David Reilly – Anthology 1977-2007
Various – Singles October 2008 (CD-R)
Continuing with the listen through the ten volumes of the Anthology today, I experienced a further 61 tracks, taking me to the end of 1997 with three volumes and fifty pieces to go...
Picked up the guitar and sang through six songs – reasonable...
Tonight off over to Fife with Anne to meet up with Chris, Competitive Dave and his lovely wife, Colleen...
Here’s the quintet pictured earlier this year...
A few drinks first in a bar up the road from Chris’ place (Diet Irn Bru for your, driving, correspondent) then, stopping off at Tesco for provisions, back to Chris’ flat...
Singstar was the entertainment of the evening and both Mr CBQ and the Exec Producer were to be heard belting out the tunes along with Chris, Coleen and a very Competitive Dave...
Top score of the night was Dave’s rendition of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” followed closely by yours truly on Bowie’s “Life on Mars?”...
Other tunes murdered included Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, Pet Shop Boys’ “Always on My Mind”, Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Take on Me” by Aha, “Mr Brightside” by The Killers and a particularly dreadful duet by Anne and I on Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”....
We wrapped up around 1am and headed home...
No sleep for me though as I have contracted another cold/throat infection, leaving me coughing annoyingly and having to get up around 3 am to listen to music and potter around (and write this)...
Today’s Anthology track is “Terra Nostra Epilogue”, an instrumental from the Sombre Reptiles March 1984 album, “Terra Nostra”...
I’d started using guitar again on my recordings having abandoned it a couple of years earlier...
The unsung lyric is a steal from “Casablanca” – “you must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss and a smile is just a smile”...
The album was recorded at same time as I was working on the Love Parade project with Count Brodski....
This is another of my short, reasonably tuneful instrumentals...
