Cool (new) music...new to me

Been listening to Dire Straits lately...John gave me a Rolling Stone that he had with an article on Mark Knopfler. I had always seen the Mark Knopfler strat on the fender website, but had no idea who he was. I really like his guitar style...at least what I have heard, really clean and snappy. The sound is so easily identifiable that I was in Subway yesterday and I heard a song of his I had never heard...turns out it was titled "Lady Writer" off the Communiqu'e album. Anyway check it out if you would like.

Also the Avett Bros. are kick ass. I liken it to a blue grass version of Weezer but with slightly better voices. I want to go see them in Ithaca in November. You should check out their album "Emotionalism" good stuff.
