Rather inevitably after last night's excellent gig, It Bites soundtracked the day until I got home, after passing this tree which I’ve been wanting to record for a few days...

...anyway, I came home fully intending to do “stuff of consequence”..

Instead, I just listened to the new CDs purchased yesterday, as I ripped them for the jukeboxes...

Elsewhere, a nice review arrived in my inbox re my performance three weeks ago at Out of the Bedroom...

"I seem to have landed in the mellow and reflective ending of a spectacular showcase of local music - proving that there is much more to contemporary music than mainstream audiences appreciate.

As evidenced by the following superb acts...

Cloudland Blue Quartet

The one man band that is David Reilly plays just a guitar this time, and lays bare how well-crafted his songs really are - he asks the audience (no, he's not on the 10 grand question!) to pick a number from 1 to 100...

"100"

"Let me put my arms around you...let me carry you away" he states, within the boundaries of his tightly focused, introverted pop and it's difficult not to be taken away by it...

Another number - and this time its..."3"

This appears to be about emptiness within a relationship, lost ghosts of it lingering, whilst he laments "if only I'd say goodbye".

Don't we all feel that way sometimes?

It's good to see David grace the hallowed ground that is the Tron - it's always a good sign when such good performers keep returning to us..."

Nice one – and here I am on that very night, courtesy of the OOTB website...

...it’ll be interesting to see what they make of last week’s disaster...

Another enjoyable “Law & Order : UK”, then off to write this, whilst enjoying Mr Vaughan Williams’ symphonies...

Stayed up late loading tracks and listening to some great old singles from Chris-with-a-Ch's Mybook...

Highlight of the Day : A good review and some new music...

The review of last week's debacle arrived in the inbox today and is also pleasantly positive - given the performace though, not sure if, overall, that's a good thing!!; 1:17 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!
