Up at 7, wrote up the diary and brought my CD Purchases Book up to date - 33 new discs so far in April and 108 so far in the first 111 days of 2007...

So much for getting my CD disease under control this year...

Surfed the net including interview footage with Gilbert and George on the Tate Gallery website and footage of Billy Cobham performing with Horace Silver on YouTube which, unlike the CD I bought the other day, does show off the drummer’s prowess..

Out at 9.45 to the podiatrist and a clean bill of toe health was obtained..

Back home – I re-recorded vocals for “The Golden House” and “He Thinks of You”, remixed “The Angels Took His Soul” and wrote a new lyric for the Velvet Underground based backing track from last week and so “Waiting to Die” became the 20th track for this latest project...

I was going to add some electric guitar to various tracks but decided that was a task for the future....

Then I worked on the running order and came up with a provisional tracklist...

Whilst doing this I was watching the videoprinter on bbc.co.uk as the goals came through – Hearts were beaten after scoring first at Ibrox while QoS were thrashed 3-0 at St Johnstone – but as both Airdrie and Ross County drew, QoS are safe and will spend their sixth consecutive season in Division 1 next year...

Hurrah!!

In the evening, John and Ali of Impossible Songs came to dinner – Anne had been busy for most of yesterday and toady in preparation and the evening went swimmingly with everyone enjoying her signature dishes of home made pakora, veggie curry, pilau rice and nan breads...

A bright pudding of fresh raspberries and some of the creamiest ice-cream I’ve ever tasted followed with coffee to round things off...



With MP3s of the 51 track Dr Prog compilation providing the background music, we chatted into the night about probably mostly music but also my CD affliction...

Ali confessed to having a similar problem re book-buying, so it was good to know I’m not alone...

They left tired but happy (I hope) around 12:30 and it was the end of another good day – more work on the album, Queens staying up, and a great entertaining evening..

Highlight of the Day : Queens survive/A visit from our chums
