Acquired solitary pleasures...

Kansas - Song For America
Kansas - Masque

Kansas - The Point of Know Return
Kansas - Monolith

Yesterday's purchases soundtracked today...

Inevitably, another scorcher...

Once again to the bespoke tailor with welcome "hands exposed" results...

And, once again to Fopp, after having studied Kansas' discography last night and realising I must have missed out on their 1979 album "Monolith"...

Duly found for £3...

I also picked up Katy Perry's second album for a pound less and, due to making purchases, was offered "Iron Sky" on DVD for another three...

This is how I waste my money...

Back home and another night of Kansas ensued...

A nice wee playlist of the longest track from each of their nine studio albums from 1974 to 1983...

They really are an infinitely unfashionable band but I really do enjoy their prog-like music, although I am unlikely to say to visitors, "hey, why don't we stick a Kansas album on?"...

Like much of the music I own, definitely an acquired taste and a solitary pleasure...

After that, "CSI" entertained pre sack hitting...

highlight of the Day : More Kansas...

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!
