Posted on by musiczoneadmin

Hi folks

Hope all is well…welcome to the summer (ha)….summertime also and the releases get iffy.

Going to Dublin Sunday to shout on the blood and bandage…can they win?

Bookies have Cork at 3 to 1 while Limerick are 3 to 1 on….bookies are seldom wrong

 But absolutely they can win, but mentally they  have to match Limerick, Croke park is their  hunting ground, hardly lost a match there ….8 big wins in a row up there for the Limerick juggernaut….Cork, bar the win against Kilkenny in 2021, have hardly won a match there in the last 10/15 years….it was once our playground!! So Cork have to want it more than Limerick , win the vital match ups, O’Donoughue/Gillane, Downey /Flanagan, Dalton/Hayes and run like Forrest Gump for the whole afternoon…those things will  give Cork a chance, but must be 100% mentally ready for it!

Anyways, I do like the auld hurling folks but onto the music.

Releases in the shop for this Friday the 5th July…

 ( on a personal note, really can’t wait to spend  sometime with the new A LAZARUS SOUL record )

Heres a taste…

In the sales notes I received , Bill said some interesting things, here’s a refreshing and important piece of it, from reading that I know the man has soul, knew it anyway.

 “These songs were recorded in Chicago, America’s heart. And at one of the best clubs in the country – I try to only work with venues that are not entangled with LiveNation / Ticketmaster.”

Going to hand ye over to Shane now as he takes ye down the road as usual….few bits i think.

Hey Ray, cheers. Hello everyone, hope ye’re well. I have recovered. Had the covid last week in the end. Wrecked tired for a couple days.
Exciting about the Hurling alright, Ray. I’m going to try watch it. Tough match.

Some blue skies outside today for once, how bad.

So what’s coming out down the road?
First up is a nice one, a band I like a lot, SMASHING PUMPKINS – Rotten Apples: Greatest Hits is getting the double LP vinyl treatment, and it’s actually the first time it’s officially out on vinyl. All the big hitter tracks are on it.
They played Dublin the other week. Weezer were supporting too. Would have liked to have gone but didn’t make it.
Be class if that event center got done here in Cork before we all die.
Anyway, the compilation is coming out on August 9th.

There’s a 40th Anniversary Limited Deluxe edition of ULTRAVOX – Lament coming soonish too. The start of September.
It’ll be across three different formats: 7 CD/1 DVD Box set, Clear vinyl 5 LP set or a 2 LP version with an etching on one side.

Indie songwriter CASS McCOMBS is reissuing his first 3 releases via 4 AD also on September 6th. His debut EP – Not that Way, debut album, A, and dara album, PREfection.
Here’s a track from A in case you haven’t heard before or want to revisit: When the Bible Was Wrote

And here’s a list of what else is coming. Some nice Jazz reissues. I know some shop regulars are collecting these:


That’s the lot for this week, I think.
Here’s Adam’s latest video from the shop, fresh back from Patti Smith:

Back to you Ray. Good words from Bill Callahan. Ticketmaster are fairly scummy.
Noelle missed out on the Taylor Swift gig but it seemed like loads of radio stations and businesses had tickets. Also half of the tickets repackaged as VIP Special tickets but all they were were normal tickets with a box of a few photo cards and a poster and a pen added for 400 euro.
Anyway, she went to Green Day last Thursday and she ended up delighted with that.
Their latest album is excellent by the way.

Cheers, Ray, enjoy the match, slán.

 

Thanks a mil Shane!

Right folks, last thing before i leg it….it is regards the newsletter….our problem from 12 or so months ago has raised its head again….begs a few questions in this modern world….we are getting over a 1000 subscribers a month to our newsletter the last few months ( we are in our liathroidi, i wish we were but we are in our hoop, that’s why it begs the question, who does  the extra subscribers benefit?) so the bill for sending out the newsletter has gone from 110 euro a month to 220 euro a month with Mailchimp…now who is sending all the bots i wonder??…anyway, the remedy , is this, if you dont open the newsletter, then you could face the axe, so if you want to keep getting it, then open it!! Volaa! Those who haven’t opened it for the last 8 weeks or so  will face the chop…eliminating mainly bots we hope….if you notice you have stopped getting the newsletter over the next few weeks then please get in touch…..we  won’t be doing cuts till end of July so will remind you about it… but open it if you want to keep it folks!!

 

Right sin e for this week party people

Hon the rebels

Thanks for listening

Ray, Shane, young Adam and Mia
