Crispycat Recordings: Dear diary...

Dear diary...

Just so as to avoid any confusion, it should be understood that this is a diary...

To emphasise that, I've just changed the name from "Cloudland Blue" to "Cloudland Blue - A Diary"...

One reason for it's existence is so that I can go back and say "aah, that's what I did that day" or "Is it really X days/weeks/months/years since I did that/that happened?" etc etc...

A second reason for its existence is to show how run of the mill everyday life can be for a reasonably unknown musician and artist...

For example...

Today I trawled through "Now That's What I Call Music Voumes 1 - 62" copying tracks which I deemed to be "of a party nature" and ended up with a selection which will last for over 10 hours - including several tunes which I find to be not to my liking but there you go...

The intention is to burn an MP3 CD and set on shuffle play..

This is the thirtieth day since I broke my ankle - the previous twenty nine are set out below....

Of course if it's really just my diary, why does it need to be online?

PS Bought a new DVD Player today and watched "Rush in Rio"...

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!
