The disappointment of it all...

Playlist

Various - iPod Shuffleplay

Isa And The Filthy Tongues - Dark Passenger

Ravi Shankar - Incredible Ravi Shankar Raga Charukauns

Basquiat Strings - Basquiat Strings With Seb Rochford

Kim Edgar - The Ornate Lie

A grey day...

Another walk down to Stockbridge...

This time, my credit note was utilised fully and discs by Goodbye Mr Mackenzie remnants Isa and the Filthy Tongues, Peter Gabriel and Ravi Shankar were secured while, in a nearby charity shop, Basquiat Strings and Kim Edgar joined the fray for a mere squid each...

Back home, no time to listen initially as I set things up for tonight's rehearsal with Jamie...

..and some hastily prepared drum loops - Keith and Andy once again being indisposed...

...here, Jamie is pictured during a well-earned break...

We ran through around a dozen songs from the original 1979/80 repertoire of Capital Models, recording it all for posterity - later realising I'd set the recording levels too high...

Just as well really because it wasn't our best ever night of music - half a dozen songs or so are possibly presentable and, of course, they will all sound better with Keith and Andy on board...

A quick listen to some of the new acquisitions on Jamie's exit...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Rehearsing, despite the disappointment of it all...

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!
