Cloud control...

Playlist
Music Music Music – Everybody Digs Music
Various – Jazz Jukebox Albums Beginning with “A”
Various – Prep for Cloudland Podcast No XV
Edward Spark CBQ Remix
Depeche Mode - Playing the Angel

A huge overbearing cloud of gloom entered the life of Mr CBQ today – for no discernable reason*...

An overwhelming feeling of “I’ve had enough...”*...

No doubt it will pass...

Finished off Curly the Caterpillar the Chocolate Cake tonight, after a fine sirloin steak salad – handiwork of the Exec Producer...

A taped “Law & Order” was enjoyable, then prep for the next podcast (still have to acquire a further three CDs till it’ll be time to post) enjoying music by Morrissey, Yes, Ben Folds, Clementi, Dowland, Jimi Hendrix and Iron Maiden which went someway to lift the mood...

I think I’ve given up on live music from Mr CBQ though*...

Pre-op inspection on Friday morning looms...

*Ignore the pathetic, morose ramblings of this overweight fool who obviously doesn’t realise just exactly how good he’s got it...

Just as I posted this I realised keeping a diary can be a cathartic exercise...

Highlight of the Day : Music – as ever...

Chicago Splicer said...: Hi, fell upon your blog. Dig the music and family touch. Have tagged. As a fellow blogger, what program do you use for the multi-photo pictures. And...because I'd like to incorporate family voices...what do you use for your music cuts. Thanks and happy birthday - Chuck

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Hi Impossible Songs - intrigued by your mention of a "project"...

Hi Chicago Splicer - I use "Picasa 3" to create collages of pictures - I sometimes find it quicker to then take a screen shot rather than go ahead and save the collage, as the program eats up memory (of wbich I probably don't have enough)...

As regards music, I upload MP3s to "www.4shared.com" (which gives you 5GB free space - I have two accounts, one for Crispycat Recordings for mu own music and one for podcasts of other people's stuff (see links) and I use their embed html text to post into blogger on "html" rather than "compose" mode...

Hope this helps and glad to have you aboard...

Cheers; 11:41 am
impossible songs said...: I was thinking of adding some of Ali's vocal plus whatever to My Last Trip and remixing it - if you're ok with that. Naturally I'll see you alright when it goes to No1 in Peru.; 2:14 pm
Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Always open to interpretation so sounds interesting John - do you want the master Wavs sent over? Mail me?

Cheers; 8:15 am

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!
