Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1985) [2006 Vinyl Rip - Half Speed Master]
Money For Nothing from the 2006 remaster of Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms, released across 4 sides of vinyl.
"Money for Nothing" is a song by British rock band Dire Straits, being the second track on their fifth studio album, Brothers in Arms (1985). It was released as the album's second single on 28 June 1985 through Vertigo Records. The song's lyrics are written from the point of view of two working-class men watching music videos and commenting on what they see. The song features a guest appearance by Sting who sings the signature falsetto introduction, background vocals and a backing chorus of "I want my MTV". The groundbreaking video was the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network launched on 1 August 1987.
It was Dire Straits' most commercially successful single, peaking at number 1 for three weeks on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and Top Rock Tracks chart and number 4 in the band's native UK. In July 1985, the month following its release, Dire Straits and Sting performed the song at Live Aid. At the 28th Annual Grammy Awards in 1986, "Money for Nothing" won Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year as well. At the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, the music video received 11 nominations, winning Video of the Year and Best Group Video.

What links Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler and a priceless Celtic cauldron recently discovered at the bottom of a lake in Bavaria? In this film an investigation uncovers allegations of mafia involvement, an international fraud trial where millions of dollars are at stake and a forensic discovery that stuns the archaeological world and steers the mystery towards Himmler's SS shrine at Wewelsburg and Hitler's obsessive quest for the Holy Grail.

GRAVE

Sixty-five million years ago, a giant meteor hit the earth causing a global catastrophe that destroyed an estimated three quarters of the plants and animal species on the planet, including the mighty dinosaurs. Little was known about the survivors who lived in this post-apocalyptic world until a mining operation in Cerrejon, Northern Colombia — excavating coal cut from deep within the earth’s crust — exposed an important layer in the earth’s geological history laid down more than 10 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs. In 2003, when paleontologist professor Jonathan Bloch, University of Florida, first heard that this important layer had been exposed, he and his research team rushed to Columbia. He had spent his career studying this Paleocene period in the earth’s geological history. Could this be the lost world he’d been searching for?

B-17
HC.Battle.Stations.B-17.Flying.Fortress.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org
It is one of the most successful and important planes in history. Taking on the worst that the Luftwaffe had to offer, the Flying Fortresses of the 8th Air Force flew daylight bombing missions over the most heavily defended cities in Europe. Each crewed by 10 men - thousands of them would fly the most perilous missions of the Second World War. But many would never return. Though they suffered unprecedented losses, the young American airmen of the 'Mighty Eighth' turned the tide of the war. With never-before-seen home movie footage of B-17s returning to their British bases and the white-knuckle recollections of pilots and bombardiers, BATTLE STATIONS chronicles the development and operational history of America's first four-engined bomber, flying high over wartime Berlin on the raids that eventually crippled the Nazi regime.

FORGO
Forgotten-Titan---The-Sinking-of-Britannic
In November 1916 the hospital ship Britannic was steaming off the island of Kea, Greece when there was a sudden explosion. The ship had stumbled straight into a mine laid by a German U-Boat and what followed was a frantic fight for survival. This is the full story of the third Olympic Class liner - often overlooked but still a very worthy vessel that, if she had survived the war, would have become the White Star Line's golden child and one of the finest ships in history.

MERRI
Hare-We-Go-(1951)
+++ Bonus extra weekday upload in hopes someone will boost this classic with lbry credits - Alex +++
Hare We Go is a 1951 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Robert McKimson. The short was released on January 6, 1951, and features Bugs Bunny.
Notes:
The working title was "Lucky Rabbit's Feat".
The portrayal of Christopher Columbus is a caricature of Fredric March's portrayal of him in the 1949 feature film Christopher Columbus.
Censorship:
ABC airings cut the scene where King Ferdinand II of Spain hits Christopher Columbus on the head with a mallet and says, "She's flat like your head," during their debate on the shape of the world, making it look like Columbus was immediately thrown out.
