Yellow matter custard...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Acoustic Deeperdown
Yellow Matter Custard – One Night in New York City
Ferde Grofe - Grand Canyon Suite
Shostakovich – Romance (The Gadfly)
Van Der Graaf Generator – The Box (Disc 4)

Spent most of the morning re working the acoustic version of “Deeperdown”, this time keeping the backing vocals – I’m still not sure if this works or not....

Also had to prepare a CBQ biography for a proposed gig – demo and biog to go to the promoter..

The postie brought Yellow Matter Custard’s 2CD + 1 DVD triple set, “One Night In New York City”. It’s a Beatles tribute by Neal Morse (ex Spock’s Beard), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Greg Bissonette (master bassist) and Paul Gilbert (ex Mr Big and Racer X – and one shredder of a guitarist)...

I sat watching the DVD with a big smile on my face as the four musicians are so obviously enjoying themselves. Most of the songs are “obscure” (if anything by the Beatles can be obscure) album tracks – 31 in all and over two hours of fun, fun, fun...

Great stuff!

Once Anne came back from Edinburgh, we started wall papering the back porch and finished this fairly quickly...

Then I finally removed everything from the back room in preparation for the carpet laying tomorrow...

One of the things I decided to dump was my first mic stand, bought in 1979 to use with the group Capital Models....

Watched France finally beat Togo after a long hard struggle then decided to wipe a lot of wav files from the hard disc to clear up some space. I burned Van Der Graaf generator’s “The Box” 4CD set to disc and listened to disc four, eventually falling asleep in the living room while Anne watched Jonathon Ross...

Highlight of the Day : Yellow Matter Custard DVD

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!
