Bounced out of Croke Park sunday, twas magic from a Cork point of view, they brought the fire and brimstone that was required to defeat a serious serious team, twas magic, savage atmosphere, when Collins made the save from Hegarty and Joyce got the hurley  in to block Gillane , on his knees got the sliotar in hand and got it to one of the downeys who got it to Deccie Dalton 80 yards from the limerick goal , who pinged it over the bar, the roar was bigger than a goal…magic. Anyways , delighted as you can tell!

Cheers, Ray! Hello everyone!
Jeez, the match was brilliant wasn’t it? I don’t watch much hurling but twas a brilliant match. Cork were exceptional and Limerick missed a few. I was hanging onto the edge of the couch in the last five or six minutes.
Must be even better watching live in a stadium. Hope they can get the win in the final.
I remember the Cork hurlers visiting my Primary School. And that was one of the last times they won it.
The Euros tonight as well. Come on the Netherlands!!

First one to mention from me is a MASSIVE Bob Dylan & The Band Live CD Box Set, ‘1974 Live Recordings’. 27 CDs in it and just over 100 euro. Nice.
Here’s a bit about it:

“Bob Dylan’s 1974 Tour marked his first time touring live in eight years and reunited him with The Band – who had become widely renowned in their own right since backing the artist nearly a decade earlier. Booked into arenas for the first time ever, Bob Dylan and The Band performed 30 dates in 42 days (often playing two sets per day) before an average audience of 18,500 – helping set a new standard for what rock concerts could look and sound like. And in front of those crowds, they brought an energy that Rolling Stone’s Ben Fong-Torres described as “searing and soaring, unified and precise…excellent in itself.” Music critic Robert Christgau compared the sound to Bob Dylan “running over his old songs like a truck.”

Tour ‘74 kicked off January 3, 1974, at Chicago Stadium – the largest indoor arena in the world at the time it was built – with a tense and combative rip through ultimate deep-cut “Hero Blues,” an acoustic-gone-electric outtake from The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan sessions, that he had scarcely performed before – or since. Additional rarities – like a wildly-reinvented “Ballad Of Hollis Brown,” “Song to Woody” (not performed since 1962) and Planet Waves outtake “Nobody ‘Cept You” – would be well received in the tour’s first nights. “We were booed off of every stage in Europe,” The Band’s Robbie Robertson recalled to Newsweek of their previous run together. “What happened tonight in Chicago is so reassuring for us.”

LAURA MARLING has a brand new album coming. Sounds cool. Written after the birth of her daughter and is stripped back/mainly acoustic. ‘Patterns in Repeat’ it’s called. CD, black vinyl or limited cream vinyl, and it will be out at the end of October.
Here’s a lovely track from it: Patterns

There’s a nice 20th Anniversary Edition of Mark Lanegan’s classic album ‘Bubblegum’ coming out on 3 CD, black vinyl, Limited Red Vinyl and a limited 4 LP box set with a Hardcover Book.
Out August 23rd. Lots of extras included.

And FLOATING POINTS has a new album coming on September 13th. ‘Cascade’. His last release with Pharoah Sanders was class. On CD, LP and indies coloured LP.
Here’s new track ‘KEY 103’

Here’s the rest. We were short a Mia today so we didn’t get eveything up on the site. Will try get the leftover up next week.:

Nice out there today. Be sweet if we could get like a solid week of it.
Here’s Adam and d’video before I go:

Will see some of you this week yet I say…right ( ye know i love ye right, but it does feel good knowing i don’t have to write a newsletter for a couple of weeks!! I will have some mojo back when i return id say)

I kind of floated the words into the air the other night at home wondering about flights from Spain to Dublin on the morning of the 21st ( no ticket nor smell of one mind you) …no words floated back though….a bit of a look though, looks can say a thousand words, god loves a tryer my mam used say, hates a chancer though…not sure where i fell there.

Anyway, Slan

Sin e for this week folks

The boys will entertain and cajole ye next week…open the newsletter if you still want to get it….but if you are reading this so pointless exercise then

Right Slan now

Ray, Shane, young Adam and Mia
