Prepping, wrapping and a late quartet...

Playlist

Various - Milano Jukebox 2016

The lurgi well and truly kicked in today but I was determined not to allow them to ruin Xmas...

A goodly amount of the day was spent watching these...

"Bad Santa", we had not seen for a few years and remains an occasional Xmas fave - the Muppets was pretty bad and only served to remind me how ill I was feeling...

However, the ballet was astounding - it has sat next to the TV, still in its cellophane wrapper, since last Xmas - top notch...

And "A Late Quartet" was a quality film indeed, even managing to bring a tear to the eye of Mr CBQ, along with a renewed interest in Beethoven's Opus 131...

Elsewhere, final prepping and wrapping of Anne's presents for tomorrow...

Not too late to bed, all things considered and another Xmas Day to look forward to...

Highlight of the day : One more sleep till Xmas, even if it would, inevitably, be interrupted by coughing and throat pain...

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!
