OK Friday (yesterday)...

Up late and feeling grim - have been under the malevolent influence of a Covid type thing since Tuesday evening...

I am indeed, laid low...

And so I did not go to the place I go to lose - although re home measurements I was the same as last week...

As ever on a Friday, more new music than normal - including very welcome new items from Cosmic Ground and City & Colour - along with a digital box set from the mighty Hawkwind, a very tasty jazz item based loosely around "Bitches Brew" and a superb collection of minimalist piano music...

Secured too, Walter Gieseking's Beethoven Sonata 14 - when very small, my dad had a 72 single of his take on the piece...

Anyway, almost all the new things were squeezed into this week's podcast which was recorded today...

Total time taken from commencing recording the links to creating the final 3 hour MP3 via Audacity was just around 100 minutes...

Of course, then I had to listen back for 3 hours to ensure no botches...

Not to worry...

Lovely chicken, leek, babycorn, cream cheese and mustard rice dish from Annie for tea...

"The Sinner" continued" and we also enjoyed "Beyond Paradise" and The Cleaner"...

And Anne managed some painting too...

Both here..

...and in the kitchen, as the window sill there was finished off...

Off to bed, coughing...

Highlight of the Day : New music and chicken thing...

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!
