Launched the new album this morning and yesterday with various announcements and e-mails - more to come post the op tomorrow...

Orders coming in already but of course there's a postal strike at present...

A quiet night in was brightened up by a visit from James Jamieson, who called round to borrow the main mic from Crispycat Studio - he's looking to record a new album at the end of the month...

We sat around listening to music for a few hours and generally chewing the fat about this, that and the next thing...

Took my mind off tomorrow - I seem to be far more concerned this time than last November when I had my left shoulder "done"...

Ended the night watching the highlights of Saturday's Hearts game with Anne...

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!
