I suffered for my art today by listening (almost all day) to the three new proposed EPs...

Last thing last night, I created a new backwards ambient mix of the long piece "Hey Hollywood Nimrod" and so, this morning, I added the relevant MP3 to the jukebox playlist of the fifteen tracks which will be spread across the three EPs....

In the process, I removed the rather clunky mix I did back in November which was previously slated for inclusion...

I hadn't heard the backwards mix yet though, so it was a nice surprise to hear it in context...

Once again I passed up on telly to work on the new discs, tonight finalising the covers...

Looking good...

I didn't pick any of the portraits from the collage I posted yesterday - instead I chose this by Stuart Cobley...

The three discs are differentiated by the font of the "CBQ" logo on the T-shirt...

I also wrote up this week's entries having not had the time on the days themselves as I preferred to work on these new releases (or visit Jim Park's comedy club)...

Another productive day...

Late night TV included new comedy, "Benidorm", followed by "Question Time" and "This Week" - and, on Youtube, I watched all the new PG Tips ads and the old ITV Digital ads featuring Johnny Vegas & monkey...

Hmm - February already....

Highlight of the Day : Cover finalisation

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!
