Up early and down to Arnold Clark to get the car back...

Photos taken of the replacement for security...

They'd had the car all week, insisting, despite the massive wobble and huge pull up required re the hand brake that, because their mechanic could pull it far enough up to hold the car on a hill, they did not need to repair it...

Seldom have I been so angry but, when I have, it has been in the past at Arnold Clark...

Suffice to say, after I went off on one, in 10 minutes the brake was fixed...

10 minutes - they had the car for a week and they had to give us a gas guzzling replacement...

Fucking incompetence to the nth degree...

Parked and location provided to Anne for a later in the day pick up...

At lunch time to Fopp...

Cheered myself up with this hitherto unknown jazz man - very interesting late 50's early 60's jazz/North Africa crossover...

Out...

In the evening, a meet with Anne, who advised the light on the dashboard which Arnold Clark said they'd fixed (without annoying me) was back on...

Jesus H Christ...

Anyway, to a nice pizza place opposite the Festival Theatre, then, in to see "Pepperland" with music, based on "Sgt Pepper", by Ethan Iverson, late of the Bad Plus; and choreography by Mark Morris...

The view from the office this evening...

Here's a trailer...

All in all, it wasn't as good as I'd expected - there was too much of the original music left in the score and the choreography, while good, was a little repetitive...

Still a good night out though...

Capped off by a visit from Fang on our return home...

Highlight of the Day : A juicy pizza...

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!
