Nice and early rise...

..outside, this...

...liking it because I would not be going out in it...

Still early and working on all the new music downloaded over the past few days...

By breakfast time, the snow had stopped...

Granola and a banana...

...and an update on Anne's latest work...

A day of WFH...

And listening to new stuff - while it took an absolute age to get it into iTunes - so annoying and frustrating...

And compiling this week's podcast, which will feature a load of records I used to own, some new things by long time faves, only a couple of new releases, plus another new CBQ track...

Today's record was this, bought on release on import back in 1986...

There are at least three Sparks classics on this LP, the last I bought on vinyl...

For tea tonight, Anne's best ever prawn curry in the world...ever...

Oh yes...

And an evening of telly watching (Mary Beard's programme on Culture, "Winter Watch", "Death in Paradise") while big downloaded box sets etc made their way into iTunes without me standing there watching it and getting frustrated and annoyed...

Last thing, deciding to add Edward Spark's newly released track to the podcast, so one track on the pic above will need to be to dropped...

Then some more sorting out of the new music (including leaving stuff to load into iTunes overnight) and off to bed with "Sparklemusik" in the cans...

Highlight of the Day : Anne's Prawn Curry...

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!
