A chair has been added to the set up - the small stool with a couple of cushions just wasn't doing it for me - in the same way that the previous raised set up with standing operation wasn't either...

Hopefully this suffices until headquarters can be moved back, post redecoration and design...

Breakfast in the living room...

...and out into the day, with me on the cans on shuffleplay re the short (or rather, long) list of songs...

Both Fopp and HMV visited at lunchtime but no purchases...

On the way home, the new wee cat in the neighbourhood was spotted again...

It's a shy wee monkey...

A package awaited, The Tubes' "Love Bomb" - seen by some as the death knell of the band yet they are still playing spectacular shows thirty years later...

Later, out the window, a planet and the moon were subject of botched attempted captures...

..and the Tubes album was the 48th physical acquisition of the year so far, 82 days in...

The rate of this year is much reduced and, as a kind of bonus, "unwanted" discs are also exiting the collection via Amazon...

January saw 27 acquisitions (87% of a CD per day), February 14 (50% of a CD per day) and, so far this month, just 7 (30% of a CD per day)...

Some TV enjoyed - 2 episodes of "House of Fools" - which I've decided is utter rubbish but occasionally very funny, mainly due to Matt Berry's presence - "Bluestone 42" already at its 3rd episode with some personnel changes and enjoyable still...

Also, the welcome return of "Person of Interest"...

All this goggle boxing meant I missed a couple of mails coming in from Creeker Craig re some work carried out on Creeker Stu's Saturday recordings...

One for tomorrow now...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Person of Interest returned...

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!
