Hi everyone, hope yere well.
The Despicable Two on newsletter duties today. As Adam mentioned the yacht is getting a run but I also believe Ray is attending a conference on Spinnakers.

I’m still dying a bit, chest infection and on antibiotics, so thankfully not a huge amount of down the roads to mention today. But there is a new JOHN CALE album coming. His second in a year or so. Last one was good if a bit weird from what I remember.
This one is called POPtical Illusion and will be available on CD, black LP or Orange coloured LP. Release date is June 14th.
Here’s a bit about it, and a tune at the end:

“Despite the album’s playful title, Cale’s second album in just over a year still contains the same feelings of fierce and inquisitive rage that were present in 2023 album MERCY. He remains angry, still incensed by the willful destruction that unchecked capitalists and unrepentant conmen have hoisted upon the wonders of this world and the goodness of its people. But this is not at all MERCY II, or some collection of castoffs, as throughout his career of more than six decades, Cale has never been much for repetition. His vanguard-shaping enthusiasms have shifted among ecstatic classicism and unbound rock, classic songcraft and electronic reimagination with proud restlessness.
And so, on POPtical Illusion, he foregoes the illustrious cast to burrow mostly alone into mazes of synthesizers and samples, organs and pianos, with words that, as far as Cale goes, constitute a sort of swirling hope, a sage insistence that change is yet possible. Produced by Cale and longtime artistic partner Nita Scott, POPtical Illusion is the work of someone trying to turn toward the future – exactly as Cale always has.”

Beyoncé’s new album ‘Cowboy Carter’ is out next week! And we have the products up now on the site.
Here they are: https://musiczone.ie/?s=Beyonc%C3%A9+-+Cowboy+Carter%27

There’s a nice black and white splatter vinyl reissue of Death Cult (The Cult) – Paradise Now coming out on May 17th. It’s a 40th Anniversary of the band compilation, I believe.

And here’s what else is on the way down the line:

That’s all, really. Before I go, just a reminder that A Lazarus Soul’s new single from their upcoming album, The Flower I Flung Into Her Grave, will be out this Friday! Worth keeping an eye on their YouTube for it: https://www.youtube.com/@alazarussoul

Thanks as always for listening,
Big live music announcement next week.
Slán,

Shane and young Adam.
