Listening to unreleased music for much of the day...

This wee monkey was on the back door when I left this morning - and still there when I returned this evening...

Down to the zoo...

A walk to Fopp at lunchtime...

Fela Kuti in the cans - wonderful stuff indeed...

I may have been subliminally aware of the date as I bought this...

Home to the sound of Steven Wilson's latest - like Morse's latest, another prog masterpiece..

Alighted at a not normal place and took an alternative route...

...through the now around five year old building site...

This evening, catching up with "The Interceptor", although it turns out we did not record the episode which aired while we were in Germany...

"Not Safe For Work" took a turn for the better...

The 5CDs of the French set were ripped and sampled...

Some of it is "not the best"...

But there are enough decent tracks to justify the 300 pence outlay...

More French stuff also enjoyed tonight...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : La belle France...

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!
