Stones Exile —-) live at Hyde Park
Feeling it’s time to see Stones again in 2024
Any thoughts on the new one?
I haven’t listened to it yet….
It’s probably going to be their best since A Bigger Bang!!

feel like Dirty Work (Lillywhite?!) was the last album with any redeeming singles
I feel like their work from 80-86 is not horrible and love when I hear some of that era's stuff
even Still Life is great

Got this box set for $78.25 all in.
Knopfler’s first five solo albums (all 2LPs) plus an LP’s worth of extras.
My issue with Knopfler is his music got increasingly narcoleptic over the years but everything here is tastefully done and well executed and Mark is probably my favorite guitarist after Gilmour and maybe Grant Green.
But at this price one can’t say no.
Finding more and more deals on these box sets. They try to sell them at $200 and when they see it’s not going to sell out they blow them out.
My favorite Knopfler solo album - Sailing to Philadelphia- is only available on vinyl on this set but I expect that will change….it seems like everything is going to be on vinyl.
As always these brief passing thoughts are dedicated to the number one fan of what I am listening to, Julian.

Listening to the just released lost Kirsty MacColl album “Real”. Part of me understands why it got shelved as it’s a departure from her early music. It’s very synth heavy with a sound not unlike what Japan was doing at the time, very Mick Karn influenced bass lines on many tracks. Hearing some Talking Heads influences as well. One track sounds like it could have come off the B-52s Mesopotamia album
All in all an interesting addition to her already wonderful catalog
also here is a youtube playlist of some of what's been formally released today, as some of the tracks were already on the released on a couple compilations
