After five and a half years, I finally ran out of space for storing pictures on Google in the 1GB of free space they give everyone....

New storage has been purchased ($6 pa for 5GB)...

Bartok's string quartets and 125 singles by Alice Cooper soundtracked the day...

Finished the film tonight (I think - I hope)...

Rehearsed the set - still, still not 100% convinced - maybe it should be me and the guitar doing old stalwart songs and forget the backing track and the film...

Listened to the far out sounds of Elliott Carter's oboe concerto from 1988 (recorded on his 80th birthday that very year) with Meg the Black Cat...

Watched "Spooks" - love that show...

Updated this for the last three days...

Listened to the Creek raw material for the new LP - Mr Sutherland has done a sterling job which input from the rest of us is easily going to balls up completely...

Then some Bad Plus...

That's it...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Carter with cat...

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!
