Trip ended...

Playlist

It Bites – The Tall Ships
Jimmy LaFave – Cimmaron Manifesto

Track of the Day
Jimmy LaFave – Lucky Man (5:50)

Home to bed just before 2am last night after picking up the Exec Producer and her friends and ferrying them to various parts of the city...

Gave me the opportunity to listen to the latest album mock up in the car though, so I’m not complaining...

As a consequence however, up late today at 8:15...

Anne slept on, as I spent four hours working on a new mix of yesterday’s new tune “My Last Trip”....

Went for provisions thereafter and we lunched as the Rangers v Celtic derby started – I ended up watching most of the first half – not a great game...

Retired back upstairs and spent another couple of hours, firstly creating a shorter edit of the track then re-recording my lead vocal and adding a few guitar lines and doing a third mix of the song – only to reject it...

Then I sang through all nine songs currently to be included on the LP - not bad...

Listened to It Bites' new album then watched two episodes of “Harry Hill’s TV Burp” – comedy genius – then headed out to pick up a Chinese takeaway before Anne watched “Dancing on Ice” and I set about creating the “final” mix (the fourth overall and third today) of “My Last Trip” – which I’ve now posted up in the side bar, replacing yesterday’s first take on matters...

Cleansed my palate with the melancholy of Jimmy LaFave – who takes the honour of “track of the day”....

Finished off with a Girls Aloud documentary...

Highlight of the Day : Finishing the new song...

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!
