Up just before 7...

...and a wee seat in the back room...

Then, choosing todays random section, 29/432....

Section 146, from Mathilde Santing to Klaus Schulze...

I chose 3 electronic music LPs I don’t know too well...

Aaron Jerome aka SBTRKT, from 2014, London composer Danny Saul from 2010 and a 2001 comp from Cologne based Jo Zimmerman aka Schlammpeitziger…

Once again though, I only managed to listen to one of them...

Firstly, as I was busy editing last night's recordings and distributing the MP3s to the boys in the band...

Then, we watched Eurovision - most of the 25 songs all the way through but skimmed through the voting to the public vote at the end...

Let's just say Ukraine didn't win due to their song...

My fave was, of course, Norway's song about giving a banana to a wolf, followed by Sweden and Greece...

All in all though, only Norway stood out - and it was abysmally treated by the juries and the public...

Oh well, what do I know?

Later, a visit to my mum...

Choosing books to read...

A long, laborious attempt at standing, eventually succeeding...

And listening to last night's performance and giving it the thumbs up...

Home for lasagne and more "Rita" - we are well into season 2 now...

Luna likes lasagne too it appeared...

So cute...

...and tired...

Back room now re-set awaiting work of some sort...

And, over the next fortnight, my top 5 of 1993 will be chosen from these 70 contenders...

Weekend over and to bed with David Sylvian (not literally)...

...which was soon replaced by listening back to the 17 minute raffle prize give-out from last night - before the end of which, I was asleep...

Highlight of the Day :Eurovision...

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!
