The filling of the hard drives...

Playlist

David Bowie - Blackstar

Cloudland Blue Quartet- Four Last Things

Udo Lindenberg - Feuerland

Various - Hut Ab! Hommage An Udo Lindenberg

Handel - Farinelli

Cloudland Blue Quartet - The Leonard Cohen EP

Isaac Hayes - The Collection

Jean-Michel Jarre - Zoolook

Thomas Köner - Unerforschtes Gebiet

Day two of our post Bowie world and some of the wailing and gnashing of teeth which took place across the world and, especially, on "social media", now seems perhaps just a wee bit OTT in the cold light of day...

But at least it's not reached Princess Di proportions...

Sad times though...

And started the day with Mr B's latest - it really is very good...

Some avant garde photography...

...and this arrived yesterday and was unmentioned - and indeed unplayed until today...

It fills a wee gap in my Udo Lindenberg collection...

Meanwhile, I don't really have that many gaps in my Isaac Hayes collection but this compilation, for £2, contains one track I don't have and so was deemed "worth it"...

And, thirdly, the Jean-Michel Jarre mini avalanche has commenced with this from 1985, featuring Laurie Anderson and Adrian Belew...

Also downloaded a goodly number of recordings by Thomas Köner, who has informed my own music since I first came across him in London in April 2013...

Tasty home made Chinese fayre from Anne sustained last night - tonight it was a poor wee but tasty chicken and home made roast potatoes...

Other than this listening, a busy night on the TV front with the conclusion of last night's unmentioned "Silent Witness", along with the weekly installment of "Holby"...

That was it...

Highlight of the Day: New music and, as ever, Anne's culinary arts

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!
