Spiralled downward today into a deep depression re wasting my time...

I was up, as usual on a Saturday, extremely early but managed to get nothing done “early doors” as I spent so much time trying to sort out the jazz jukebox – well not so much sort it out as get it to be recognised by the Creative Music Organiser, which I use to move tracks about etc etc...

I had thought I might go uptown, maybe to the music library, but I didn’t...

Anne went off to Tynecastle to watch the glory that was a 2-1 victory over the Huns of Castle Greyskull, erm, I mean Glasgow Rangers - while I went to the attic to continue on “Untitled #9” taking it a little further with the addition of more colour...

...don’t really know where it’s going though...

So, I made a start on “Untitled #10”...

...which bears a passing resemblance to “Untitled #1” (aka “Breathless Burning”) which is in a wine merchant’s personal collection and so to which I no longer have access...

Updated my picture sorter outer, Picasa, which now lets you make wee movies from stills – again wasted some considerable time on a fairly useless project on this...

Responses received from Cobley and Sutherland re the proposed reactivation of Creek – just Brodski to radio in now...

In the evening, I moped around – enjoyed “Merlin” and “Match of the Day” but felt rather guilty about the seeming waste of a perfectly good Saturday...

Today’s two Anthology tracks take us to 2006...

ANTHOLOGY 2005
CLOUDLAND BLUE QUARTET – THE CROCODILE SONG

Another of my more “popular” songs, co-written with my nephew, and featured on the album “Deeperdown”...

ANTHOLOGY 2006
CLOUDLAND BLUE QUARTET – STARTING TO WORRY

Like “The Crocodile Song”, “Starting to Worry”, which initially surfaced in acoustic format on “The Acoustic Ersatzreal” (the final version appearing a year later on “Ersatzreal”), features lyrics which are darker than they might appear on first listen – a typical trick from your correspondent throughout his so-called “career”...

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!
