A quick recap on today's goings on...

Re-recorded the second half of this week's podcast to include stuff from yesterday...

Mostly well known singles were removed, while what is probably some more fairly unknown stuff was added...

Brought the "red books of CDs I own" up to date by adding all these...

Purchases so far this year are running at around 75% of those last year, which is good...

Went out shopping with Anne, soundtracked by Francoise Hardy...

On our return, having purchased some stuff, took some pics of the garden - including the above...

Possibly too many flower pics...

...but the garden is blooming and needs to be recorded...

OK that's probably enough...

Watched, for the first time, three episodes of the first series of "Gary Tank Commander", which we've had on loan from chum Tracey for probably a couple of years - quite funny...

Did some ripping of some good and some not so good compilations, listening to the odd track as I did so...

Wrote a couple of chord sequences on the new guitar for what may become a new song - but which I'll probably forget the hummed but not recorded melody...

Enjoyed our first Indian takeaway for some considerable time, watched some telly ("Have I Got News For You" and "The Fast Show"(no that was last night), listened to some more music and surfed the net...

Another right riveting day indeed...

Highlight of the Day : Brief return of "The Fast Show"...

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!
