Up around seven and compiling another MP3 CD for the car re today's trip to Glasgow...

Arrived around 10:30 and by quarter to eleven we were in Avenue G on Byre's Road for breakfast...

I went a bit off-piste and chose a bacon and maple syrup waffle...

Very tasty...

A look round the shops here resulted in inevitable purchases from Fopp...

The box of the first series of "Heimat", three french films and CDs by Donovan and Bill Frisell..

Onto the Clockwork Orange to the city centre...

...where we split to shop for things each of us likes...

I headed to Monorail at the East end and found the debut by Canadian punk faves Alexisonfire 2nd hand for three squids...

Was also looking for a new jacket but to no avail...

Drawn to the main Fopp, I picked up the fifth DAF album, "Fur Immer" along with a three disc selection of EDM...

Meeting up with Anne, I found she had a few bags of things she likes...

Back to Hillhead on the subway and to the car to dump the bags...

Scenes from near our parking place...

Then, a walk to the Kelvingrove Museum...

..and a look round...

...followed by the inevitable coffee and cake...

More looking around...

..including their most famous exhibit...

..Salvador Dali's "Christ of St John on the Cross"...

What a japester Snr Dali was...

In a case outside the room where the painting hangs, were some artefacts from previous Dali exhibitions here....

In 1974, I visited the gallery for the exhibition "Dali : His Art in Jewels"...

On to the other works...

Annie enjoyed the colourists...

These from a prisoner of war camp in what is now Somalia...

We were chucked out at five...

..and headed back to Ashton Lane, past the University...

..with views through the woodland of from where we'd come...

A drink at Brel...

..and along to Ashoka...

...for a very tasty curry...

And then home...

A call to my mum re today being the tenth anniversary of old Dad Reilly's passing...

"We just have to get on with it" she opined...

Then, to listen to today's acquisitions...

Another good day...

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!
