light of day

Cool, I'll take a look at that when I go out later.

[Fletch]

Cool !!! It's an exciting few months, new albums from MK and Bob..
Hope Mark gets lots of interview space.

Fantastic ! Maybe someone could scan it or write about it here ? That would be great !!! I`m  asking myself why the title is about "Brothers in Arms" and not Privateering...well, we will see.....

I always await Uncut Magazine's reviews with great trepidation - they are more often than not, less than enthusiastic.  

This, prior to Shangri-la!      

Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La



The only consolation in Brothers in Arms' planet-conquering weight was the way it crushed Dire Straits, too, leaving them capable of only one limp follow-up before Knopfler retreated to a low-key solo career. Shangri-La should be more appealing, steeped as it is in pulp narratives and mid-century Americana: Sonny Liston and McDonald's founder Ray Kroc are featured, and "Don't Crash The Ambulance", seemingly set down a Cold War missile silo, gets the hardboiled lingo just right. But mostly it's mannered, played with tepid, mid-paced, life-draining politeness: more James Last than James Ellroy.

Rating: 2 / 10

Maybe they will be more enthusiastic this time!   Here's hoping!

I've just read it. Some old bits (as you can imagine), but there are pieces of info that are quite surprising. Much more personal than usual. Mark even said he's been thinking of putting "Iron Hand" back into the setlist!

Not that I could spot. Only a few references to it.

There's a picture of Mark though, posing in a pub. There's a pint of beer and cool sunglasses on the table, and Mark is wearing a black blazer and a black shirt with three buttons opened. They've tried to create a very cool image, but the shirt is clearly a little tight, so there's a little opening where you see his belly. Classy! Haha!

Strange, I can't quite picture Mark in a blazer!

[superval99]

Thank you very much.   I didn't realise that "Today is OK" is about Sonny Liston.

[qjamesfloyd]

Yes, it was a good read, nice to see Mark getting 4 or 5 pages for a change, instead of a little box. I also didn't see a review of the new album, but I'm so excited to hear it, unlike others I have not hear any of it except Redbud Tree, I don't want to ruin my listening experience on a laptop, when I have

[ingridswing]

I have the snippets in my car (nice JBL-system running there  ) and the sound from the snippets is really ok. Not HD or so, but pretty good.
