Saturday...

I have been looking to learn another Elton John song...

Meanwhile, the system awaited...

Added to the podcast output of 2020...

..and downloaded a load of new music , released in September, as I try to keep up with the times...

Nice new LPs by SAULT and Tangents plus new singles from Nina Hagen, William Fitzsimmons and New Order...

Neal Morse's "Sola Gratia" was a trifle disappointing, while Dua Lipa's "Club Future Nostalgia" was probably a step too far...

Also gave a listen, for the first time in a long time, to Cloudland Blue Quartet's "Soundingfall" and very much enjoyed it...

A tasty breakfast...

...accompanied by the radio...

Listened to some of yer actual CDs for a change...

...and had a go at rearranging the "library"...

Random LP of the day today was this from Daryll Hall - produced by Robert Fripp and, infamously, withheld for several years by Hall's record company, as they thought it would destroy his career...

Watched something or other on the telly - but now, two and half weeks later, even with this picture which I must assume I took to jog my memory, I have no idea what...

(it was the veru enjoyable indeed "Elona Holmes" - writing this on 3 November, looking back a month)...

The library was returned to its former state...

No idea why I took this...

And that was a Saturday spent in the house due to rain...

Highlight of the Day : Probably new music; and the big breakfast by the looks of it...

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!
