Spent much of today enjoying late sixties period Miles Davis...

Still keeping up my new walking regime – I generally walk around 3 miles each day – however, this does usually involve a brisk stroll along to FOPP each lunchtime...

Last week I bought from them on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday – and this week started with more purchases – a couple of Blue Note compilations and three Stanley Clarke albums...

“Live at the Greek“ is certainly better than the reviews at Amazon.co.uk would have led me to believe...

It’s not even the end of March and I’ve bought over 100 CDs so far this year and that’s including a fortnight’s abstinence in February...

"Live at the Greek" is my 5,009th CD...

0001 Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon (Oct 1985)
1,000 Public Image Ltd - Flowers of Romance (July 1995)
2,000 Lowcraft - Manticore (December 1999)
3,000 CBQ - A Nice Job In A Small Town 1986-2002 (Oct 2002)
4,000 Brad Mehldau - Art of the Trio Vol 1 (Apr 2005)
5,000 Dionne Warwick - The Very Best of (Mar 2008)

That's an average of 18 CDs a month for 21.5 years...

That's more than one CD every 2 days for 21.5 years...

That's probably too many CDs...

Came home to find Meg the Black Cat relaxing in the new look music room...



In the evening the last of “Moving Wallpaper/Echo Beach” - it will be missed...

“The Passions of Girls Aloud” featured Sarah learning to play polo and eventually falling off her Polo Pony...

Still no sign of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” returning to the schedules...

But comedy entertainment was provided by "The Big Bang Theory" and by Top Gear pretending to be Ground Force and ruining Sir Steve Redgrave CBE’s rather large garden – didn’t think you were paid for winning the Olympics but he seems to have done alright...

Highlight of the Day : Top Ground Gear Force

You can never have too many Cds. Until you buy the 'Party Party' soundtrack. Then you have to stop.

Yes, you're probably right Will - that's when I'll know it's time to stop...
