Crispycat Recordings: I raise you one year and will "see you"...

I raise you one year and will "see you"...

Albums of the day:
Peter Gabriel - Up
Chad Wackerman - Forty Reasons
Grand Funk - Shinin' On

No visit to FOPP today but I did pop into Virgin and found Isaac Hayes' "Shaft" at £3.99 and bought that....

It is deemed by Anne to be "hardly music of any consequence" as I put it forward for our listening pleasure as we drive out to Loanhead tonight to visit my mum. Instead we partake of Dar Williams' latest album "My Better Self" - it is indeed better than "Shaft"...

My mum's not been well this week but, by tonight, is almost back to normal. We do however argue over who has had the longest lasting illness when Anne mentions my ankle may take up to a year to heal....

My mum ups the ante with a two year period of "not being quite right" following a bout of septesemia a few years back. I vow to take two years and a day to allow my leg to heal...

She's on reasonably good form despite her recent woes and a good night is had by all...

Anne and my mum agree that my coffee making leaves something to be desired however...

Back home, I fall asleep on the settee watching the drivel that is "Jonathon Ross"...

Highlight of the Day : A visit to my mum's

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!
