Box of miles...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Ersatzreal
Miles Davis - Just Squeeze Me
It Bites - Still Too Young to Remember (Remix)

Spent much of the day today listening to and researching the recording dates of the contents of a 10 CD box set of Miles Davis purchased for just £8 from FOPP...



It contains music from 26 different studio sessions, 90 tracks in all, recorded between 1949 and 1956 and is an excellent find - mostly material originally released on Prestige and some from the Blue Note archives...

From e-bay, a 3" CD single by It Bites - a remix I've never heard before of one of their last singles...

Didn't rehearse Jamie's tunes tonight as I wanted to save my fingers since my callouses have disappeared due to lack of use over the last five months and blisters started last night...

I did however put together copies of his revamped CD, which'll be on sale...

Anne made a great spicy pork dish from scratch from a wee cookbook I gave her as part of her birthday - it was delicious and there's some left over for tomorrow too...

In between enjoying the playing of Mr Davis and his cohorts, we watched "CSI", last week's "Law & Order : Criminal Intent" on tape and this week's episode "live" - including annoyingly long ad breaks...

Tasty music, tasty food, tasty TV - it doesn't get much better than this...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Miles Davis/Anne's cooking
