Busy, busy, busy...

Up at 7:30 today and updated the journal, then started on compiling my "best of" CDs for October and November...

Was planning on shaving my head, having a damn good scrub and heading out to Patisserie Florentin for breakfast but, by the time we were both ready to go, it was 11:25 and Anne reckoned it might be a bit busy for us to get a place, and me with my crutches etc etc so she went off instead to bring back some croissants...

I listened to Ian Sclater's album and hobbled around the kitchen making the coffee for Anne's return...

Watched the second half of the Harry Potter film from last night with the sound down - turned it up when Anne came back as it takes 40 mins to get to and from Patisserie Florentin - almost exactly the timing of the IS CD...

Harry Potter - it's for kids guys - adults - stop reading the books - you are truly acting and looking foolish...

The film was ok, though the story-line, or what there was of it, was very weak - which is how I remember the first movie being...

JK is laughing all the way to the bank...

Watched the highlights of the 1st Division games from yesterday including QoS being soundly thrashed by Airdrie. We need a whole new defence..

Then back upstairs for half an hour till Anne gave me the heads up that Girls Aloud Live in London was about to come on so went back down for that and video'd it too with a view to transferring the soundtrack to CD. I like Girls Aloud....

Then Stargate SG1 - not seen this for ages so another treat - thank you Channel 4...

Then off to Anne's mum's for family tea - Ollie and Kitty getting excited about Christmas - Nephew Craig wins this fortnight's Switch Rubber

Back home, update journal, compile and burn "Best of November" CD, Match of the Day 2...

More CD orders have arrived so need to get those out tomorrow...

Busy, busy, busy...

if you can't hear the Kraftwerk theme in the Coldplay song then I can't help you. It's deffo there - to the extent that Kraftwerk have co-writing credit!

Foot is still sore and immobility frustrating!

later dude; 12:53 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!
