Return of the computer...and the cat

Just back from five days in Germany and got the computer back from Craig today, nice and new and ready for action. Updates being posted.....see below 17/6-22/6

Here's Craig making Anne and me a lovely cup of coffee each, and one for himself for good measure...thanks Craig...sorry for cutting the top of your head off...

Spent most of today re-loading all the programmes and saved data onto the computer...very boring stuff....

After a pre holiday e-bay flurry, I returned home to parcels containing:-
King Crimson - The 21st Century Guide to King Crimson (4CD)
Grand Funk - All The Girls In The World Beware
Grand Funk - Born to Die (hmm... it appears I have this CD already!!)
Emerson Lake and Palmer - Best of the Bootlegs (2CD)

and the latest issue of The Wire which has a free disc with it of some Australian Noiseniks...so probably won't be listening to that more than the once...

In the evening we drive out to Armadale to pick up Meg the Black cat from Julia, her ex-mum, who's been looking after her while we were away. Julia's dog, Dylan, is very excitable and so proceeds to pish all over us when we arrive....which is nice...

We sit in the garden for a short while drinking red wine, before the midges drive us back inside.

Good to have Meg back...and the computer

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!
