Nephew Alastair and his sidekick came round this evening to replace our kitchen tap - and a very fine job they made of it too...

In less than 45 minutes it was done and dusted and was looking good...

Other than that, the CD listing continued apace - I reckon I have around 1,400 - 1,500 left to do...

At present I am listing classical discs and have taken the decision, for single composer discs, to date according to the year of birth of the composer...

Earliest disc so far is from the 11th Century - over a thousand years old - sobering thought...

On telly we were entertained by a very fine episode of "CSI" and the excellent and quite hilarious "Newswipe" on BBC4 from Charlie Brooker...

Off to bed with Joseph Haydn's ultra slow String Quartet "The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross"...

Highlight of the Day : My nephew is a plumber...

PS 30 Years today since The Sweet Thrill of Industry...

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!
