Back in Edinburgh for the shortest day...

...and, as you might imagine, a trip to Fopp was on the agenda - with jazz offers being taken advantage of...

Back home, the big freeze ((c) BBC 2010) continued...

Word from sister Pam that she had her most relaxing evening yet last night since all this began, sleeping for a good 11 hours - just what she needed...

To the doc's in Loanhead today and the staples in her headwound were expertly removed...

Visits in the evening from local chums buoyed...

At Crispycat Towers, Anne's tasty pasta nourished while time was spent listening to new purchases and ripping in preparation for entry into the jukeboxes...

On telly, a live Xmas Special "Mock the Week" and a Tivo'd "Have I Got News For You" both entertained nicely...

Highlight of the Day : A welcome, distracting, visit to Fopp...

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

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!
