Crispycat Recordings: Wasted time and well spent time...

Wasted time and well spent time...

Playlist
Various - Weekly Playlist No 9
Creston Symphonies 1-3

I made a major error of judgement today...

I decided not to record the weekly podcast live, as it takes around two hours to do so...

Instead, I recorded the links on the little hand held recorder I bought a few weeks ago and then attempted to fit them in between the chosen tracks...

Of course actually choosing the tracks took a while too - I generally listen to around 400-500 tracks a week and choose 25 for the podcast...

Suffice to say, I spent most of the day on this stupid project, trying to put things through various different types of editing software et-bloody-cetera...

At the end of the day, what I ended up with was of such hopeless quality, that I abandoned the work very late afternoon and will return to it tomorrow...

On the upside was the return to winning ways achieved by QoS, thumping unbeaten in eight games Dumbarton 3-1 in Dumfries - Hearts were not so lucky, thrashed at Motherwell - 4-1 I believe...

So what else happened?

Well, Meg the Black Cat was weighed and found to be a reasonable 3.1kgs - maintaining her weight nicely...

What a wee cutie she is...

And a nice day weather wise...

...and an episode of "Poirot" was enjoyed...

We did not venture out until the evening...

Along to the Murrayfield Hotel, Spotify account name and password in head, for tonight's 25th Wedding Anniversary get together for Bobby and Jane...

Nephew Ollie and chums Murray, Jack, Owen, Jamie and the other one - man it's hard to remember names these days - enjoyed some FIFA Football via X-Box...

..and some mobile phone stuff - goodness knows what, possibly reading previous entries from this...

Probably not..

Your correspondent spent much of the night chatting with nephew Craig and step-niece Rebecca and guitar and car owner Alan plus entertaining niece Kitty and her chum Katherine...

...and dancing with said young, ladies, friends of Jane and of course the Exec Producer...

Happy Anniversary J & B...

A taxi home post 1am...

Excellent night...

Highlight of the Day : Party...

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!
