At lunchtime today, this at Fopp for £3...

It soundtracked the drive home and then the early evening, with Anne out for dinner with chums Chris-with-a-Ch and Gillian...

Three day old soup and some bread for your correspondent...

Hard what to make of the "Floyd" disc given I'm so au fait with the original - two of the worst ever Alice Cooper vocal performances I've heard don't add to proceedings but it certainly sounded better on the full system in the house than it did in the car...

"Ender's Game" was one strange and unsatisfying slice of nonsense this evening on the Tivo, pre taxi duties...

I bet the Orson Scott Card book is better - couldn't surely be worse...

Anne home around 10, a visit from Tiger, more listening and then bed...

Highlight of the Day : A walk from Fopp in the rain with high hopes...

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!
