It's always great news when John Cale releases new music. Cale has been one of my favorite artists for a half century now, and though his last record "Mercy" received mostly glowing reviews, I found it a bit too dense and demanding. But if the new single, as well as the title of his forthcoming album "Poptical Illusion" is any indication, come June, we may have a Cale classic.
If that wasn't enough to brighten what has been a pretty dark March over in my neck of the woods, there is a new interview with Jason Falkner in Guitar World. It's mostly gear-related, so you guitarists might get all hot and twitchy. I managed to stay awake until the last paragraph, and was thankfully rewarded with the news (I'll believe it when I see it) that there will be a new Jason Falkner album and tour this year.

Great song, great video!

John's (multi-traced) voice sounds wonderful on this new song. It has a bit of the feel of songs like Cordoba on Wrong Way Up. Definitely more accessible than Mercy.
SOTD The Yard Man and today's cover are tasty, too.

That new Cale sounds splendid. Now I have another new album to look forward to,
I'm with you on Mercy--it's a little tough to get through in one sitting. Love the sound of this new track.
