On the need to brush up...

Playlist
Bidiniband – The Land is Wild
Nick Buzz – Circo
Jill Hepburn – Snowflake

A quiet day initially soundtracked by solo albums from Dave Bidini and Martin Tielli from Canadian faves, Rheostatics...

Jill Hepburn’s CD also arrived and was duly given a spin...

This is only her second CD - the previous one being an EP – despite her having been on the Edinburgh singer/songwriter scene for seven or eight years...

As a result, it contains probably her best 10 songs, many of which I recognised from having seen her so many times at Out of the Bedroom and around town...

A lovely girl and a lovely album - I’ll be heading to the Listening Room at the Blue Blazer on Bread Street on Sunday night to hear her live unplugged set – and might well sing a couple of songs myself...

Need to practise a wee bit though...

Other than that, TV kept me occupied most of the night, with two episodes of “Big Bang Theory” and “This Week” entertaining – unlike “Question Time”...

I gave up on that half way through and retired to the PC to compile a 16 track “2009 Sampler CD” for chum Chris-with-a-Ch, having agreed we would both compile a mystery CD for each other to be exchanged tomorrow...

Highlight of the Day : Big Bang Theory...

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!
