Morning, Sunday morning. A little listening back work before the early morning shop for my mum. It’s what Sundays are for...

1st month of 2020 pt 2 away...

Up and readying myself, with a listen to my new stuff - out on Friday coming...

The beast was listening to itself...

...the younger version of the beast probably did this too much too...

Stuff...

At this point my new LP was still called "Untitled"...

Out, under the moon...

...me still in the cans...

Shopping achieved and home again within 40 minutes just as my record ended...

Post breakfast, decided to move all my hard drives...

I'd had this idea for a while but only today finally executed it...

Finally, finally, the infernal hum of the hard drives is no more...

Brainwave I ought to have had ages ago...

A tidy desk is a happy desk...

A record played - Nina Hagen's "Unbehagen" her 2nd and final outing with her band - an eclectic mix of punk, pomp and reggae...

...before she moved on to her more, shall we say, leftfield, and still going strong, solo career...

Meanwhile, downstairs, Anne's painting continues to progress...

Out to see my mum...

Upset that she can't seem to get her TV to work, is deaf as a post and shakes almost all the time...

TV fixed and instructions given for the umpteenth time, instructed that the time is now to have her ears syringed - and she is on the waiting list to see if her medication can be changed re the shakes...

This evening, some Schubert, in honour of his birthday,...

...before the latest episode of the reasonably preposterous "Finding Alice"...

Highlight of the Day : No more hum...

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!
