Crispycat Recordings: Another Saturday gone....

Another Saturday gone....

Up at seven and then three hours working on editing the live tapes of CBQ and James Jamieson from the Roxy back in July - got quite a bit done but still not finished...

Then out and up to Bruntsfield to get a bouquet of flowers for Anne's sister, Jane. It's her birthday party tonight round at her house...

To a deli at Cannonmills and we purchase two lovely cakes and some lovely bread and while Anne goes to Tesco for Cat Food and Litter I do the dishes and prepare lunch..

Afterwards it's back to the computer and a frustrating afternoon trying to get the multitracking recording studios working...

Anne gives me updates on the footie while I work, and get more and more annoyed...

Scotland lose 1-0 and so are finally out of the World Cup...

I shut down the machines and take a break...

Then I fire them up again and for some reason, clarity takes me to the gubbins of the system and I sort it within a couple of minutes....

But by now there's no time left to do anything as it's time to go to Jane's party...

Much drinking and a huge chinese meal for the 14 attendees - not counting the kids, Ollie and Kitty, who manage keep Jane and her husband, Bobby, nice and fit by making them run up and down the stairs to investigate the various cries and coughs transmitted to the dining room via some kind of baby-listening walkie-talkie device...

My advice would be to switch it off and leave the kids to it... but then I am not a parent...

Home in a taxi by 1:30..pished

A frustrating day, disappointing football (which I didn't watch), a moment of clarity and an enjoyable evening...

Another Saturday gone....

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!
