Up at 5am, unable to sleep...

I’d gone to bed last night listening to three albums by Allan Holdsworth, one of my upcoming “tasty trios” and so, on rising, I decided to ensure every piece of Holdsworth music in my collection was indeed uploaded across the jukeboxes...

At lunchtime, noted that Zavvi in Princes St has shut down (almost overnight)...

No great loss, though I did pick up a few bargains recently...

Hopefully HMV will hang on, though they received no funding from me today...

Sent off Mr Smith’s two Tangerine Dream CDs – hopefully they will arrive safely – I understand he’s back from his US Tour with the Mighty Crims...

Back home a delivery from Amazon brought a new pair of Koss Sparkplugs – the new version of their brilliant “Plug” in-ear headphones...

The Maxell nut-cans I bought a couple of weeks ago from FOPP are already heading binwards being, frankly, shite...

Also in the pack (purely to ensure free delivery – why pay £3 when that can be factored into the price of a CD) UNKLE’s new opus, “Stories for Film”, with which Dr Prog and I were most impressed a few weeks ago in Glasgow pre-Spock’s beard whilst browsing in FOPP...

Not as good as I remembered first time through – second time on the new phones and it’s definitely a grower...

Then, miracle of miracles, there’s a download available ALREADY, over at DGM Live, of King Crimson’s 7 August set at Park West, Chicago – a double disc equivalent for a measly $10 – I urge you to partake...

To cap a good day, Queen of the South overcame Dunfermline in Dunfermline tonight 2-0 in the Challenge Cup...

Lovely...

Highlight of the Day : King Crimson Live in 2008...

Martin Lennon said...: I partook.

Astounding! And I said so on the guestbook at (probably unnecessary) length. Indiscipline alone was worth the price for me.

Who'd have thought a bunch of old geezers could sound so young and punky?

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!
