I did more yesterday, but someone bought me a bottle of Rich and Spicy Shiraz and the brain needed a rest by time of typing up.
Today's horoscope
It's a good day to tend to mundane issues. Get your finances in order, do some needed career planning, garden, or rearrange furniture.

- Read Rory Gibb & Dan Barrow's column in The Wire #367 September 2014 - really good. Gibb seems to have more sound references than the Old School Values text.
- Uploaded 4th Novation Bass Station controlled live set, which lasted over 15 minutes last night. It sounded really good live, and sounds decent in recording; you don't get the same layering build-up from the looping chronology by listening back to the layered-loop final version. Now to try utilising looped audio tracks/segments.
- Listened to this excellent electronica collage by Blevin Blectum, which is half drill 'n' bass and half noise

Jon, you can order "Irradiance" for me :P. Just kidding. It's contemporary classical, might not be your or my thing. In the meantime I'm having much fun listening to Blectum's "LazyCoffee April" mixset that's just come on after the other track.
- Discovered Robert Scott Thompson has placed my review of his "Arcana" (my second Wire test review) at the top of the releases' page, above Textura no less. I did ask him to keep it under wraps in case Derek wanted to publish it, but no matter. He's sent me a copy on CD which I think is at the post office.

- Listened to "Arcana" while falling asleep after meds this afternoon. I'm still experiencing an acute drowsiness in afternoons after the dose I'm on in the mornings. But I'm my happiest ever and haven't needed to reach for the Diazepam for around 3 weeks. That would be because I'm doing everything planned as comfortable.
- Learned how to pronounce Szechuan the Chinese way, not the American way. Will be cooking Szechuan Beef from the Fakeaways book tonight, looking fwd.
- Tried playing a set piano mix on the larger keyboard with a linked mix of "All By Myself", "Forgotten Times" and "Muttley Theme". Fingers weren't working that well.
