The new podcast was issued this morning but the upload had already garnered a few listens overnight - which is nice...

In the evening, some time spent moving my vinyl, to the sounds of Chopin for no particular reason, as it seemed to be causing a little too much strain on the previous shelves...

New set up...

This will be revised too methinks...

In the inbox today - an excellent new track from Creek chum Edward Spark - top notch and I've arranged for it to be in next week's podcast...

Other than him, I'm currently the only other person to have heard it...

Prompted me to listen back to the last Creek sessions - which Craig (Ed) is supposed to be mixing to perfection...

And to one of my own last things, recorded in March and using a vocal track rejected by Craig during the Creek sessions - now he likes it - go figure...

Late on, "This Week" returned but without Michael Portillo...

Hopefully he'll return...

Highlight of the Day : New Spark...

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

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!
