Drink, drank, drunk...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Soundingfall
Various – American Graffiti
Iggy Pop – Party
Various – Strange Country

Up early and working on the cover for the new LP now that the music side is finished while Meg the Black Cat investigated some Jazz from what looked like a cosy wee spot...

I also uploaded the new versions of parts 1 and 2 of "The Sound of the Fall", now with added rhythm section, along with the final mix (after much tweaking, chopping and changing) of "My House Could Be Your Home"...

For brunch, I popped out and bought some free range duck eggs and pork and apple sausages...

Spent most of the afternoon bringing the Crispycat Website up to date in preparation for the release of the new LP on 4 May...

Watched the first half of Arsenal v Chelsea before heading out to meet Arsenal Chris in S Queensferry for the second half in The Ferry Tap...

Unfortunately, Chelsea won 2-1...

More drink softened the blow for Chris and we ended up in the Queen’s Spice Indian Restaurant for some lovely curry – both Chris and I enjoying a Lamb Madras while Anne opted for Lamb Tikka Rogan Josh...

After a walk through the town...

..and admiring the floodlit Railway Bridge...

...we drove Chris back to Fife and had another drink (your correspondent, in driving mode, enjoyed Ginger Beer, Diet Coke and Diet Irn Bru during the evenings shenanigans)...

We dropped Chris off at his fifth pub of the night on our way back home...

He doesn’t have a drink problem – he seems to find it quite easy...

Highlight of the Day : Getting ready for the new LP...

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!
