No listens to the music of my No 1 favourite Alice Cooper, who is 62 today...

But another wander around HMV – is that all I do with my life? Visit record shops?

While I emerged empty handed, Prog Rock Willie kindly supplied me with 5 new discs by bands I’ve never heard of...

Back home and back to the gym for tonight’s workout – I seem to stress out if I get the notion when using one machine that all available versions of the next machine to be used are taken and that I might end up standing around waiting for one to become available and wasting my time...

This from a man who wastes an inordinate amount of time wandering around record shops...

But surely a record shop wander is a better waste of time than standing in a smelly gym waiting for a machine to be freed up?

Post gym and pasta based dinner, the new prog-based discs from Willie are very entertaining – it’s amazing there are so many quite excellent musicians on the planet who receive so very little recognition of their talents...

I do not include myself amongst them...

In a completely different musical direction, a heads up today from collaborator Craig Sutherland, co-writer on half my last album, sent me looking for material by ace remixers Deep Dish...

Meg the Black Cat helped me in my search and we had soon snaffled a Depeche Mode remix and a DJ session...

These recordings gave me an idea of how Craig thinks Mr CBQ’s future music should sound...

I must say if it were to end up sounding anything like this, I would be very pleased – but would never see myself playing live again...

On TV “Grand Designs”, “Mock the Week” (somehow emasculated now without Frankie Boyle), “The Big Bang Theory” and “This Week” entertained...

Lights out with Deep Dish on the cans...

Highlight of the Day : New music...

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!
