On Friday Mark Knopfler's Privateering Set For Release In The U.S. was a top story. Here is the recap: (Gibson) Universal Music Group has announced a worldwide deal with guitarist and songwriter Mark Knopfler. Knopfler's album Privateering, will be released in the Unites States on UMG's Verve Records on September 10.
Max Hole, Chairman and CEO UMG International commented: "Mark has long been one of the most innovative and successful artists in music and we're thrilled he's decided to sign to Verve so that we are now working with him everywhere across the world."
The album is Knopfler's first double album of new music in his long recording career. Knopfler said, "I chose to make a double album this time just because of the sheer volume of material. I didn't want to separate songs into genres and I didn't want to leave too many songs on the shelf.
"I just wanted it to be a reflection of the fantastic sessions we had. With a great bunch of players, it's the same as a great group of actors reading a script from the page, the thing can come alive in ways it just never has before. This is the band I have been working towards my whole life."

Dear Masha and Nadia,
As the one-year anniversary of your trial approaches, I’m writing to assure you that, around the world, people are both still thinking of you and working for your release. Although you were the most visible of the protesters, we know also that there were many other young people who have suffered in the protests,about whom we are also very concerned. But, in many ways, through your imprisonment, you have come to represent them.
Many artists voiced their concern when these ... charges were first brought against you, we had every hope that the authorities, in dealing with you, would show some understanding, a sense of proportion, even some of the wonderful Russian sense of humour, but none of the above were forthcoming.The impact of your shockingly unjust trial and imprisonment has spread far and wide. Especially among your fellow artists, musicians and citizens around the world, including the many parents who feel your anguish at being separated from your children. While understanding the sensitivities of protesting in a place of worship, we ask that the Russian authorities review these harsh sentences, so that you may return to your children, your families and your lives.
The right to freedom of expression and dissent is a legitimate one and essential in any kind of democracy. You have been accused of what could be described as 'a victimless' crime, but in our opinion, in a just society, there can be no crime where there is no identifiable 'victim'.
Your strength, bravery and fearlessness are an inspiration to us all.
Yours in solidarity,
Mark Knopfler
