For the record, yesterday I defrosted my gym membership...

Deep joy...

Listening today to options for bonus material re the upcoming CBQ LP...

And, for just £2.99 into the coffers of Mr Amazon, a disc of singles, album tracks and rarities by Alexis Korner's band, CCS is winging its way to me...

For those of you old enough to remember, their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love", was the theme tune to "Top of the Pops" for most of the 1970's...

Later on, this car-hopping seagull entertained...

In the early evening, I watched the second half of England v France, having missed both goals...

Everyone is commenting about this tournament, that the old "we could go all the way" mentality of the English media is missing...

Sadly, all it took for it to raise its head again was an everyone-behind-the-ball 1-1 draw against a once great footballing nation now ranked outside the top ten...

Mind you, how England manage to be ranked sixth...

Must be all the diddy teams they beat whilst being drawn in ever the easiest qualifying groups...

And I vowed to myself I wouldn't let the grapes of sourness poison this post...

Sadly, I am driven to it by biased commentary and comment and by pundits who were plainly watching a different game from me...

Later on, post a very tasty macarnoi from the Exec Producer, I kept one eye on Ukraine v Sweden, whist listening to some shuffleplay faves and perusing the internet...

Very entertaining and a fairytale come true for the Ukrainians and, in particular, their captain Schevchenko, who scored both goals as they came from behind to beat Sweden 2-1...

So now, England play Sweden on Friday - a game which Sweden must win and then take something from France if they are to progress...

Sadly, if Sweden do win, England will probably beat Ukraine and scrape through anyway...

It's only a game eh?

At the suggestion of Dr Prog, JS Bach's partitas soundtracked writing this up...

Late doors, some Coheed and Cambria second hand for a couple of quid from Amazon...

To bed with Edgar...

Highlight of the Day : An unexpected win for Ukraine...

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!
