Crispycat Recordings: Procrastination...

Procrastination...

Good news - nothing too seriously wrong with Meg the Black Cat - she needs to lay off the dried food and has had a whacking great £30 odd injection of antibiotics and steroids to get her quickly back to normal...

I am a procrastinator...

Do I have a fear of finishing the job?

This evening I fired up the computer and loaded up various tracks into various programmes but, frankly, I was overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do to produce anything of any import...

This has to do with my decision to totally re-record my latest song based album from scratch...

It's daunting to think of having to go back through all the songs and try and load up and sync or completely redo all the different parts currently sitting in what are probably quite fine (but recorded in a less able to be manipulated format) backing tracks which, at present just need lead and backing vocals added....

But I do need to do this....

I think...

So I ordered an Indian Takaway instead and watched Coronation Street then compiled the "Now That's What I Call A Good Album...August" and "Now That's What I Call A Good Album...September" CDs - one track from each of my top ten CDs acquired in those months (see them all here: http://www.monthlytoptenalbums.blogspot.com/)....

Then I watched some more TV whilst listening back to the CDs....

Rock School with Gene Simmons was good...

I should have been working but basically wasted my time...

I am a procrastinator...

Before going to bed I took a few badly lit shots of all the stuff (including a newly-well-again Meg the Black Cat) lying around in the back room....

I need to get down to things tomorrow...(procrastinator's motto)

I've spent all day today trying to get the multitracking on my computer to work but to no avail - while it's hardly a catastrophe in world terms, it's very, very annoying...; 4:59 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!
