I've come to think there is no album more perfect and brilliant all the way through.

Glamour Profession might be the most underrated Dan song
I'm gonna join sw00ds and Vic Perry's podcast next week during which they'll interrogate me about sharing your feelings.

I have been trying to burn out on this album by playing it nonstop for a week, but it's not working

Is "Gaucho" the song a thinly-veiled letter from Donald to Walter about the latter's junk habit?

I only just got the little "joke" in the bridge of Gaucho (it sounds like a mariachi band)

There are some drum phrases in this song that are so good that they're like a second set of lyrics

That wanker Mark Knopfler plays on “time out of mind”

this was the first proper Dan album i bought on vinyl, and it has always, always gotten more play than their other records. i *adore* the title track particularly because it is so mean and brutal and pressed up against this shiny veneer. brilliant shit.

Anyway the drums own that track anyway

how many songs mention cherry wine besides "time out of mind" & "we don't have to take our clothes off (to have a good time)"?

i guess "babylon sisters" mentions kirschwasser...

I think Knopfler's part is that pretty simple part that comes in later on in the song, I remember reading about how they had him play for hours and hours and what made it onto the song was maybe a few bars, of a very simple phrase

not sure what version you jabronis are listening to but MKnopfler does all the leads over almost the entire of the version I have:

check the left channel then he hits the phaser on the instrumental chorus then back to the left channel.

This is where I am right now. I have been immersing myself in the world this album builds--its numb depravity and decadence--for the past three days, and I don't think I can stop.
Someone on hipinion said the title track sounds like "a compilation of unusually well-produced local station IDs" which is spot-on and partly why I love that song so much

People who "rag" on Gaucho should be taken away and destroyed.

The title track and "Third World Man" compete for best SD song.

Seeing the Gaucho show in Morristown, NJ tonight. Has anyone seen them yet on this tour? They haven't done a Gaucho night yet, so I'm not sure exactly what to expect from the second set, but I'm crossing my fingers for "Bad Sneakers" and/or "Deacon Blues" which both seem like realistic possibilities...

fun cover, i like how he says "hoops mccain" instead of "hoops mccann," which makes me think he's talking about a black sheep member of that annoying family

We're double-bumping the Gaucho threads tonight.

In retrospect I was foolish to hope for "Deacon Blues." Looks like they only play it in the Aja shows :(
