Crispycat Recordings: Sucked in by Marketing and Television....

Sucked in by Marketing and Television....

Yet another marketing campaign by HMV draws me in. I buy Medeski, Martin & Wood’s latest CD, “End Of The World Party” for £4.99 and it makes it straight into my top ten for May so far. It’s on Blue Note but it’s not really jazz – but it’s a cracker of an album, funky mixed up sounds, great drumming and superb production. A very talented trio.

I was planing to rebuild the studio tonight in preparation for what should be a week of playing and recording, initially concentrating on Ian Sclater’s songs and then seeing if I can’t finally make some sort of start to the new CBQ album. “Anotherhappyday” was released in September 2003 so I want to get the new album out before two years have passed!! But.....

I run through the three songs for Thursday again and then, unfortunately, TV sucks me in and I end up watching:-

Junior Mastermind
University Challenge - TV Team vs Radio Team
2 Episodes of Coronation Street
New Tricks
The Alan Hansen Documentary on what footballers do when their footballing careers are over

I'll definitely get back to the studio tomorrow

Good news on the Jukebox front as Creative agree to replace my machine (for a second time). Luckily I have all my tracks backed up on the computer hard-drive, but, if it’s anything like last time, it’ll be around three weeks before the new machine arrives.

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
