Another clear cold morning...

Another walk to Fopp at lunchtime and another Riverside 3LPs in one for a fiver partaken of...

In the evening down to Keith and Maureen's for tea prior to a quiz night at the local bowling club...

Before that though, news that Keith is going over to the dark side and whittling his CD collection down to a more manageable size, given the propensity chez K&M for music listening now to be via streaming services...

Keith gifted me a rare 10CD box set of Albert Ayler and invited me to take anything out the black bags of about to be dumped discs that took my fancy...

An offer I could not refuse...

Tasty casserole and off to the club for a night of fun, with Abby and Blair and Rod and Ishbell...

Here your correspondent makes the classic selfie error of looking at the phone image rather than the lens...

Suffice to say, although we both came close, neither of our teams, Chameleons or Cornelians, won the night, losing out to the Friday Floozies - one of whom insisted the green and yellow wire in a domestic plug could be called either Earth or Neutral - til we called up a diagram to prove they should lose the point (yes I am that petty)...

"They must have changed it" was the incredulous response...

It's only a game of course...

Home after midnight with a great big bag of new music, only to find this behind the door too...

More difficult listening from the hat label..

To bed with Frank Zappa in New York...

Highlight of the Day : Keith's generosity...

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!
