Kind of accidentally bought two Fripp & Eno CDs on e-bay today – I bid £8 each always thinking someone would come along and outbid me...

No one did...

Ooops...

And, of course I have both of them already but not these new remastered versions – although you may recall I made my own versions of the “No Pussyfooting” extra tracks a few weeks ago...

Anne’s very popular Lamb Casserole for tea – Mmm mmm...

Inspired by last night’s open mic, I didn’t go to Out of the Bedroom but, instead, stayed in and played a few songs In the Bedroom...

Good listening today in the shape of my favourite albums of the months so far this year (other than the two jazz CDs which topped my “charts” in February and October)...

On TV, the welcome return of Jack Dee’s show “Lead Balloon”...

Into the 1990’s re the Anthology with one of my favourite tracks from the Sombre Reptiles album, “Crispysnatch”...

“Regret” features Crispy the Cat on piano in the opening segment...

It's available via the link to download my music for free...

ANTHOLOGY 1990
SOMBRE REPTILES - REGRET

Highlight of the Day : Anne’s Lamb casserole

Will said...: If one of the Fripp & Eno cds is 'Evening Star' I'll happily buy it off you.; 2:05 pm
Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: They are "No Pussyfooting" and "Evening Star".

Sad to say Will, I will be keeping them both as I am mad.

But I am hoping that Mr Fripp will surely have done something to Evening Star to have made it a worthwhile project to re-release it.

One of my all time fave albums, the opening two tracks being a piece (as a whole) which, for me, is up there with "Starless"...

Sorry!!; 9:13 pm
Will said...: No problem. I've been listening to No Pussyfooting (in all its versions) almost non-stop since getting it.

And I fully understand holding on to both copies. I sometimes want to buy albums I love twice, just because I love them (I may have ought the DVD of Three Colours:Blue twice for the same reason).

I'll be off to the shops then.; 12:15 pm

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!
