Cloudland Blue Quartet - Electronic Collection 1977-2007
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Concrete
Robert Fripp - World Trade Center, 28 November 2000
John Coltrane - The Complete Quartets
Up at 5:30 and to the PC to compile a CBQ electronic collection for Dr Prog - he has requested this along with a copy of the latest Spock's Beard album and who am I to argue?
By 9:30 it's done and ready to be listened to - and lo, it is good...
Today I had the choice of:-
(a) working on the new CBQ song album (free but hard work)
(b) going to see Hamilton v Queen of the South (£14, and in Hamilton)
(c) going to see Scotland v Wales (free and with food and drink thrown in)
I swithered over going to watch Queens for the second week running, but, eventually, I chose option (c) and was entertained right royally from around 12:30 till 6:30, including the game...
..which Scotland won 21-9...
66,999 other people were there too and they all seemed to be driving their cars in the direction of Crispycat Towers as I headed home on foot (travelling faster than the buses caught in the traffic)...
I can advise there are 1,510 CBQ length steps from the bottom of Corstorphine Hill to the back door of said Towers...
Anne didn't particularly enjoy the Jam Tarts' 1-0 win over Inverness but, you know what they say, "win ugly"...
At Hamilton, Queens came from behind to draw 2-2 but remain bottom of the league as both their closest rivals also secured draws...
In the evening, we watched a new Sci Fi series on ITV1, "Primeval" which was ok (with excellent special effects though), followed by "Harry Hill's TV Burp" on tape, then "CSI:NY" and a particularly good episode of "Law & Order", ending off with the final couple of games on "Match of the Day"...
Then upstairs for me to get this up to date whilst listening to Bob Fripp's soundscapes from back in 2000 at the now destroyed World Trade Center, and downloaded the old Grandaddy album "Under the Western Freeway"...
I've only bought one CD this week (Vivaldi on Monday) but, this morning on e-bay, I bid for two quite rare Blue Note discs and found on my return from the rugby that I'd won both...
At Amazon, they would have cost over £50 for the pair - I secured them for £10, including postage...
And so now I look forward to their arrival...
Finished off the day with some tasty John Coltrane...
Highlight of the Day : The rugby and "Law & Order" - a tie...

I travelled into town on Saturday with folk going to this game. It was a pleasant train journey. Did you hear that? A Pleasant Train Journey. It's a pity these folk don't travel on the commuter in the mornings - it'd cheer us up.
Ah the rugby crowd - always entertaining...as opposed to grumpy, elbowing commuters...
