Spooks bus and Susan....

Using Public Transport, when you have a perfectly good car for which you're paying quite a bit of dosh, is very annoying when you can't get a seat....

I just wanted to say that. Very annoying...

I suppose though, that not being able to get a seat when Public Transport is your only option, may very well be even more annoying..

Anyway, here are some views out of a bus window - by the time these were taken, I was nearing the terminus and so I finally had a seat...

I took all 26 pictures available in the memory of my camera as we approached the terminus. Here are some pictures of the inside of the bus...

..and here's a collage of the photos which turned out a bit blurred - this is my favourite of the three collages...

Hurrah! Two episodes of "Spooks" tonight - the wonders of Freeview and BBC3....

According to Anne, by watching next week's episode on BBC3 a week early, rather than waiting on BBC1's showing next Thursday, I am apparently avoiding a potential three-way clash...so that's a good enough reason as any...

Another purchase on e-bay today...

ELO's third album "On The Third Day" which includes a great track I've not heard for years, "Oh No Not Susan", which was the B Side of a minor hit from 1974 called "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" (no relation to the Cathy Dennis-penned Kylie hit of a couple of years back which was, I think, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head")...

It's a dodgy Russian issue which comes with the album "Discovery" in a 2 on 1 CD...

Looking forward to that....

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: "Oh No Not Susan" was the "B" side of "Ma Ma MA Belle" in March 1974 not "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" from June 1974 - its "B" side was "Illusions in G Major".

Sorry about that...; 2:12 pm

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!
