Hanged man...

Playlist
Gong - Shamal
Gong - Expresso II
Bruford/Borstlap - In Two Minds
Blue Roses - Blue Roses
Bigelf - Hex
King Crimson - Cadence and Cascade (3xCD-R)
Bigelf - Cheat the Gallows

Another fairly uneventful Monday, the daylight hours soundtracked by Gong...

Browsed this month's "The Wire" whilst listening to Bill Bruford and Michiel Borstlap...

Watched "University Challenge", then ran throught the 30 minute set again...

Then back downstairs for "Flashforward"...

Then back upstairs to burn a copy of the King Crimson compilation I used to introduce brother-in-law Keith to the band exactly a year ago...

This copy is for "The Man" Colleague Prog Rock Willie, who has recently introduced me to the music of Bigelf - he is a prolific buyer of CDs, much like me, and I hope this taster will turn him on to the magic of King Crimson...

Designed a new cover, removing the red angry face of brother-in-law Bobby and replacing it with Fergus Hall's Tarot of the Witches paintings...

To bed with the Bigelf in my lugs...

Recommended...

Highlight of the Day : Bigelf and Crimso...

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!
