To FOPP today armed with a £10 FOPP token - but failed miserably to find anything which took my fancy - I think I want to buy Bonnie "Prince" Billy's new album as recommended in The Wire's year end list - I may bite the bullet tomorrow...

Back home, the second CD of 2007 was behind the door - a best of entitled "Collection" by Aussie 80's band who no-one in the UK has probably ever heard of - Models...

Anyway, I like it, and I like yesterday's Adrian Belew disc which is playing as I type - he really is a very talented man...

Both discs were purchased in 2006 and merely arrived in 2007 - I am now four days in to the year and haven't bought a CD - I really am going to try and stick to 10 discs a month...

Of course I've downloaded 52 tracks from the Pitchfork site this year and burned them to a 3CD-R set...

Idiot...

I was half thinking of going along to Out of the Bedroom tonight but still not feeling great and my leg was giving me particularly bad and annoying gyp today, leaving me hobbling around like a hobbler...

I was buoyed however by the review of OOTB from just before Xmas as I saw that my good old chum, Mr James Jamieson, played CBQ's "Skylines Full of Cranes" at the special Xmas Covers Night...

Cheers Jamie...

Telly tonight was the "Green Wing" special...

Anne recorded "Holby" whilst listening to a radio programme about Hearts - and so the programmes to be watched are piling up along side the music to be listened to...

Not enough time in the world...

Highlight of the Day : Listening to new music

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Ah yes, regarding the Italian author of the original lyrics to Mick Ronson's "Music is Lethal", whose English lyics were written by David Bowie - great song, great arrangement - Ronson's death was a huge loss to music tho he never did quite fulfill his potential...

I did an album of covers in 1984 called "Music is Lethal" which contained the song in question...; 8:39 am

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

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!
