Another busy day ahead...

More "work" on yesterday's session - prepping for an upload tonight of the whole thing to WeTransfer for the "lads" to download at their end and also "work"...

Then, soundtracking from the mighty Rammstein...

...which continued in the car as we picked up Bob and drove to Glasgow to the digs of the boy...

A certain studentiness in the air...

The view from the office this morning...

Here he is - all grown up in a place of his own...

Feet off the counter please Olly...

Out and through the botanics, past a UFO...

...towards Byres Road..

...for a Subway into town...

Tix for later secured...

Lunch at Ad Lib - very tasty burgers - fish tacos for Bob - additional bread and butter pudding for a growing lad...

I left the three musketeers to make their way to that Hampden to watch Hearts get gubbed 3-0 in the semi final of the League Cup by Scotland's questionably funded newest club...

After a mooch around Fopp, under the bridge to find Missing has moved to new premises...

Nice and big...

Spent a good hour and half looking through every single CD in the shop, to a singalong soundtrack of Hawkwind's classic "A Space Ritual"...

Finally purchased these for £12...

Tasty...

A walk along Argyle St with a fruitless stop into HMV - then, on to Mono, noting a fave cake shop has shut down...

Nothing at Mono either...

BAck into town and metaphorically twiddling my thumbs while the trio awaited the final whistle ...

We met back at St Enochs...

...and took the Subway back to Byres Road...

A walk around the outside (due to a paid entry light show) of the Botanics to Olly's place...

Cheerios said and back into the car for the hour drive home...

Dropped Bob off and home - Anne catching up with "Strictly", which I am eschewing this year - and me working on yesterday before finally uploading for the boys in the band...

Lights out on an excellent, packed weekend...

Highlight of the Day : Hawkwind at Missing...

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!
