Media overload...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Nine New Songs
Pink Floyd – The Final Cut
Yes – Fragile
The Beatles – Revolver

Awoke this morning to the sound of Radio 4 replaying its reports from 7/7 (as it’s called) last year...

Unbelievable...

Total media overload today (and indeed over the last week or so) re this anniversary of a terrible event and I have nothing but sympathy for the victims (more so for the injured survivors whose lives have been ruined) but really, media, show some restraint and some respect before you turn everyone off...

And let’s have some perspective please re this so called “war on terror” or rather “War On Terror”...( http://www.jimpix.co.uk/words/terror.asp#conc)...

In the evening, “Coronation St”, “Law & Order” and another “Law & Order” on video then listened to The Beatles’ “Revolver” while reading the notes on each song in the superb book “Revolution in the Head” by the late Ian McDonald (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_MacDonald) with Meg the Black Cat lying beside me and purring...

A nice end to the day...

And for the second night running, I went to sleep without listening to any music...

Highlight of the Day : Meg the Black Cat’s purring

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!
