Uplift required...

Cloudland Blue Quartet – Track of the Day
“The Day You Went Away” from “Deeperdown” (2005)

Playlist
The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
Explosions in the Sky – Take Care Take Care Take Care
Dream Theater – A Dramatic Turn of Events
Jamie & David – 24 Covers
Various – Originals of Jamie’s Covers Set
Various – Trojan Dub Box Set

Yesterday’s purchases soundtracked the first half of the day...

The Velvets accompanied Meg the Black Cat cheekily nipping in to finish off the milk from my tasty Cheerios...







OK, I offered and she accepted...

In the afternoon with Anne away on a marathon walk with chum Lynn, I worked on the covers scenario, trying to acquaint myself a bit more with the twelve songs Jamie recorded on Wednesday night – including finding and listening to the originals...

We’re talking Stereophonics, Creedence Clearwater Revival (x2), Van Morrison, Stealers Wheel, Kenny Rogers, Bruce Springsteen, Glen Campbell, The Jam, Soft Cell, Paulo Nutini and The Beatles...

Can you guess the songs?

Tried playing through a few of my own choices – embarrassingly bad, with considerable uplift required over the next two weeks...

Some dub reggae was also enjoyed before an evening of Tivo and TV, including a re-run of last night’s snored through “Big Bang Theory”...

Lights out at 11:15...

Highlight of the Day : Big Bang - new series...
