A frosty start to the day...

Soundtracked initially by Mr Schwartz...

...then Django Django and Tangerine Dream...

Bright and cold...

Salad and fruit at lunchtime in Princes St Gardens...

In HMV, took this of a Deus compilation, which I may emulate at home - I believe I have all the Belgian faves' LPs...

And noted this with a view to listening later...

Anne was out with chum Teresa tonight...

I was listening to more music, including James MacMillan's Piano Concerto No 2 on Radio 3 as I cooked...

...and compiling my first "April Music" podcast - which will feature 20 or so tracks from albums released in April over the last 50 years which were also released as singles...

Took some time out to watch the leaders' debate...

I especially liked Nicola Sturgeon chastising David Cameron for wanting to hold a referendum on staying in the EU...

The staying in the EU side will comfortably win if it ever comes to pass by the way - just as the "no" vote comfortably won the Scottish Referendum - a fact which seems to elude the SNP conciousness...

Why would a country want to leave such a successful union instead of working together to make it better she wondered...

Without a hint of irony...

I find it incredulous that so many seemingly intelligent Scots support the SNP - the not so intelligent I can understand...

No doubt Andrew Neil will make sense of it all in "This Week", which is about to start...

Highlight of the Day : Music...

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!
