Twittering this morning about the new CBQ album I was advising that those who enjoy the music of Helmut Lachenmann, Thomas Köner or Robert Fripp...

This lead me into a listening session re the works of Herr Lachenmann and the downloading of over four hours of, shall we say, "difficult" music...

To my mum's at lunchtime and out for a lunch, her first "leisure" outing from the house since coming home from hospital just under two weeks ago...

The venue was The Steading and tasty food was enjoyed, including these desserts...

Apple and Blackberry Crumble with Custard for Anne, Fig Plum and Pistachio Frangipane Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream for me...

...and Apple Pie, also with Vanilla Ice Cream for mum...

My mum does like a dessert...

Coffee back at her place and then, home for some rehearsing - this time backing tracks plus vocals and bass guitar...

In the evening, no tea re the earlier participation in large, leisurely lunching...

New drama "Undercover" looks promising, following a very slow start...

And we've not even started on "The Night Manager" yet...

Lights out...

Hihglight of the Day : A nice meal out with my old ma...

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!
