Hand on mouse makes all the difference...

Jorg went into Edinburgh on his own today, to get reacquainted with the place. I met him in the late afternoon and we came home together. Anne was off out to the Hearts Kilmarnock match, which, until Monday, I was to have attended too.

Jorg and I listened to some music from my collection of his choice and then we went on the internet to surf for weird japanese pressings of little known jazz CDs - as he is wont to do apparently...

We took some photos...and I added the four or so I took uptown and produced this collage...

Eventually, I got a bit bored with the surfing - it's not as good when you're not working the mouse is it? - and went back downstairs to listen to some more tracks and watch the Hearts game's progress on teletext. Another win. Still unbeaten. Anne was in a good mood when she got home after 11...

Jorg bought a CD by someone called Tacuma....

I forgot to mention that, yesterday, I bought an acoustic bass guitar for Jamie and I to use on future recordings - we're paying 50/50....

It should arrive by the end of the week...

advertising billiard balls is a bit of a comedown, but hey, it's a living!

...and as far as I'm concerned, they'll always be "Deeply Dippy" and far "Too Sexy For My Shirt" as far as I'm concerned...; 4:14 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!
