Fresh and stupid...

Playlist
Marillion - Happiness is the Road
Ten Years After - Cricklewood Green
Barclay James Harvest - And Other Short Stories
Clifford Brown - Memorial Album

To FOPP at lunchtime and another three £3 CDs purchased...

I used to have the TYA album on vinyl but remember nothing of it - it's ok. BJH, also ok. Clifford Brown offers some tasty early 50's jazz - a master of the trumpet of whom Miles Davis once said, "I wish someone would punch him in the mouth to give others a chance"...

To the gym for a three mile run...

Back home, pasta for tea and Fulham v Atletico Madrid in the Europa League Final - the London club losing 2-1 after extra time in an evenly balanced match...

Funny how easy it is to root for an English team as long as it's a comparative "minnow"...

Newsnight and some very stupid interviewing of Tory and Lib Dem politicians accusing them of ditching policies - erm, it's a coalition involving compromise - what's not to understand...

Hoping for some cuts at the BBC so Kirsty Wark gets canned - asking the Culture Secretary about Trident? Great...

Ended the day writing up more of the holiday and listening to the first snippet of remixing from Australia...

Collaborator Ryan points to his guitar in a Robert Fripp stylee...

Highlight of the Day : Start of a new era...

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!
