Xmas Eve - arguably the best day of the year...

Up in a fog...

...and to podcasting...

...putting together the 4th volume of my Top 100 of 2020, while the house was still quiet...

My Top 100 Albums of 2020 are showcased across these four #podcasts. Meanwhile, the final #Eclectic Selection of the year will be out on Sunday

This morning, pre 9, not-WFH...

Oooh what's this?

My absent colleagues (I was the only person in) had scoffed the lot - including today's...

Oh well, for the best...

I was txt'd re some raspberries in the bottom of the fridge...

Some of them were actually still ok...

After shutting up shop, I walked along to Fopp...

I noted a few things I might download later but did not particularly wish to shell out on...

However, finishing off the big token - given this is the last day for a few weeks I will be able to shop for CDs - I did partake of this...

..and, possibly a mistake, this...

..and this, for £3, which is better than it looks...

A walk back to the car along Rose St, resulted in one final purchase for the EP tomorrow...

A lovely day - but the town was dead...

Home...

And some Xmas telly watched...

...and custard pretended to be drunk...

...and Xmas telly watched...

..and Xmas wishes sent forth via a 26 year old pic...

For tea tonight, an Xmas Eve special...

Yumtastic!

Later on, some prepping of the EP to e released tomorrow, some listening to the new CDS, some more Xmas and, indeed, not Xmas, telly...

To bed, excited like a child...

Highlight of the Day : It was Xmas Eve!

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!
