Track of the Day

Tonight, Anne took me along to the Filmhouse to see “Revolutionary Road”...

We used the last of the tokens her brother Keith and his wife Maureen gave me for photographing their wedding last summer...

I knew nothing about the film beforehand, other than it starred Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio – which, to my mind, didn’t bode well...

I must say though I was most impressed and really enjoyed it – despite it making me feel very depressed indeed at my own pathetic existence...

Meanwhile, George St was sparkly as we walked back to the car...

I really ought not to go to the cinema or watch DVDs...

I am far too impressionable...

Back home, cheered up (and brought back to reality) by “My Name is Earl” then wrote this as Anne watched a taped “Masterchef”...

Ended the day with "Question Time" and "This Week" after some exquisite, life affirming piano playing by Mr Gould...

Ah, living the dream...

Highlight of the Day : Revolutionary road...

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!
