Opened the day with a surf around the net, mainly reading through the blogs I link to...

Then compiled the third in a series of CDs compiled from free downloads from DGMLive...

Also compiled my top ten CDs for January...

You may recall I vowed at the start of the year to try and limit myself to 10 discs a month - in fact, I acquired 26 at a total cost of just over £100. Still, it’s an improvement on 2005 when I bought 44 CDs in January – last year it was just 14...

Still in a quandary as to whether or not to unleash the unscheduled album I appear to have created over the last few weeks, or whether to abandon it and move on to the real next CBQ disc which ought to be full workings of the last 15 songs I’ve written...

Of course it’s not as if the world is holding its breath re this but it matters to me...

I listened through to the album again and it sounds good – but it could be better if I could be bothered putting a lot more work into it...

But can I?

I am a very lazy musician...

Up town around lunchtime, leaving Meg the Black Cat snug and asleep....



Anne was buying birthday presents for our niece, Kitty, who will be three this week (or “free” as she says) - I went to FOPP and, at last, gave in to the three Uriah Heep CDs which have been sitting there for some weeks now at £3 a pop...

They are the group’s last two studio albums, from 1995 and 1998, and a live set from 1994...

When I was a teenager, I loved the music of Uriah Heep....

These albums are not by the classic line up but they are by the longest lasting line up and, they are pretty good rock records...

I also bought a live set by jazz guitarist Grant Green from 1971 which lay in Blue Note’s vaults for 35 years – “Live at Club Mozambique” - which is highly recommended, brilliant jamming jazz stuff...

So that’s 4 CDs in February so far – and it’s the fourth of February..

Alice Cooper’s 59th birthday...

Back home to hear Queen of the South have drawn Hibs in the quarter finals – at home. Not a good draw. At home they’re unlikely to make as much money and, playing Hibs, they’re unlikely to progress – we can dream though...

In the afternoon and evening, "TV Burp" from last night, "Law & Order : Criminal Intent" from Friday, “Coronation St” - Friday’s and tonight’s, and “Match of the Day 2” and, were I not such a lazy musician, I might have done some some work on music after listening to some Heep...

But I stuck Grant Green on the Walkman and groooooooved the night away instead...

Highlight of the Day : Discovering the last Uriah Heep albums are not as bad as I imagined
