It's getting on a bit in the year now...

This morning, my attention was once again drawn to the sky...

Geese flying off for the winter...

In the evening, mostly TV plus some late night listening whilst researching new furniture...

Elsewhere, the return of King Crimson was announced...

Robert Fripp advises the line up will play in the Autumn of 2014 and feature three drummers...

The line up is advised as Mel Collins, Robert Fripp, Gavin Harrison, Jakko Jakszyk, Tony Levin, Pat Mastellotto and Bill Rieflin...

The first five of these appeared on the Crimson Projekct release last year "The Scarcity of Miracles"...

Mastellotto has played with Fripp since 1992 and the outset of the Sylvian/Fripp band while Fripp has recorded a number of albums with ex-REM drummer Rieflin, who is also a member of Humans with Fripp's wife Toyah Willcox...

Sadly, it seems there is no place for Adrian Belew...

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!
