The Brain DJ is back, singing songs of yesteryear –

John Cale, "Hey Ray" (2011)

“The song is about [artist] Ray Johnson, but it’s also about other things that happened in 1963 … All of the things that I remember from that period are there, about living on Lispenard Street, and there were riots and all of that."
~ John Cale, May 2012

"We were writing stuff that was very oriented to what the Band were doing, as the musicians on the album shared that same upstate New York country sensibility. We spent time upstate at a farm and rehearsed, recorded those songs and then we broke up." John Cale on his 1970 album Vintage Violence.

John Cale - Hallelujah

Part of live show 1992. Excellent cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" (made famous by Jeff Buckley's cover). Worth checking out even for those who are not a Cale fan.

There was a time, recalls the Brain DJ, when John Cale was gentle with a subtle menace in his music –

John Cale, "The Endless Plain of Fortune" (1973)
