Last day of a long and weird year...

Here, a picture a day...

Up at six...

First listen of the day, last night before hitting the sack post midnight, was this...

...which was also the first listen this morning...

Views...

First things first, I amended the title of the new collection from "Twenty Twenty Vision" to just plain old "Twenty Twenty", got all the notes and everything up to date and sent it out into the world...

You can listen to it here, on Bandcamp...

Later on, after a lazy day of doing nothing much at all really (we may have watched the film with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg re adopting kids but I can't say for sure if it was today), the scene was set for the end of the year...

Happy new year everybody...

Of all the acquisitions I posted up on Twitter, this was the most popular in terms of "likes"...

So I gave that a listen this evening...

A tasty Indian Takeaway for tea...

...accompanied by Bob's gin from Xmas - lovely...

...and some not that great telly...

These blurry fireworks were from Stirling...

And so, it was all over...

A dreadful year, all told...

Although I did manage to release 8(!!) new works...

The previous 8 took 7 years...

Hmmm...

Off to bed just after midnight with "Billion Dollar Babies" in my ears...

Goodbye 2020...

Highlight of the Day : The end of 2020...

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!
