I had to think for a second who you meant at the start Ray. Cillian of course!
Great stuff alright! A great talent. We have a few Irish Oscar winners now.
Some country for our size.
Before I get to the pre-order stuff. Here’s Adam’s latest Instagram video doing the roundup of what’s new in the siopa:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4DnhUzNFCm/?igsh=cXdkbG1jNWN0NDU0
Sorry I didn’t it include in the last couple of weeks, was up the walls a bit and didn’t get the chance.
Not a huge amount to mention this week but I suppose the biggest metal band around are worth a mention.
METALLICA are back with another run of their albums reissued on coloured vinyl.
An album I listened to alot as a teenager, ‘Garage, Inc.’ is first on the list. It’s getting a 3 LP ‘fade to blue’ coloured pressing. Could be a first timer on vinyl that actually, I’m not sure.
They cover loads of rock bands who influenced them including songs from Black Sabbath, The Misfits and Budgie.
That’s out on April 5th.
If you like your snare drums to sound like a saucepan being hit by a metal pipe, ‘St. Anger’ is coming out on orange coloured vinyl at the end of April.
And those will be followed by ‘Death Magnetic’ in June and ‘Hardwired to Self Destruct’ in July.
No sign of ‘Load’/’Reload’ yet.
T BONE BURNETT has a brand new album coming on April 19th called ‘The Other Side’.
Here’s a bit about it and a track:
‘Grammy and Oscar award winning producer, musician and songwriter T Bone Burnett is back to form with a folk album of 12 tracks featuring artists Lucius, Roseanne Cash and Weyes Blood.
“With this record, I tried to treat myself as kindly as I would try to treat other people,” says Burnett, who likens his producing approach to that of a photographer. “I try to find the person’s best angle and light them so they look the most like themselves or the best version of themselves. And this time, rather than staying in the romantic notion I previously had of myself—of a rebellious artist, a firebrand or whatever I thought I was trying to be—I just tried to be kind to myself.” Ultimately, in looking for “you,” T Bone Burnett found himself on The Other Side.’

And back to metal, ROB ZOMBIE‘s most recent album ‘Lunar Injection Kool Aid Conspiracy‘ is getting a splatter coloured reissue through Nuclear Blast on May 10th.
Here’s a list of a few other ones that are coming down the line:
- NOAH KAHAN – Stick Season: We’ll All Be Here – deluxe edition black or ‘bone’ coloured Vinyl – 12/4/24
- GLORIA COLEMAN feat. Pola Roberts – Soul Sisters – Impulse! vinyl reissue – 25/4/24
- CHICO HAMILTON – The Dealer (feat. Larry Coryell’s recording debut) – Impulse! vinyl reissue – 25/4/24
- DONALD BYRD – Byrd’s Eye View – Tone Poet vinyl reissue – 3/5/24
- BOBBY HUTCHERSON – Total Eclipse – Blue Note Tone Poet Vinyl reissue – 3/5/24
- VARIOUS ARTISTS – Best of Rare Mod – Vinyl compilation – 17/5/24
That’s my lot, as far as I can see.
Bain taitneamh as an deireadh seachtaine! Slán.
