I was up at 6:30 and worked on finalising the last Crispycat Newsletter of 2008 before heading to the podiatrist for 8:45...

Back home to breakfast and I had intended to go uptown at some point today but decided against...

Finished the missive and sent it out around midday then went to work on copying Alan’s David Sylvian DVD and the Eric Dolphy and Miles Davis boxes borrowed last week from the library for eventual listening...

Anne was off to Tynecastle for Hearts v Dundee Utd (a disappointing 0-0 draw) while Queens’ woes continued with yet another defeat – one point from their last seven games...

I took an age to overcome some problems with the studio set up as I went to work on the new Creek stuff...

I added a few guitar lines to one backing track and it quickly turned into a new CBQ song – “We Drove” – so I put that to one side and went to work on track two – adding guitar lines to this funky piece – only to find it turning into yet another new CBQ track “The Fire in the Clearing”...

I need to get my synths out of the loft to work on Creek properly...

In the evening we picked up sister Pam from the airport and took her to my mum’s where she’s staying over Xmas – and indeed will be preparing our Xmas dinner on Thursday...

Pam introduced yet another new word into the English language while talking about her recent mishaps including the tale of the accidental acquisition of a black eye and the tale of falling down a flight of stairs...

Calamityness...

Back home for some “Match of the Day” which found me snoring on the settee – and so to bed...

Highlight of the day : Musicking...

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!
