Back on the big screen...

Playlist
Brad Mehldau Trio - The Art of the Trio Vol 4
Various - 101 Running Songs
Britten - The Very Best of Benjamin Britten

Meg the Black Cat saw me off from the back door this morning...

Who knows what goes on in that wee head...

At lunchtime an errand for new slippers for the Exec Producer, her current ones having been ruined in an "accident" in the front garden, during a clean up post front step rebuilding action...

A visit to the British Heart Foundation Shop resulted in over a hundred so-called "running" songs entering the collection, set out on five CDs for two point nine nine of your English pounds...

I am sure there are a goodly number of this just over a century of songs which do not feature on other items in the collection...

I am sure...

It was for charity...

Idiot...

Back home and a wee package had arrived from Amazon...

A tasty three disc box of Benjamin Britten's best bits and the converter required to link the netbook up to the big screen...

Once again there was much cursing and swearing emanating from the computer room as your doltish correspondent struggled to cope with the intricacies of computer screen manipulation...

After a couple of hours of fruitless, frustrating experimentation and much restarting of the system etc etc etc, success...

The large screen is now an "extension" of the small one, so I have two screens to work on - my target was a clone but every time I thought I had that in place, it buggered up the whole thing - so side by side (or above and below) extension it is...

Finally able to relax, we enjoyed "Big Bang Theory", "Two Broke Girls" and the welcome return of "The B(itch) in Apartment 23"...

Later on updating of the Albums of the Month Blog and some Britten listening while researching London accommodation for a trip early next year to see Matthew Bourne's "Swan Lake" in situ at Saddler's Wells...

I will not now be attending the Edinburgh performance but Anne loves it so much, she will...

Sorted just after midnight and an alert out for reasonable train prices as soon as they are released...

Lights out...

Highlight of the day : Back on the big screen...

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!
