OK so I find going to the gym thee most boring thing in the world - but I need some exercise and I'm not yet ready to resume five-a-sides on a weekly basis so, basically, it's walking...

Every weekday morning, after walking down the hill from Crispycat Towers to catch the bus, I'll be alighting at Haymarket and walking into the town centre and, as has been the case for some time now, around lunchtime, I will be seen trudging along the length of the Princes St parallel Rose St to FOPP and back...

Of course this means that, most days I'll need to buy a CD or a book or a DVD or something to go into the big skip when I snuff it (or to Dr Prog and Count Brodski's collections should they outlive me)...

Today, two £1 compilations of tunes from the Invictus Label - top stuff - 42 tracks for two quid - has the world gone mad???

Then on the way home, I will reclimb the hill to Crispycat Towers - all the while enjoying the offerings of the Jukeboxes...

But not tonight - a wee drink and then, much to my surprise it transpired Anne was still out and about at 9pm with chum Lynn, having been out for lunch earlier in the day - so I joined them for a swift half and an Americano at All Bar One before Lynn's Ross came to pick us up and take us home....

While Anne listened to the happenings surrounding the transfer window - I wrote up the last three days of this nonsense whilst listening tracks from the last few CD acquisitions as I converted them to MP3 and added them to the famous jukeboxes...

...which included a couple more from e-bay too...

Highlight of the Day : Beer and Coffee with Anne and Lynn

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

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!
