It's football Jim, but not as we know it...

Playlist
Various - Jukebox Shuffleplay
Rheostatics – Last Ever Concert (3xCD-R)
Return to Forever – Where Have I Known You Before
Allan Holdsworth – Velvet Darkness

Today I burned a three CD set of the last ever concert by my Canadian favourites, Rheostatics...

Then I listened to it – all three and a half hours of it...

In the evening, we watched Rangers’ goalless draw against Barcelona – a hard fought point but I’m afraid it hardly constituted “football”...

Listened to some crazy jazz fusion as I watched...

Before retiring for the night, I bought a new LCD telly off t’internet...

Highlight of the Day : Rheostatics

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!
