Crispycat Recordings: Here's new pretties for you...

Here's new pretties for you...

Although it was at the forefront of my mind today, I resisted the urge to do anything more on the new CD. I’ll return to it next week, hopefully in a fresher frame of mind.

In the meantime, the first rehearsals for the Fringe shows should be happening next Tuesday.

Tonight I split my time between listening to Alice Cooper (“Pretties For You” and “Dirty Diamonds”); surfing the net reading Alice Cooper articles, interviews and reviews of his current tour (I have tickets for his November show in Glasgow); transferring even more albums onto the Jukebox and; watching the new comedy strand on BBC2, “Extras”, “The Catherine Tate Show” and “Absolute Power”.

I preferred the last, with its rather cynical viewpoint. “Extras” was a slow starter, like "The Office" but had a couple of good laughs towards the end, while Ms Tate was a wee bit hit and miss (on this showing, I prefer Karen Dunbar)...

This is your comedy expert, signing off...

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!
