Listening to Rheostatics today, kind of in prep for seeing them early next month...

Another gig booked for two days earlier will see a host of Canadian musicians covering Rheos songs at the same venue, before the band set up camp for three nights, the middle of which we will witness...

I believe I am possibly their only fan in the UK and one of only two in Europe...

Meanwhile, back at home, this arrived...

I have inadvertently been collecting Bruckner's Vienna period symphonies and this is the last required...

I had planned a night of Bruckner's symphonies but, to be honest, there was only so much I could take...

Moved on to the genius of Yello's Boris Blank then, for the first time in a long time, listened back to last November's Capital Models' covers gig - my vocals, in hindsight, are not the best...

Two episodes of "Person of Interest" were the highlight of the day - loving this show...

Highlight of the day : Person of Interest

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!
